Boulder, Colorado – Femco Steel Technology (FST), the company that developed and manufactures the KBS Tour Steel shafts, announced another win last weekend at the Valero Texas Open.
The champion, trusting the KBS Tour™ steel shafts in all of his irons, performed exceptionally well throughout the weather plagued event, including a 36 hole Sunday, with solid iron play and precision putting to secure the win. Notably, KBS Tour shafts were also used by the T3 player who followed a third round 69 with a 68.
Since their introducÌâåÂtion to the PGA TOUR in 2008, KBS Tour shafts 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 23 professional tour titles worldwide and multiple top 10 finishes.
Professional golf’s top players, rarely change iron shafts, essentially the tools of their trade, unless there are tangible performance benefits. The tour successes for the players who have switched to KBS Tour iron shafts speak volumes about KBS performance.
“We stepped outside normal design parameters to develop the KBS Tour shaft,” says KBS shaft designer, Kim Braly. “We were able to formulate a preferred change in stiffness-section by section-and created a uniquely proporÌâåÂtional distribuÌâåÂtion of stiffness along the shaft’s length. A smoother transfer of energy was achieved, which translates to a softer ‘feel’ at the tip and a penetrating ball flight.”
Expect to see more news about KBS shafts from all of the professional golf tours worldwide.
