KBS FIT SYSTEM At KBS, our golf shafts are designed to enhance player performance. KBS offers five unique shaft options in several weights and flexes to achieve a precise fit for every golfer. While KBS always recommends visiting a fitter to achieve the most accurate results, the following questions serve as a starting point to accurately guide players to the ideal KBS shaft. 1. What is your average 6 iron distance? a. This is a great starting point when getting fit. Players who hit the ball further can usually be fit into a stiffer shaft. 2. What is your swing speed? a. Faster swing speeds can go into stiffer, heavier shafts. Lighter shafts can help players increase their swing speed. 3. What is your desired trajectory? a. The KBS shaft lineup features shafts designed for lower, mid and higher launch. 4. How long is your swing? a. Shorter swings (achieving vertical on the back swing) can fit into a slightly stiffer shaft. Longer swings (past parallel) can use more flexible shafts. 5. What is your tempo? a. Players with quick tempos can benefit from a stiffer shaft. The more flexible shafts can help smoother tempo players. 6. What shaft weight do you prefer? a. KBS offers different shaft weight options for players preferring a certain feel and weight. 7. Performance options for Wedge and Hybrid? a. KBS offers the HYBRID shaft for players requiring a certain feel and weight. The WEDGE and HI-REV shafts are available for players looking for various spin rates.
