It is available in 10 gram increments with a 0.370 tip that can be trimmed to increase stiffness.

The parallel KBS Tour Graphite Iron, TGI shafts released early in 2018. The constant weight, taper tip version first released in July 2018. In 2023 60, 70 and 80 gram constant weigh tapers were added. In this video, shot in January at the PGA Merchandise Show, Kim Braly talks about the Tour Graphite iron Shafts.

If you do not fully understand the difference between parallel and constant weight tapers please read the Technical article “Parallel vs Constant Weight Iron Shafts“, Lets move on to look at the measurements of the KBS TGI tapers.

KBS PGI Iron Shaft Review


KBS tells us that the Players Graphite Iron shaft was designed we be a replacement for steel shafts. I see the EI Profile as similar to the lighter weight models of the C-taper Lite.

TPT Nitro Driver Shaft Review

I have a long history with TPT. i visited their headquarters in 2018 when they first entered the golf shaft business. My first review of the TPT Driver shafts was published in 2018. There was a restructuring of management and I lost touch until earlier this year. The USA distributor is J&S Golf. Their re-emergence into the USA market comes with a tour win by Jason Day at the AT&T Byron Nelson in 2023 playing the Nitro 15 Lo in his driver. Club fitters interested in carrying TPT shafts can send an email to info@TPTgolfshaftsusa.com.

The TPT Nitro new driver shaft comes in two models, Hi and Lo and I measured all versions of both models.
