(Assembled) KBS PGH Player's Graphite Hybrid Shaft with Adapter Tip + Grip

The KBS PGH (Players Graphite Hybrid) is a lightweight graphite hybrid shaft built to make hybrids easier to launch and easier to hit. Based on the KBS PGI Players Graphite Iron platform, it's lighter than the KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype and has a lower center of gravity, so the club feels easier to swing and square up. It comes in seven weights from 45g to 105g, each paired with its own flex, so there's a PGH for everyone from juniors and seniors all the way up to strong players. .370" parallel tip. Who It's For Good fit if you... Struggle to get your hybrids up in the air and want an easier launch Want a lighter hybrid shaft that's easier to swing without feeling loose Play PGI graphite irons and want your hybrids to match Want more consistent contact and tighter dispersion from your hybrids Need a very light option (45g or 55g) for slower speeds, seniors, or juniors Want a premium graphite hybrid that still has that KBS feel Not the right fit if you... Want a heavier, tour-style hybrid shaft that matches KBS Tour steel: look at the Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Want a specific weight and flex combo (like 85g X-Stiff): the PGH pairs one flex to each weight, so the Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype offers more mix-and-match Already hit your hybrids too high and want a flatter, lower-spinning flight Need a taper tip hybrid shaft: the PGH is parallel tip only How It Plays The PGH is built for easier launch and better playability. KBS took the Players Graphite Iron (PGI) platform and adapted it for hybrids, dropping the weight compared to the Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype and adding a lower CG. That lower balance point helps the club feel easier to swing and helps get the ball up without having to help it. KBS uses a graphite wrap construction on the PGH that's designed to cut down on variables for more consistent shots. The goal, according to KBS, is to give you the tight tolerances and dispersion KBS Tour steel is known for, but in a lighter shaft that's easier to swing. One thing that makes the PGH different: each weight comes with its own flex. Instead of picking weight and flex separately, you pick the one that matches your speed. The 45g Lite and 55g A are there for slower swings, the 65g to 85g models cover most players, and the 95g S+ and 105g X are for stronger players who still want the easier-launching PGH profile.

Trimming can change how the shaft plays. How the PGH Compares KBS makes three graphite hybrid shafts. Here's how the PGH fits between the tour-style Prototype and the game-improvement Max HL. PGH Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Max HL Hybrid Launch Mid-High Mid High Spin Mid Mid Mid-High Weight 45g to 105g 65g to 105g 40g to 80g Flexes Lite, A, R, R+, S, S+, X R, R+, S, S+, X R, R+, S, S+, X Weight/Flex Combos One flex per weight Multiple flexes per weight One flex per weight Pairs With PGI graphite irons KBS Tour steel / TGI irons Max HL woods, Max irons Best For Easier launch, all skill levels Stronger players wanting KBS Tour feel Slower speeds wanting max height Not sure which KBS fits your game?

Frequently Asked Questions Which PGH weight should I choose? Since each weight has its own flex, start with the flex you play in your irons and woods. Most players land in the 65g R, 75g R+, or 85g S. The 45g Lite and 55g A are for slower speeds, seniors, and juniors. The 95g S+ and 105g X are for stronger players. If you play graphite irons, it's also smart to match your hybrid weight close to your long iron shaft weight so the transition feels natural. What does "A" flex mean? A flex (also called senior flex) sits between Lite and Regular. It's softer than Regular to help moderate swing speeds load the shaft and launch the ball, but a little firmer than Lite. PGH vs Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype: what's the difference? The Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype is based on the KBS Tour steel shaft and built for stability and more aggressive swings. It starts at 65g and offers several flexes at each weight. The PGH is lighter, with a lower CG and an easier launch, and goes all the way down to 45g. If you want a hybrid that feels like your KBS Tour irons, go Prototype. If you want easier launch and a lighter swing, go PGH. PGH vs Max HL Hybrid: which one is right for me? The Max HL Hybrid is KBS's game-improvement option, built for slower speeds that need the most help with launch and spin. The PGH is a players' graphite hybrid that still launches easily but covers a much wider range, from 45g all the way to 105g. If you're a slower swinger chasing max height, the Max HL is a great pick. If you want a more premium, consistent feel or play PGI irons, go PGH. Will the PGH fit my hybrid? The PGH has a .370" parallel tip, which fits most hybrid heads and adapter sleeves. It comes at 42" and is trimmed to length for your club. If you're not sure about your head or adapter, send us your hybrid model and we'll confirm the fit. Can I use the PGH with steel irons? Yes. Lots of players run graphite in their hybrids and steel in their irons. Just pick a weight that makes sense next to your long irons. Heavier steel players will usually be happiest in the 85g to 105g PGH so the hybrid doesn't feel too light compared to the rest of the bag.
