KBS Launches New KBS C-Taper with .370" Tip

KBS announced the release of a parallel tip (.370") KBS C-TAPER shaft allowing for more versatility within that product line for fitters and club builders everywhere. The all-new parallel tip C-TAPER shaft will be made available in R, S and X-flex this week via top club fitters in the golf equipment aftermarket. Encompassing a similar design as the original taper tip (.355") version, the KBS C-TAPER parallel offers club builders a versatile addition to the product line designed in partnership with leading club builders across the industry.

The KBS C-TAPER shaft incorporates a signature blend of manufacturing and advanced designs that are present throughout the KBS TOUR Shaft series. Designed to integrate neatly within the complete catalog, the KBS C-TAPER shaft design focuses on lowering launch and reducing ball spin for players with a quick tempo or high shot trajectory. Incorporating feedback from the PGA TOUR and unique KBS technology, the KBS C-TAPER shaft is proved in independent robot testing to reduce ball spin by 5%, lower trajectory by 5%, and increase distance by 5% (up to 12 yards total) versus the leading competitor.

Kim Braly, Director of R&D / TOUR Operations, spoke today saying, "The release of the parallel tip KBS C-TAPER offers club builders new versatility with one of our signature products. Considering the time and effort that went into orchestrating a successful C-TAPER launch, we're excited to complete this product line with a parallel tip option that matches perfect to our taper tip model."

Since the original KBS C-TAPER shaft was introduced in 2011 it's blazes a trail across the industry trusted by multiple top players on TOUR and currently available in fitting carts industry-wide. Today, over 100 tour players across the PGA, Nationwide, and European Tour currently trust KBS shaft designs. Recent achievements for the KBS brand include winning the 2012 WGC-Cadillac Championship and 2011 Players Championship, WGC-Bridgestone, and BMW Championship. Expect more stories to come.
