Callaway Golf adds KBS Tour Steel Shafts as Custom Option

KBS Tour™ steel golf shafts, introduced less than two years ago, have already been adopted by many top-tiered golf professionals and have been racking up multiple PGA Tour wins. Golf consumers are following the trend on tour and many hope to play with the new shafts in their personal clubs. Responding to this, premium club manufacturer, Callaway Golf Company, has recently announced that the new KBS Tour shafts are now available as a custom option.

Femco Steel Technology (FST) developed and manufactures the KBS Tour shafts. Rob Cheng, Global Sales Director for the company stated, “It is very exciting and gratifying to have our new KBS Tour shafts offered by the prestigious manufacturer, Callaway Golf.”

The players who have switched have been improving their world ranking and creating a lot of interest among their peers.
