Boulder, CO. KBS Tour congratulates the winner of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, after a rain delay, for his second consecutive victory. The champion, trusting the KBS Tour™ steel shafts in all irons and wedges, used solid iron play and steel-nerved putting to secure his two stroke lead for the win.
Since their introducÌâåÂtion to the PGA TOUR in 2008, KBS Tour shafts, manufactured by FST (Femco Steel Technology), have taken steel shaft performance to new levels. More than 32 top-tier tour players have already switched to the new steel shafts. KBS Tour steel shafts, in full sets, have been used to win 22 professional tour titles worldwide and multiple top 10 finishes.
The 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 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.
