GolfWRX and KBS Golf Shafts are looking five of our members to test and review their brand new GPS Graphite Putter Shafts! This is KBS' first Graphite Putter high performance shaft, made from Premium Crafted Composite Materials & Fibers to ensure stability, and accuracy on the greens. Apply now for your chance to be a tester and pinpoint your putting with KBS GPS!

About the KBS GPS Graphite Putter Shaft
Designed as a low torque performance shaft that results in minimizing deflection bend commonly found in traditional steel putter shafts on longer putts, along with better distance control and ensuring the ball starts on its desired line. KBS GPS Graphite Putter Shaft incorporates a material that produces the unique and superior feel only felt in KBS Golf Shafts. Stiff without adding increased weight, graphite putter shafts can help the face from “turning” when a putt is struck toward the heel/toe. That will increase any putter’s moment of inertia (MOI) making your putting more controlled on mis-hits.
