KBS Tour Steel Shafts Make An Impact At Quail Hollow

May 6, 2010

Boulder, CO.

The PGA Tour venue at Quail Hollow attracts a large number of the upper-tiered world ranked players. The event last week was no exception.

The KBS Tour steel shafts were the trusted choice in full iron sets by 13 of these elite players at the event. Considering that the KBS Tour shafts were only introduced a little more than two years ago, it is obviously making an impact.

Since their introduction, KBS Tour shafts, manufactured by FST, have taken steel shaft performance to new levels. A growing number of tour players have already switched to the new steel shafts. KBS Tour steel shafts, in full iron sets, have been used to win 22 professional tour titles worldwide and have accumulated 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 tangible performance benefits are gained.

“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 proportional distribution 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.
