BOULDER, CO (MARCH 19th, 2012)
KBS had an exciting weekend at the Transitions Championship with shafts from the signature TOUR Series trusted by two second place finishers following a four way playoff on Sunday. Either player finished T2 trusting the low-mid piercing trajectory of the KBS TOUR shaft with one electing for the white pearl finish available exclusively in the all-new Custom Series. In total, KBS had five players round out the top 20 at the Transitions Championship. This week’s double runner up marks the 4th runner up finish in 2012 in addition to two wins on the PGA TOUR.
KBS INSIDE-THE-ROPES:
– T2 FINISHER: KBS TOUR™ shafts (R+ flex | 3-PW)
– T2 FINISHER: KBS TOUR™ shafts with White Pearl Finish (X-Flex | 3-LW)
– KBS STATS: T1 in GIR | 4th in GIR | T5 in GIR | T2 Birdies
The KBS TOUR Series incorporates a new and advanced mix of shaft technologies that collectively improve performance through enhanced energy transfer while maintaining a firm total shaft flex. This unique design mix ensures players achieve the optimal blend of club feel and shot control while maximizing total distance.

This logical progression allows for a simple yet versatile fitting solution for a wide range of golfers, including many of the best players in the world.
