About the KBS PGH Players Graphite Hybrid Shaft 

KBS enlisted its Research & Development Team to create a lighter weight(s) Graphite Hybrid than the KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype, and adding in characteristics such as Lower CG, thus creating a swing weight that creates an easier to strike Hybrid shaft that compliments your game. Offered in Parallel Tip options - the new KBS PGH comes in weights ranging in 10-gram increments from 45 to 105 grams with coinciding differentiating flex patterns.

 

“The new graphite wrap technology incorporated in the KBS PGH shaft eliminates the variables for more consistency and shot control, while providing the same optimal tight tolerances and dispersion as the pioneering KBS Tour Steel shafts have done in the past in a lighter weight that makes it easier to swing,” said Director of R&D and master shaft-maker Kim Braly.

4. What weight and flex PGH Shaft do you want to test?

Want to try the 95 S+ on the UT 21 I have

5. Why would you like to test the new KBS PGH Players Graphite Hybrid Shaft

I loved the feeling with the two KBS Prototypes I have. Yet for some reason (could very much be mental) that the 95x feels too stout, and 95s feels too soft. It develops to a point that I gave up that club and went back to my hybrid lately.

Seeing that now we finally have a 95 S+ option, I would love to check them out and see if it can help me to put the club back into my bag (I used to play KBS C-Taper S+ 125 and completely love the S+ concept from KBS)
