[*]Any other notes you’d like provide -- [b]I've actually been looking to replace my current iron shafts because I believe I was fit incorrectly as my shots currently skyrocket into the air even though I am not picking or de-lofting on impact. Even with solid contact and my desired divot, I believe the Dynalite XP shaft is really causing my (too) high trajectory. However, I truly appreciate the lighter weight of the Dynalite shaft, and believe it helps me with an increased swing speed while maintaining good control throughout the swing. It sounds like these new KBS shafts would be a potentially great fit for me.[/b]

KBS just gave our team the heads up they have a new performance shaft design coming to market SOON and they are looking for a small batch of GolfWRX members to [b]TEST & REVIEW[/b] the shafts out in the public forum! KBS also mentioned they would help the selected members get their new shafts built up for [b]FREE![/b]

We’ll select the testers next week on 5/28 so make sure to post your information using this thread for a chance to be one of the lucky few…

Here are the details we’ve been given thus far:[list]
[*]LUCKY TESTERS
[*]SETS SHIP NEXT WEEK
[*]KBS WILL HELP TESTERS GET THEIR [i]NEW[/i] SHAFTS BUILT FOR FREE
[*]KBS rep’s mentioned the new performance shaft is a lighter weight construction capable of producing a 5% increase in distance over competitor models. However, that’s all they are saying at this point!
