Great news is that KBS Tour shafts are now available with all Epon irons. They've been officially added as options in the pro shop. There is a bit of an upcharge on them as they are not as readily available yet as other brands in Japan. Bottom line is that they are available to be built to the customer specs right from the Epon factory.
Shaft offerings for Epon irons are now as follows: Shimada K's - AC-10, 3001, 7001 Nippon NS Pro - 750GH, 850GH, 950GH, 1050GH, 1150GH Tour Dynamic Gold - S200, S400, X100 Black Gold KBS Tour NGS Mach Line Graphite Mamiya Axiv Graphite Graphite Design Tour AD Graphite Bassara Graphite Diamana Graphite |

Hey T,
Any chance of getting the KBS wedge shafts in their new black nickel finish in the Epon wedges? |

I will double check but at the moment I don't see those wedge shafts in Japan yet. The Japanese KBS site is only listing the KBS Tour under products.

Yup Fujikura is available I'll add them in. The Tour AD Pros are too but they are very costly.
Also the black KB shafts are also available now. |

Has anyone had the opportunity to demo the Diamana Thump iron shaft yet?
Curious to hear some reviews/feedback? Thanks! |

The Graphite Design AD Pros are almost as much as their driver shafts per iron. Very price IMO

I was able to try the KB tour shaft on multiple occasions but I have not hit nor seen the black version.
Anyone here know the difference or test it out? |

I'm 99% sure the only difference is the color\finish.
Very similar to the smoked DG S400 shafts |

I have the black wedge shafts. I swear they feel smoother. I have inquired about the black shafts for the other irons however was told that they are released in November and there are limited numbers available. They were about $15 more each than the normal KBS. |
