The KBS PGI was designed by Director of R & D and master shaft maker Kim Braly and is built for ANYONE to be fit into a steel like PERFORMANCE graphite shaft that will provide the same optimal tight tolerances, dispersion and control as the KBS Tour Steel Shaft, just at a lighter weight and easier to swing shaft.
