– a Bold New Offering Designed for Elite Ball Strikers Who Demand Control, Stability, – a bold new offering designed for elite ball strikers who demand control, stability, and penetrating flight off the tee.
Developed through extensive testing across all professional Tours, the KBS TGBlack delivers a unique blend of explosive energy transfer and tight dispersion. Its high modulus graphite construction and low-resin profile create a shaft that’s both responsive and remarkably stable at high swing speeds.
Key Design Attributes:
- High Modulus Graphite: Ensures consistent energy transfer and tour-level feedback.
- Low Resin, Low Spin Profile: Ideal for players chasing a penetrating trajectory with reduced spin.
- Stable Tip Section: Promotes accuracy and control, especially in windy conditions.
- Smooth EI Curve: Maintains feel and responsiveness without sacrificing power.
“The feedback from Tour players has been incredible and we’re delighted to finally bring the TGBlack to golfers around the world,” said KBS Director of R&D and Master shaft-maker Kim Braly. “Testing saw consistent spin numbers when comparing to other shaft brands and the distance players were seeing were off the charts. We’re confident Tour players will put this in the bag next season,” he added.
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 (40–80g). Designed for elite ball strikers, it enables precise loading and unloading for improved consistency and tighter shot dispersion.

- R: 96mph and below
