KBS adds new C-Taper Lite shaft with parallel tip

Published

on

The C-Taper Lite shaft KBS released in June is now available in a parallel-tip model that complements the original tapered-tip design.

The shaft has the same mid-launch, mid-spin performance as the original C-Tape Lite tapered tip shaft but comes comes with a parallel tip in 108.5, 118.5 and 125-gram weights.

“The addition of the C-Taper Lite parallel tip shaft assists in diversifying our line,” said Kim Braly, director of R&D and Tour Operations at KBS. “Despite this being a lighter weight shaft, the C-Taper Lite actually fits a large amount of strong players.”

C-Taper Lite parallel tip shafts can be purchased through the KBS fitter network. Check out the full KBS C-Taper Lite specs below.

    Why is there no “FM” information on the CTL tapered shaft???????

    Is there an advantage of one over the other or is just the two different hosel widths?

    Have these in my irons in taper tip. They are great. Mid launch great feel. Very consistent. More consistent than my swing.

    Will these make my shots go further into the woods?

    About five years ago, you could get almost any steel shaft with parallel tip.
    Now it is getting harder to find them in component catalog.
    Taper tips are taking over.
    True Temper offers almost no parallel tip other than TT Dynamic Gold.

    Great. I have a taper tip in 3 iron and love it. Only problem is the price, over forty bucks a piece is a joke

Spotted: Nate Lashley’s Ping PLD “Wolverine” putter

Published

on

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.

This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.

Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.

Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.
