KBS adds new C-Taper Lite shaft with parallel tip
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.

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
