The KBS C-TAPER LITE iron shaft combines proven KBS functionality advantages - smooth feel and piercing trajectory - . The business point and tail segments that are stiff create a mid- high trajectory and spin that is managed. Featuring a continuous taper layout and wall depth that is proportionate, the C-TAPER LITE optimizes energy transfer for maximum space. A mean of 5 yards because of this, increased space was seen during robot testing.
Actually. When was the last time? Perhaps you thought about what flex when you purchased irons you might want. Two years past? Five? Ten? KBS is an organization that continues to be thinking a lot and its new C-Taper Lite offering reveals that depth of idea. Critical thinking by KBS maybe a few more yards to your match and means precision.
Kim Braly is the man/ ality. The Project X shaft was developed by him. Twist and an increased launch angle can also be helpful.
When shafts were installed and analyzed, both groups had the exact same reaction - wow!
Low-handicappers used C-Taper Lite in S flex 1 -inch. Weight was 110 gs (C Taper is 120 grams). Reactions were uniform the shaft was smooth, never ballooned although found immediately, and did produce about five yards more. The higher twist assurance from KBS didn't appear to dissuade examiners from a performance and feel sanction.
Mid- handicappers used routine flex installed not tipped. Additional aerodynamic lift was provided by the additional twist and added stopping power on strategies - all positives. Most of the remarks revolved around feel that was astonishing. For a rotating shaft which is assumed to have a stiff point, this rotating shaft felt simple to swing. I believed that I had been liberated from a hefty, rebar- without feeling like I needed to visit graphite feeling steel golf shaft.
KBS C-Taper Lite
Continuous taper layout (thus the name C Taper name) and wall depth that is proportional a part of these shafts' secret sauce, but what's difficult to describe is precision and the feel of the C-Taper Lite. The ball will not proceed from its planned course, what is really remarkable about these shafts is that, once started. Really, quite precise. This is the situation for the low-handicap and mid-handicap groups. This does not mean that players couldn't draw or disappear, but straight shots acted like they were following a line that is painted. Those and Shots into the wind acted like they were military drones.
Satin shafts are not just elegant, but practical, no unpleasant reflections.
C-Taper Lite Spec.
Bottom line? You had have a high probability to help your game by giving an attempt to the KBS C-Taper Lite golf shafts.
After what looks like years of rumors and speculation, today KBS Shafts is announcing the release of the Tourv rotating shaft. In development with the only Phil Mickelson since early last year, some of you may have heard it referred to but KBS has formally named it the Tour-V. This shaft has won multiple times such as the 2013 Open Championship.
The Tour V and some unique characteristics that will definitely appeal to many golfers join the expanding family of KBS shafts. It is the touch KBS Tour feel, exceptional dispersion, and a lighter weight shaft which is said to offer lower spin. See the press release below for all the details.
KBS Declares the Tourv Shaft
Already established on the PGA Tour, the Tour V shaft offers a lightweight and low twist alternative to golfers
BOULDER, Colo. (September 30th, 2013) Today, KBS Golf Shafts declares an all-new steel shaft, the Tour-V. The KBS Tour-V has been the shaft that is sure such as the 2013 Open Championship, on professional tours for triumphs globally. Just like the popular Tour shaft in trajectory and feel, it features a lighter weight design. This new offering compliments the already popular line of KBS iron shafts.
In development on the PGA Tour since 2012, the Tour V enters the aftermarket established with the best players on the planet. While keeping the exceptional feel KBS has become renowned for the lower twist operation in a lighter weight is reached. The Tour V is obtainable in three flexes: R-100grams, S-110g, and X 120g.
The Tour V was selected by Callaway Golf as the iron, the Apex Pro of the stock shaft for their latest player. Accessible in all three flexes, the Apex Pro iron will be on sale Q1 2014. The Tourv shaft can be obtained for preorder immediately through authorized KBS merchants with orders transportation November 1st.
"We are extremely excited to add the Tourv shaft. It's been tested and perfected in the last year and a half, and really delivers on offering a tight dispersion shaft in a light weight package. Are spot on. Dispersion with the Tour V is some of the tightest it keeps our touch smooth feel and we've ever seen. Lighter weight is becoming more popular and this enables golfers to swing a little more easy. Our team is thrilled to bring this shaft to marketplace and see it as the stock shaft for Callaway's new player's iron." Said Kim Braly, Manager of at KBS and Tour Operations R&D Golf Shafts.
During robot and player testing, the KBS team has found tremendous results. The Tour V offers a functionality that is somewhat different: up to 20% tighter shot dispersion than other popular shafts on the PGA Tour, a mid trajectory and 10% lighter weight. This distinction in performance enables KBS to offer another excellent option to golfers to enhance their iron play.
In another important development for KBS, Callaway had determined to make the Tourv a stock steel shaft in the new Apex Pro iron which is available in January. This points to an essential outlook on shafts: Simply because touring professionals have success with various versions does not mean they can be used by average golfers successfully. Sometimes, the truth is, these shafts are just too powerful for typical players.
That is not the case here, keeps Braly, who said: "This shaft can be utilized by golfers of many different types of skills. Only try it and make up your own mind."
Lawrie, Harrington, Piercy and Mickelson are using a 125-g touring professional version of the shaft. Nevertheless, three other weights can be found for hobbyists: 120, 100 and 110 gs. All three perform in an identical way to the shaft that is touring professional, in accordance with Braly.
All the Tourv shafts feature a mid-trajectory flight design, and the principal subject in all three is tight dispersion. This dispersion is what KBS will be talking about in 2014, and the firm says the shaft can reach as much as a 20 percent tighter dispersion than rivals' shafts. It is a bold claim in a marketplace that features some really popular shafts whose effectiveness was demonstrated in recreational and professional competitors.
