Easier Launch Without Giving Up Control
Developed from the KBS Players Graphite Iron platform, PGH is engineered to make hybrid shots easier to launch while providing the spin, accuracy and consistency players need from a scoring-focused long-game club.
Playable Spin
PGH is designed to provide the spin needed to keep shots airborne and deliver more control into the green.
Consistent Shot Control
KBS graphite-wrap technology and tight manufacturing tolerances are engineered for repeatable feel and dispersion.
A true players graphite hybrid family
Fit the Hybrid to the Player and the Set
PGH was developed as a lighter alternative to the KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype, with lower-center-of-gravity characteristics intended to create a more player-friendly balance and make the hybrid easier to strike. Seven profiles let a fitter blend the hybrid into a wide range of iron and wood setups.
- Based on the KBS Players Graphite Iron platform
- Designed for easier launch and playable spin
- Lighter-weight options than the Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype
- Lower-CG design characteristics for player-friendly balance
- Graphite-wrap technology for consistency and shot control
- Seven matched weight and flex profiles
- .370-inch parallel hybrid tip
PGH fitting range
From Lightweight Speed to Tour-Level Mass
KBS pairs each PGH weight with one flex designation. The range begins with the 45g Lite model and advances in 10-gram steps through the 105g X-Stiff, allowing golfers and builders to coordinate mass, feel and stability.

Weight and flex work together. A heavier profile is not
automatically better for every faster player, and a lighter profile is not
automatically better for every slower player. Tempo, transition, club
length, hybrid loft, strike pattern and feel preference all matter.
Technical Specifications
All seven PGH profiles use the same 42-inch raw length and .370-inch parallel-tip construction.
| Weight | Flex | Raw Length | Butt Diameter | Tip Diameter | Construction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 45g | Lite | 42" | .600" | .370" | Parallel graphite hybrid |
| 55g | A | 42" | .600" | .370" | Parallel graphite hybrid |
| 65g | Regular | 42" | .600" | .370" | Parallel graphite hybrid |
| 75g | Regular+ | 42" | .600" | .370" | Parallel graphite hybrid |
| 85g | Stiff | 42" | .600" | .370" | Parallel graphite hybrid |
| 95g | Stiff+ | 42" | .600" | .370" | Parallel graphite hybrid |
| 105g | X-Stiff | 42" | .600" | .370" | Parallel graphite hybrid |
Where Should You Start?
Choose a shaft that produces the right delivery and flight while blending naturally with the rest of the set.
45g–65g
Consider the lighter end when easier speed, lower total club weight or a more active overall feel is the priority.
75g–85g
A middle-range starting point for players balancing launch assistance with a more substantial, connected feel.
95g–105g
Consider the heavier end when added mass and stability help the hybrid transition more naturally from a heavier iron setup.
KBS PGH Hybrid Trimming Guide
PGH is a single-length parallel shaft that must be tip and butt trimmed for the intended hybrid.
0"–2"Progressive tip trimming by hybrid number
Trim for the Hybrid Being Built
KBS specifies no tip trim for a 2-hybrid, then adds one-half inch for each step through the 6-hybrid. After the correct tip trim, butt trim the shaft to the required finished playing length.
Trimming changes how a parallel shaft plays. Confirm the hybrid number, head or adapter, insertion depth and desired finished specifications before cutting.
| Hybrid | Standard Tip Trim | Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| 2-Hybrid | 0" | Butt trim to finished playing length |
| 3-Hybrid | 0.5" | Butt trim to finished playing length |
| 4-Hybrid | 1" | Butt trim to finished playing length |
| 5-Hybrid | 1.5" | Butt trim to finished playing length |
| 6-Hybrid | 2" | Butt trim to finished playing length |
Professional installation recommended. Tip trimming a
graphite shaft is permanent. A qualified builder should confirm the exact
head, hosel or adapter, insertion depth, playing length and swing-weight
target before cutting.
Hybrid Compatibility
The .370-inch tip specification must match the head or adapter being used.
PGH uses a .370-inch parallel tip. It is intended for
compatible hybrid heads or hybrid adapters designed for a .370-inch shaft.
It is not a direct fit for .355-inch taper-tip hybrid hosels or .335-inch
wood adapters. Requirements vary by brand and model, so confirm
compatibility before ordering or cutting the shaft.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the KBS PGH designed for?
PGH offers a broad fitting range for golfers from developing juniors through elite players. The correct profile depends on speed, tempo, transition, hybrid role, desired flight and preferred shaft mass.
Can I choose any flex in any weight?
No. KBS pairs each 10-gram weight step with one flex, from 45g Lite through 105g X-Stiff. Select the complete weight-and-flex profile.
How is PGH different from the KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype?
PGH was developed as a lighter, broader-fitting hybrid family with easier-launch and lower-CG characteristics. The Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype targets a different performance and weight segment.
Is PGH related to KBS Players Graphite Iron shafts?
Yes. KBS developed PGH from its Players Graphite Iron platform and family, adapting the concept for hybrid-club performance.
Will this shaft fit my hybrid?
It fits compatible hybrid heads or adapters designed for a .370-inch parallel shaft. Confirm your exact club model and hosel or adapter specification before ordering.
Does the shaft need both tip and butt trimming?
Yes. PGH is a 42-inch single-length parallel shaft. Tip trim it for the intended hybrid number, then butt trim it to the desired finished playing length.
