Boulder, CO. FST congratulates the winner of the WGC-CA for an outstanding victory on Sunday at Doral. Trusting the KBS Tour™ steel shafts in all irons and wedges, the winner’s solid iron play and superb putting on the final holes accelerated him to a four stroke lead at the finish.
KBS Tour™ shafts, manufactured by FST (Femco Steel Technology), have taken steel shaft performance to new levels since their introducÌâåÂtion to the PGA TOUR in 2008. Many players have taken notice of the new steel shaft. In fact, more than 30 top tier tour players have already switched to the KBS Tour shafts.
Since 2008, full sets of KBS Tour shafts have been used to win 20 professional tour titles worldwide and multiple top 10 finishes.
These tour successes speak volumes about KBS performance because golf’s top players, like most skilled tradesmen, do not change the tools of their trade unless there are tangible performance benefits.
“We stepped outside normal design parameters to develop the KBS Tour shaft,” says KBS shaft designer, Kim Braly. “We measured and were able to formulate the optimal change in stiffness along the shaft’s length-section by section-and create a uniquely proporÌâåÂtional distribuÌâåÂtion of stiffness. A smooth transfer of energy along the centerline of the shaft was achieved, which translates to a softer ‘feel’ at impact and a penetrating ball flight.”
Expect to see more news about KBS shafts from all of the professional golf tours worldwide.
