KBS Tour Steel Shafts Post Pacific Wins

December 17, 2008

BOULDER, COLORADO – KBS steel iron shafts, featuring new Moment of Inertia Technology, are winning across the Pacific Ocean. The Asian Tour is a hot bed of competition for international golf, and in the past few weeks, KBS Tour shafts by FEMCO Steel Technology (FST) of Boulder, Colo., have won the Barclay’s Singapore Open in Shanghai, China; delivered the Asian Tour’s Order of Merit crown; and scored a victory in the Nippon Series JT Cup in Japan.

Earlier this year, the champions of the BMW Asian Open and Sega Sammy Cup in Japan also played KBS Tour steel shafts in their irons.

“We are very excited with another pro tour victory so soon after introducing the KBS line of steel shafts,” says Braly, whose steel designs are currently being played by many of the Top 10 players in the world. “Placing the clubhead at the correct position at impact is crucial for accurate shots and explosive distance, and shaft performance is the key. The KBS steel shafts apply MOI analysis that helps to achieve new levels of performance and feel.”

“KBS shafts have produced tremendous results right out of the gate and I think it is primarily because of our unique approach to engineering,” says Kim Braly, director of product development for KBS shafts. “To optimize clubhead performance at the time of impact, a shaft’s performance is absolutely critical. Our KBS steel shafts achieve a higher degree of performance and feel through advanced MOI analysis and the results are speaking for themselves on pro tours around the world.”

Engineered for better players, the KBS Tour shaft features a one-of-a-kind design, explains Braly. By reducing the mass and radius of each step in equal proportions along the shaft’s center line, the KBS Tour shaft delivers optimum stability resulting in efficient energy transfer from the player’s hands to the clubhead.

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.
