BOULDER, Colo. — Golf’s steel shaft specialists, FEMCO Steel Technology (FST) announces that its new KB Steel Shaft brand will be showcased at the 2008 PGA Merchandise Show (booth #2580) held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., on January 17 through 19, 2008.
FST recently introduced its KB Series steel shafts, a premium line of steel golf shafts which features advanced Moment of Inertia technology. The KB line includes three models — KB Tour, KB V-Launch and KB Hybrid — engineered by industry-acclaimed steel shaft designer, Kim Braly, and all three models will be on display during the show and available for test-hitting at the special Demo Day event on Wednesday, January 16, 2008.
"Golfers have been waiting for years to see a tangible difference in steel shaft design, so we’re very excited to demonstrate the amazing performance and feel benefits of the new KB Series steel shafts at the PGA Show," says Larry Bodle, director of marketing for FST Shafts. "FST remains exclusively dedicated to the design, development and distribution of high-quality steel golf shafts, and we’ve planned some special promotions throughout the show to differentiate ourselves and our products."
Designed by Kim Braly, whose steel shaft designs are played by some of the world’s top ranked golfers, the new KB steel shafts are unlike anything on the market today. The design of the KB line goes beyond the industry’s usual parameters of club design by incorporating research from a variety of tubular structures that endure different stresses or loads and by applying MOI analysis. As a result, KB steel shafts play an essential role in placing the clubhead in the correct position at impact and respond effectively to a players’ hands, especially just prior to impact.
In addition, KB steel shafts include FST’s high-quality precision manufacturing processes, such as: Exclusive "Oil-Quench’ tempering method which produces shafts that are arrow-straight from butt to tip; and matching shaft weight and frequency to the strictest tolerances to ensure peak playing performance and guaranteed repeatability.
FST is committed to continual improvement and development of high-quality and high-performance golf shafts. FST’s innovative steel shafts are growing in popularity with golfers and clubmakers all over the globe. For more information about FST and FST products, visit www.fstshafts.com.
