BOULDER, CO (June 6th, 2011)
Today, KBS™ is pleased to announce Nike Golf’s adoption of the brand-new KBS C-Taper shaft for custom orders available immediately through Nike dealers nationwide. Today’s announcement highlights growing demand for the KBS C-Taper shaft which was introduced by KBS only a few weeks ago (May 9th, 2011) among their premiere network of fitters worldwide. Following Nike Golf’s adoption of the C-Taper shaft, expect to see the KBS C-Taper shaft in Nike Golf custom fitting carts later this year.
Technology behind the KBS C-Taper is based on optimal shaft geometry, similar to the KBS Tour design, for improving club performance per the target player. Incorporating a unique calculation of taper rate and section balance, the KBS C-Taper promotes a lower trajectory and reduced spin without sacrificing the signature feel of KBS designs. Designed in conjunction with the KBS Tour series, the C-Taper fills a performance gap within the KBS product line targeting players with a quick swing tempo or needing a lower shot trajectory.
As explained by renowned shaft designer Kim Braly, “The new C-Taper shaft continues in the mold of the KBS Tour shaft incorporating an advanced design that complements the performance options of our catalog. KBS continues to introduce most advanced and impactful steel shaft series to ever hit the golf industry. This is verified by independent product testing, numerous top ranked Tour professionals, and gaining popularity in the golf industry.”
According to Rob Cheng, Director of Global Operations for KBS, “The announcement of Nike Golf’s custom department adopting the KBS C-Taper shaft is fantastic news for the KBS brand and recently introduced C-Taper shaft. It isn’t surprising however given the technology and performance benefits KBS shafts are providing golfers everywhere. The KBS brand continues to push the limits on shaft innovation and the merits of custom fitting.”
Since being introduced in 2008 worldwide, KBS Tour shafts continue blazing a trail on Tour trusted by numerous players within the world’s top 100 rankings. In 2011, KBS Tour shafts have already delivered 4 victories combined on the PGA and European Tours along with several close runners up finishes. The all-new C-Taper shaft is currently in play by multiple professionals within the world’s top 50 ranked players along with several more playing the signature KBS Tour shaft. Recent achievements for the KBS brand include winning the 2011 Players Championship and finishing runner up at The HP Byron Nelson. Expect more stories to come.
