RETURN COSTS & RESTOCKING FEE (ASSEMBLED ITEMS)
🚫 No Returns or Refunds on Assembled Shafts
Please note that all assembled shaft orders are final. Due to the custom nature of this process, we do not accept returns or offer refunds on any assembled shafts. Each order is built to your specifications, and once assembly begins, we are unable to restock or resell the components.
We encourage you to double-check all specs (flex, length, grip, adapter, etc.) before placing your order. If you need help confirming details, our team is happy to assist before you check out.
Returns can be made on non-personalized items and non-assembled items within the US, 60 days after you've received the original order. Items are only accepted on unopened and unused products. Items must be returned in the original packaging.

At Grips4less, we strive to provide a smooth international shopping experience. To ensure clarity regarding shipping, duties, and returns, please review our policy below:
Duties, Taxes, and Import Fees
- International orders may be subject to duties, taxes, and import fees imposed by your country. These charges are the customer's responsibility and are determined by local customs authorities.

Refused or Unpaid Shipments
- If an international order is refused or the required duties/taxes remain unpaid, the carrier may return the package to us.
- In such cases, customers will be responsible for all shipping costs, including outbound and return shipping fees.

Lost or Delayed Shipments
- Once an international order has shipped, we are not responsible for delays caused by customs processing or other carrier-related issues.

KBS Max HL Graphite Hybrid Shaft (0.370" Tip)
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The KBS Max HL Hybrid is the graphite hybrid shaft in KBS's MAX family, made for hybrids. KBS built it on the same EI curve as the Max HL wood shaft and fits it by swing speed rather than flex, to give slower swings a higher launch and spin. It comes in five weights, 40 to 80 g, in black, white or KBS red gloss. This is the uncut shaft: 42" raw length with a 0.370" parallel tip.
Want it ready to play? Get it assembled
This listing is the uncut shaft only. Order the assembled Max HL Hybrid and we build it to your specs, ready to plug into your hybrid:
- Your adapter tip installed: Callaway, Cobra, Mizuno, Ping, PXG, Srixon, TaylorMade, Titleist, Tour Edge or Wilson, with your loft and lie setting
- Tip trimmed for your club: 2 hybrid through 7 hybrid
- Cut to your length: 37" to 42" (adapter tip to grip), or left uncut
- Your grip installed: Golf Pride, SuperStroke, Iomic or JumboMax, logo up or down, with extra wraps of tape if you want them
- Same shaft, same options: every weight and finish on this page
Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Have a slower swing and want more launch and spin from your hybrids
- Are a club builder or DIY builder who needs an uncut shaft to tip and cut yourself
- Play the Max HL in your driver or woods and want the same feel in your hybrids
- Want a light hybrid shaft, from 40 to 80 g, in a choice of finish
Not the right fit if you...
- Want to screw it straight into an adjustable hybrid head: get the assembled version with the adapter installed
- Swing fast and want a heavier, KBS Tour-style hybrid: KBS makes the Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype from 65 to 105 g
- Aren't sure which weight fits: read the KBS Shaft Guide or take the 2-Minute Shaft Quiz
How It Plays
KBS built the Max HL Hybrid on the same EI curve as the Max HL wood shaft and fits it by swing speed rather than the usual flex letters. KBS says this lets players with lower swing speeds hit the ball higher, with more spin and accuracy, in a lighter package.
Weight sets the flex. KBS labels each weight with a flex: 40 g Regular, 50 g Regular+, 60 g Stiff, 70 g Stiff+ and 80 g X-Stiff. Every weight has a 0.370" tip, a 0.600" butt and a 10" parallel tip section. KBS publishes no torque, bend point or per-weight swing speed figure.
