KBS Tour vs Dynamic Gold: Weight, Flex & Launch

The quick answer: KBS Tour runs 110 to 130 g (Regular to X-Stiff); Dynamic Gold runs 127 to 132 g. KBS describes the Tour as built for “mid trajectory”; True Temper describes Dynamic Gold for “low launch, controlled spin”. At X-Stiff and X100 both weigh 130 g.

KBS Tour vs Dynamic Gold: Weight and Flex

Every flex of each shaft with its maker’s listed weight (standard .355 tip). The rows line up by position in each range, not as equivalent flexes:

So a KBS Tour Stiff (120 g) is 10 g lighter than a Dynamic Gold S300 (130 g), while KBS Tour X-Stiff and Dynamic Gold X100 are the same 130 g. KBS also makes a .370 parallel-tip version (Regular 120 g, Stiff 130 g, X-Stiff 133 g).

What Each Maker Says

KBS Tour: “The KBS TOUR is Kim Braly’s signature shaft and is ideal for players desiring shot versatility and mid trajectory.” “The KBS TOUR offers a smooth, responsive feel and is the preferred model by several of the best golfers in the world.”

Dynamic Gold: “Delivering exceptional feel, consistency, and a penetrating ball flight, Dynamic Gold provides the control and workability that serious golfers demand.” “Dynamic Gold shafts are ideal for players seeking low launch, controlled spin, and maximum consistency.”

On the makers’ own words, the difference is trajectory: KBS names mid trajectory, True Temper names low launch. The spec sheets add the weight gap in the middle flexes.

KBS Tour and Project X weigh the same at each step of their ranges on the makers’ sheets: 110 g to 130 g in 5 g steps (Project X 110 g at 5.0 to 130 g at 7.0).
