DESCRIPTIONDesigned for standard players, the KBS Tour 90 shaft incorporates design concepts borrowed

from the KBS Tour within a lightweight construction. Incorporating a player’s design of firm cross-

sectional features with less material, the KBS Tour 90 is primed for players needing to pick up swing

speed or generate a higher trajectory. Pairing this design philosophy with more action at the tip, the

KBS Tour 90 will maximize your energy release with optimal ball spin and enhanced shot accuracy.

DISTANCE AND CONTROlThe KBS Hybrid shaft is a logical selection for players looking to improve their hybrid performance versus commonly used graphite. By selecting steel, players eliminate the multi-material design and competing properties found in graphite allowing more consistency shot to shot. Designed to enhance ball dispersion and shot control, the KBS Hybrid maximizes energy transfer with our signature MOI-based design. Switch to steel and benefit tremendously from making the right choice.

DISTANCE AND CONTROlThe KBS Wedge shaft, offered in our exclusive black nickel finish, incorporates the same design as the KBS Tour optimized for short distance and partial shots. Incorporating a stiff tip construction for piercing ball flight and tight dispersion, the KBS Wedge will blend seamlessly with the feel of your KBS Tour shafts while tightening dispersion for proximity shots.
