\"\"<\/p>\n

February 3, 2026 – <\/strong>KBS<\/strong>, the pioneering golf shaft brand that offers a high-performance shaft for every club in the bag, has launched the brand-new KBS TGBlack <\/em><\/strong>driver shaft – a bold new offering designed for elite ball strikers who demand control, stability, and penetrating flight off the tee.<\/p>\n

Developed through extensive testing across all professional Tours, the KBS TGBlack<\/em> delivers a unique blend of explosive energy transfer and tight dispersion. Its high modulus graphite construction and low-resin profile create a shaft that\u2019s both responsive and remarkably stable at high swing speeds.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Design Attributes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • High Modulus Graphite<\/strong>: Ensures consistent energy transfer and tour-level feedback.<\/li>\n
  • Low Resin, Low Spin Profile<\/strong>: Ideal for players chasing a penetrating trajectory with reduced spin.<\/li>\n
  • Stable Tip Section<\/strong>: Promotes accuracy and control, especially in windy conditions.<\/li>\n
  • Smooth EI Curve<\/strong>: Maintains feel and responsiveness without sacrificing power.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    \u201cThe feedback from Tour players has been incredible and we\u2019re delighted to finally bring the TGBlack to golfers around the world,\u201d<\/em> said KBS Director of R&D and Master shaft-maker Kim Braly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \u201cTesting saw <\/em>consistent spin numbers when comparing to other shaft brands and the distance players were seeing were off the charts. We\u2019re confident Tour players will put this in the bag next season,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Engineered to combine the responsive feel of steel with the advanced benefits of premium graphite, the TGBlack offers a consistent profile across multiple flexes and weights (40\u201380g). Designed for elite ball strikers, it enables precise loading and unloading for improved consistency and tighter shot dispersion.<\/p>\n

    Offered in .338\u201d Tip Diameter and 46\u201d length, the new KBS TGBlack<\/em> will be available in five weight classes (40g \u2013 80g) and five flex options to suit various player swing speeds:<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    • R: 96mph and below<\/li>\n
    • S: 96 \u2013 104<\/li>\n
    • X: 104 \u2013 112<\/li>\n
    • TX: 112 \u2013 120<\/li>\n
    • TXX: 120 and above<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The KBS TGBlack<\/em> joins the \u2018Tour\u2019 lineup of Graphite shafts, which also includes the TD Graphite<\/em><\/strong> wood shaft; the Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype<\/em><\/strong>; and the acclaimed TGI <\/em><\/strong>\u2013 Tour Graphite Iron<\/strong><\/em> shaft.<\/p>\n

      Designed to fit into every OEM head on the market, the KBS TGBlack <\/em>shaft is available from next month at authorised KBS dealers and custom fitting centres. Prices may vary.<\/p>\n

      Played by more than 300 Tour players worldwide and partnered with all the leading golf club manufacturers, KBS offers 28 different shaft options across every club in the bag. This includes 10 iron variations, four dedicated wedge and putter shafts, plus Graphite shafts across wood, hybrid and iron options in different weights and flexes.<\/p>\n
