FST Corp. (Nasdaq: KBSX), a prominent manufacturer of steel and graphite golf shafts, has announced the release of a new graphite shaft designed for greater distance and accuracy, particularly for fairway woods. These clubs are often used for longer shots.
The new shaft, named KBS PGW (Player’s Graphite Wood), is available in five different weight options at authorized KBS dealers and custom fitting centers across the country, according to FST. The shaft’s design is credited to Kim Braly, KBS director of R&D.
Braly stated that KBS PGW is specifically engineered to help golfers with slower swing speeds achieve a higher launch angle and improved spin control, leading to longer and more accurate shots.
FST CEO David Chuang commented, “KBS PGW reflects our ongoing commitment to providing golfers with top-performing equipment. By improving launch angle and accuracy in woods, we believe this shaft has the potential to appeal to a broad spectrum of golfers.”
The company anticipates revenues from the new product to range from $1.0 to $1.5 million in its initial year.
