(4) TESTERS WANTED: KBS Graphite Tour Prototype Hybrid Shafts

When golfers get custom fit, it's usually the driver and irons that get all the love. We'll try an endless array of high-end driver and  iron shafts in an effort to find golfing Nirvana: ideal launch, spin, carry, dispersion and distance.

And by the time you've dialed all that in, you're too tired to even think about hybrid shafts. More often than not, you wind up with either the OEM's stock offering or a shaft that matches whatever went into your driver or fairway wood.

Well, the guy who has designed the fastest growing hybrid shaft on Tour doesn't think that's right.

TESTERS WANTED!

There's no doubting Kim Braly's bona fides when it comes to golf shafts. Braly's KBS steel shafts are among the most popular on Tour and among fitters and OEM's. And now Braly and KBS are introducing the company's first graphite shaft, the KBS TOUR Graphite Hybrid Prototype.

As the name suggests, it's a hybrid-specific shaft. "Our competitors are used to making wood shafts," says Braly. "And they view (the hybrid) as a wood. We wanted to develop a shaft that would react exactly the way our iron shafts would."

KBS says the TOUR Prototype has that signature KBS feel, and creates a seamless transition from your irons to your hybrids. That, of course, is what they say. At MyGolfSpy, we're more interested in what you say. And we need 4 of you to try these shafts out and have your say.

(Please note this review opportunity is for shafts only - you'll be responsible for grip and installation)
