KBS Players Graphite Wood Shaft

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.

There are a few versions of the TENSEI Orange driver shaft. Unlike the recent AV2 versions of the TENSEI Blue and TENSEI White, the Orange did not have the AV2 Butt label or the AV logo on the shafts.

The Kai’li Blue is a profile match to the Diamana PD with a few caveats. Most important to most golfers, it is offered as a no upcharge choice in TaylorMade drivers. The Diamana PD retails for $360.

The Kai’li name is reborn on a Mitsubishi driver shafts. It was used on the second generation Diamana Blue. To remove confusion Mitsubishi has added the name White to this shaft. And it is a White Board Profile.

The Kai’li Red does not have a close profile match in past Mitsubishi shafts. Not even in the profiel matches of the Diamana Reds that have not been offered in years.

The MCA Diamana is an iconic brand. The premium aftermarket shafts have been in my fitting system for as long as I can remember. The MCA profiles make my job easy. White, neutral mid, Blue soft mid, Tensei iK firm mid. It is a rational and repeatable process to find the fit and feel with that matrix. Unfortunately, the OEM Diamana S+ does not have a close profile match to the 5th generation premium aftermarket shafts. Nor does it have the upcharge price of the premium Diamana shafts.
