C-TAPER GAINING TRACTION ON TOUR

KBS is proud to announce the KBS C-Taper shaft is fast proving it's performance value on the PGA Tour as evidenced by some early movers into the brand-new shaft design. Despite being introduced earlier this year, the KBS C-Taper shaft is already in play by one of golf's premiere players, ranked 9th in the world (www.OWGR.com), along with a handful of excellent touring professionals. 

At the Zurich Classic of New Orleans last week, KBS shafts were in play by over 16 players marking a substantial increase from the same event last year. Keeping perspective that touring professionals rarely change into equipment from non-sponsors, the KBS Team is excited for the surge in interest among the best playing professionals in the world. 

In light of the KBS C-Taper shafts traction on professional tours, shaft designer Kim Braly mentioned, "The KBS C-Taper shaft is the perfect complement for our KBS Tour shaft allowing our team a precise alternative for fitting a wider range of players. The premise of the KBS Tour series has always been to combine new technology with a concise catalog of fitting options.The C-Taper fits that mold exactly offering a performance alternative while supporting the KBS Tour shafts position in the market."
