R&D
Over 35 years of experience delivering the highest level of quality possible.
KBSKBS is the shaft that we recommend to golfers looking for a value priced, high performing shaft. They produce a variety of shafts with different flex patterns, flexes, weight ranges and flight patterns.
Through testing, we have determined that KBS shafts product consistent results. KBS was first introduced to the golf industry in 2008. Their lead designer, Kim Braly, designs and produces shafts with performance features to fit every type of golfer. KBS crafts their golf shafts with an advanced butt which facilitates stability through contact, results in improved accuracy and control. The shafts also features a higher center of gravity, 52% balance point which allows for more mass in the center of the clubhead without altering swing weight. |
ShimadaShimada is the shaft that we recommend to golfers looking for the highest quality and best performing steel iron shafts.
Through testing, we have determined that Shimada produces the most consistent steel shafts on the market. Shimada is the first shaft manufacturer in Japan, and have been producing “made in Japan” steel shafts since 1930. Their sole focus is to develop and produce the highest quality steel shafts. They use a Counter Balance Design Concept in their shafts. This shifts the balance point to the butt area. This helps players keep a steady and consistent swing plane and accelerate the club head at impact. Shimada’s steel shafts are extruded from a metal billet with their unique drawing processing method. This differs from the ordinary processing method of other steel shafts processed from a metal plate. This Seamless Processing Method enables them to produce spine free shafts with excellent circularity. |
AldilaAldila is the shaft that we put in most of our hybrids, fairway metals, and drivers. They were one of the first companies to produce and focused on graphite shafts. Aldila produces a variety of shafts with different flex patterns, flexes, weight ranges and flight patterns.
Through testing, we have determined that Aldila produces consistent shafts and also offer a variety of options. Aldila shafts are crafteduse their patented Micro Laminate Technology – layering ultra-thin, aerospace grade carbon fibers. They utilize up to twice as many piles other shaft companies, this produces a stable and high performing graphite shaft. Aldila’s S-core Technology (Stabilized Core) is another difference. This patented technology utilizes a high modulus carbon fiber rib that runs down the length of the shaft. This technology ensures the shaft’s symmetry and stability are maintained throughout the swing, so maximum energy transfer occurs. Aldila’s patent pending RIP Technology (Reverse Interlaminar Placement) utilizes unique shaft designs and exclusive materials to transform shaft design from the inside out. The result is a shaft design with optimum flex and torque characteristics with incredible feel for maximum shot control. |
ObanOban is the shaft that we recommend to golfers looking for a high performance, high quality graphite shaft. The utilize cutting edge carbon fiber materials to craft their shafts.
Through testing, we have determined that Oban produces very consistent graphite shafts. Oban is focused on developing the best golf shafts possible. They go through different testing methods to ensure that they are producing the best golf shaft. Oban shafts are tested by top tour players and then perfected by their precision engineering team. Oban utilizes the highest grade resin and composite fibers available to product complex designs. They continue to push the structural limits of raw graphite by integrating low resin and high stable pre-preg materials. Oban also closely manages every aspect of the shaft manufacturing process to ensure that there are no errors. Graphite pre-preg materials are thoroughly inspected, exacting controls verify weight and flex, and centerless grinding ensures strict shape and diameter tolerances are maintained. |
Graphite DesignGraphite design produces high quality shafts that are definitely worth their higher price point. They offer many different shafts that target specific player needs. Graphite design shafts are favored among many tour players and through testing we have determined that their shafts are high quality and it is easy to find a shaft that will provide the best result for each player.
Graphite Design was first established in Japan in 1989. It is currently one of the largest golf shaft manufacturers. While producing a high volume of golf shafts they still ensure that they are of the highest quality. Graphite design utilizes revolutionary technology, design and sourcing the highest quality materials in all their shafts. They are focused on providing each golfer with the highest performing, consistent golf shaft they can produce. Graphite Design shafts have been the number one shaft played on the Japan Professional Golf Tour for over thirteen years. |
