BOULDER, Colo. – Featuring new Moment of Inertia Technology, premium KBS Tour steel shafts won their second straight tour event in two weeks, earning a handy victory at the Open de España on the European Tour. This weekend’s champion played Srixon 701 irons custom-fit with KBS steel shafts and shot 68-70-68-67 for a 15-under par 273.
In the two events played since switching to KBS steel shafts, the Irish-born champion has finished in the Top 10 at the BMW Asian Open and won first-place at the Open de España.
“FST congratulates this year’s winner at the Open de España, as well as his superlative success with KBS Tour shafts,” says industry-acclaimed steel shaft designer Kim Braly, whose steel shaft designs are currently being played by many of the Top 10 players in the world. “KBS shaft technology incorporates comprehensive MOI analysis which helps hand-to-clubhead response for consistent accuracy and feel.”
Manufactured by golf’s steel shaft specialists, FEMCO Steel Technology (FST), the premium KBS Tour steel shafts provide excellent stability and smooth energy transfer at impact. Braly explains the KBS Tour shaft is engineered for better players and features a one-of-a-kind design. The shaft’s mass and step radius have been reduced in equal proportions along the shaft’s center line, a design element which gives optimum stability and provides efficient energy transfer to the clubhead.
The KBS Tour steel shafts incorporate 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; Tapered tip construction to provide a solid metal-to-metal bond in the hosel and tour-proven feel; higher-than-traditional center of gravity construction to allow for more mass in the clubhead; and matching shaft weight and frequency to strict 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.
