The KBS TOUR Series incorporates a new and advanced mix of shaft technologies improve performance by maximizing energy transfer to the clubhead while maintaining a firm shaft flex. This unique combination ensures players achieve an optimal mix of feel and shot control while maximizing their total distance. As a catalog, the KBS TOUR Series consists of three performance options delivering a balanced progression in trajectory, ball spin, shaft weight and flex. 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.
As explained by renowned shaft designer Kim Braly, “The KBS TOUR Series incorporates state-of-the-art technology that builds on a rich history working with top tour players as well as leading golf club manufacturers. In four years, we’ve garnered many of the best players on the PGA Tour, some of the most-renowned golfers on the planet, and well over 100 TOUR professionals between the major tours. I couldn’t be more proud of the strides we’re making.”
Since their introduction worldwide in 2008, KBS Shafts continue to achieve unprecedented success trusted by 10 of the top 50 golfers worldwide and over 100 total tour players. To date, KBS shafts have been used in 52 wins worldwide including a number of signature tournaments on the PGA Tour.
