3. Why would you like to test the new KBS GPS Graphite Putter Shaft?

I'm a big putter collector and tester in general. I currently have in-hand the Stroke Lab (3 different gen), MMT Putter 135, BGT Tour Stability, UST All-in, PXG M16 that I'm constantly rotating and testing. I also have equipment to remove-and-install at home which makes things easier to compare. I really liked the KBS Prototype HB shafts and the KBS TD Driver shafts, and I play KBS on my irons. Would love to see what this putter shaft looks like and how does it compare to the KBS Steel 120 shafts (which I also have in stock with my Cobra putters).

I have access to a local store if I really want to get into the technical details of what the rolling profile looks like too. Would love to try out this new KBS shaft.

Bonus point - I'm a big fan of bold color and super happy to see finally KBS is adding some color to putter style!

4. What putter would you install the shaft in?

Likely either a Scotty NP2 or a Bettinardi Queen B 12. Could also try on my Tri-Hot 5k if I can get the counterweight figured out.

 

5. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and future updates?

Yes of course. I write great reviews and will share on both GolfWRX and other social platforms.
