    Hello Team Titleist,

    I placed an order for two SM5 (54 and 58)  with black nickel wedge shaft, and have been told is a discontinue shaft.

    I want to validate this information, especially because the update on custom options have been done few weeks ago.

     Update 2014 custom option, for the FST company on KBS model for wedges

     

    KBS Hi-Rev (Wedges)

    Std/Up-charge

    R, S, X

    115, 125, 135

    2.0˚ - 1.8˚

    Mid

    KBS Tour Black Nickel (Wedges)

    Std/Up-charge

    R, S, X

    110, 120, 130

    2.1˚ - 1.9˚

    Low/Mid

     

     

    Is it true that the black nickel is discontinued, if yes what will be the equivalent ?

    I was at the PGA Merchandise Show  in January  and Kim Braly of KBS  said that he was unhappy with the quality of the paint so the company was going to discontinue. I have six different wedges with that shaft that are two years old. The black has faded severely .

    Bonjour Anthony,

    It's been more than a week a was waiting for an answer, i really appreciate. I already have 3 wedges with the black nickel, and they still look perfect after 1 year of play, but i can understand KBS. You can see that the paint is translucide and not very thick. I will see on there second year how it's goes.

    Just  a bit surprise that Team Titleist (Cameron, Cathi,...) didn't step up to inform. I don't want to say what to do for titleist, but if i were them, i will make a new update of the custom options list.

    I guess i will have to go with the standard KBS Tour on my new SM5.

    Merci Anthony have a good season.
