I've had one in my Arizona bag for a couple years, its a really good head. A bit tinny sounding but gets out there , hit a couple in the 270 range today....was fighting a bit of a slice this round and switched back and forth with my g400. Fw hit werent great but managed a 78 so didnt get in too much trouble....no lost balls

Just reshafted my Matby DBM irons with the Nippon N.S. Pro 1040GH shafts I bought from Rock Bottom golf a couple of years ago. I am glad I did. I pulled the FST 115 Shafts out yesterday and had 3 bent tips in the set. I will give them a go this weekend. They sure look nice. I threw them on my swing weight scale and they all came out within a 1.5 differential except the PW and it was 2 off the lightest club. I didn't even bother adjusting.

If you have a steep angle of attack and take big divots and do lots of range mat hitting steel shafts can get bent just above the hosel. Not sure if this is the case here but has happened to me with some TT shafts in my younger beasty days.

Bent about the top of the hosel.

I have had it happen a few times. I am going to blame it on our rock hard AZ fairways. I tend to be a picker and not a gauger. They were bent where you mentioned so I probably did it on one of my numerous bad swings.

Hasn't this been a known thing with FST shafts? And the big brother KBS too?

I have been playing FST 115 for many years and take huge divots and I have yet to bend one shaft. One thing I do not do is hit off of range mats.

Mattyv

The only orher time I had it happen with an FST shaft was with my 9 iron a couple of years ago. The bend delofted my 9 iron and I was hitting it 160 yards. That was what prompted me to check it at the time. That is typically my 145-150 club. I am going to check the ones I pulled to see which ones bent this time.

If you are carrying a 9i 42* 145+ yards that to me means you are higher club head speed with a lot of shaft flex. I wouldn't be surprised you are having bent tip issues especially if a hard down move and a divot taker. Though Apollo Hump's a noted stiff tip shaft with a beefier tip were noted to have issues.

Mattyv

Well shit. I just did a roll test on the FST shafts I pulled out. Every single one of the 4-pw had a bit of a bend! Some more pronounced than others. How about $12 shipped for the set.😁
