[*]Any other notes you’d like provide.: I have not been playing as much as I used to and unfortunately not as strong (7.0 are a bit much). I would like to go to a softer flex and since I play 3/4 inch overlength the lighter weight might bring down my swingweights as well. Overall, these sound like they might be a good fit for me. Thanks for the opportunity!

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!
