The Players Graphite Wood is a 2025 model released in late 2024. This review is late due. I did an interview with Kim in early 2025 where he described the shaft and designed for the recreational golfer. Certainly its $175 will be appealing to the recreational golfer not comfortable with the $300+ prices of high end graphite shafts.

And yet, at that price, the profile in not to far off from some of the Graphite Design Tour AD’s and Fuji Ventus models.

The KBS Players Graphite Hybrid PGH is designed to partner with the KBS Players Graphite Iron. It is available in lighter weights that the earlier KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype, and is designed to promote a higher launch. It is available in 10 gram increments with a 0.370 tip that can be trimmed to increase stiffness.

The parallel KBS Tour Graphite Iron, TGI shafts released early in 2018. The constant weight, taper tip version first released in July 2018. In 2023 60, 70 and 80 gram constant weigh tapers were added. In this video, shot in January at the PGA Merchandise Show, Kim Braly talks about the Tour Graphite iron Shafts.

If you do not fully understand the difference between parallel and constant weight tapers please read the Technical article “Parallel vs Constant Weight Iron Shafts“, Lets move on to look at the measurements of the KBS TGI tapers.

KBS tells us that the Players Graphite Iron shaft was designed we be a replacement for steel shafts. I see the EI Profile as similar to the lighter weight models of the C-taper Lite.
