    Currently playing the True Temper AMT Black in my T200’s Overall happy. I play them 1° flat or 62° for 7I.

    Using the miz shaft optimizer was on two occasions recommended the KBS $ Tour Taper Lite. Also a lie angle of 60.5° which is more like 2° flat of Titleist.

    Who has experience with the KBS and bonus if you also have experience with the AMT.

    Just wanting to hear your impressions and feels.

    If you're happy, don't let it bother you. If you can't get over it, go to a true outdoor fitting and do a side by side comparison.

    Hey Brian, so I've played the 2019 version of the T100s' with the AMT white. I know not exactly what you were looking for. I just went thru a fitting for the new T100s' blacked out editions. I was so surprised at the shat differences. I'm 52 and was a club professional in my late 20s and early 30s with a driver swing speed of about 100-104. I am fitted in the KBS $ taper lite now. Previously I was consistently getting all my irons in the 95-100 ft apex. With the $ taper lite shaft I've gotten an additional 10 ft of height in apex, a steeper angle of decent and getting a little more distance out of the club. I don't work the ball right and left much but I do work to flight the ball and the new shaft still allows me to drive the ball in a penetrating flight or full launch. Not sure exactly what you were looking for but I really fell in love with the $ taper lite feel.

    When I went for my Titleist fitting we tried all the shafts for my T300s and the AMT red R300s proved best for my swing. That is the reason I go for a fitting. Have been very happy with the results. Will be looking at the new T300s this fall and will again visit with my fitter to determine the best shaft. I am not an expert when it comes to shafts, so I go to someone who is. Just my two cents worth. My guy has been in the business over 35 years as a Titleist fitter.

    I’m currently playing project x LZ and on the shaft optimiser I was fitted into the s taper as well.
    I have to say it performed really well and all the numbers where perfect dispersion was way better and there was only 5 yard’s between the shortest and longest shots in the test and I hit a lot of balls.
