KBS has expanded its range of high-performance graphite shafts with the launch of the new Players Graphite Hybrid shaft to provide more golfers with easier shooting options and better spin performance.
Aimed at players of all abilities, the new shaft also incorporates graphite wrap technology that eliminates variance for greater consistency and shot control, while providing the same optimal tolerances and dispersion as the leading KBS Tour Steel shafts at a lighter weight.
Based on the proven Players Graphite Iron platform and family, KBS sees the PGH shaft as offering tangible performance benefits and playability features beyond the global standard for traditional hybrid graphite shafts.
“The new graphite wrap technology makes it easier for every type of golfer to swing and improve their performance,” said KBS Director of R&D and lead shaft maker Kim Braley. “During our extensive testing of the PGH shaft, we found that adding characteristics such as a lower center of gravity creates a swing weight that results in a much easier stroke in a hybrid putter.
Graphite shafts are becoming increasingly popular and are no longer only associated with older players with slower swing speeds. Graphite has been used consistently in drivers by the world’s best golfers for over two decades, and we see golfers using graphite shafts in their irons, wedges and putters as well as Hybrids are to great effect. So, it makes sense for the technology to move through the bag and offer a similar column for more players to enjoy,” Braley added.
The new KBS PGH shaft is offered in .370 parallel tip options and comes in weights ranging in 10-gram increments from 45 to 105 grams with coincident flex patterns. KBS’ offered 7th Graphite Column has been added to a list that now includes TD Driver/Wood; the hybrid graphite prototype; Three iron options that each suit a different type of player – the Graphite Iron (PGI) player; Tourist Graphite Iron (TGI); Max Graphite Iron Shaft; and the Graphite Paddle Shaft (GPS), which was launched earlier this year to worldwide recognition.
