BOULDER, Colo. — One of the greatest golf equipment success stories of the year, FEMCO Steel Technology is proud to announce that club manufacturer PING is now offering the company’s premium KBS Tour steel shafts, featuring new Moment of Inertia Technology, through the PING Wrx custom-fitting department.
 
“PING is well-known as an innovator and a trendsetter among club manufacturers, and we are extremely pleased that PING is offering the KBS Tour steel shafts as a custom option for their irons,” says Larry Bodle, director of marketing for FST shafts. “KBS steel shafts have made an incredible impact within their first year on the pro tours, and I know that PING customers will appreciate the feel and playability of these uniquely engineered steel shafts.”
 
Premium KBS steel shafts achieve new levels of performance and feel through innovative MOI analysis and the new design reduces shaft ‘interference’ during the swing which means greater performance with every shot. The KBS Tour shafts feature a one-of-a-kind design and are engineered for better players. By reducing the mass and radius of each step in equal proportions along the shaft’s center line, the KBS Tour shaft delivers optimum stability resulting in efficient energy transfer from the player’s hands to the clubhead.

PING Wrx is a unique custom fitting program provided by PING, one of the world’s most respected golf club manufacturer with products available in more than 70 countries. Offering a range of popular after-market shafts and grips for PING clubs, PING Wrx also offers custom iron and wedge grinds, designed to help better players get maximum performance from their clubs.

The KBS Tour steel shafts incorporate FST’s high-quality precision manufacturing processes, such as: Exclusive ‘Oil-Quench’ tempering method which produces shafts that are arrow-straight from butt to tip; Tapered tip construction to provide a solid metal-to-metal bond in the hosel and tour-proven feel; higher-than-traditional center of gravity construction to allow for more mass in the clubhead; and matching shaft weight and frequency to strict tolerances to ensure peak playing performance and guaranteed repeatability.

FST’s innovative steel shafts are growing in popularity with golfers and clubmakers around the world. For more information about FST, FST products, and the full KBS line of premium shafts, visit www.fstshafts.com and www.KBSshafts.com.
