KBS Tour steel shaft

The KBS Tour is one of the most well-known and widely used iron shafts on the market. Designed by legendary shaft designer Kim Braly, it is a signature shaft that is popular with both tour pros and skilled amateurs. It is known for its unique feel, control and versatility.

Main features

• Trajectory and Spin: KBS Tour is designed to provide a mid-trajectory with a low to mid-spin. This combination is ideal for players who want a penetrating flight that holds its line well, even in wind, while providing enough height for the ball to land softly on the green.

• Feel and Stability: The shaft has a smooth and responsive feel that many players describe as "soft" or "smooth," but without compromising stability. It is designed to maximize energy transfer from the hands to the clubhead, providing superior stroke control and clear feedback at impact.

• Optimized for Workability: The KBS Tour is great for players who want to be able to "shape" their shots, meaning they can hit deliberate draws, fades and control the height of the ball trajectory. Its design with a gradual flex profile gives the player control of the clubhead throughout the swing.

Technical details

• Material: The handle is made of steel and is known for its high quality and durability.

• Weight: KBS Tour is available in different weights depending on flex. Common weights are 110g (Regular), 120g (Stiff) and 130g (X-Stiff). This wide weight profile allows the shaft to be adapted to different swing speeds.

• Kickpoint: The shaft has a medium kickpoint, which contributes to the medium ball trajectory.

• Comparison to other shafts: Compared to other KBS shafts, such as the KBS C-Taper (lower trajectory and spin) or the KBS Tour V (lighter weight and lower spin), the KBS Tour is the most balanced and neutral choice. It is the shaft that started the entire KBS line and is considered the company's flagship.

The KBS Tour is an excellent choice for golfers who have a consistent swing and want a premium shaft that offers exceptional feel, control and ball manipulation. It is best suited for players with medium to high swing speeds.
