If you purchase a label yourself from a local carrier office (ie. USPS, UPS, Fedex), then there will be no deductions from your refund. If the returned items are not in new and unused condition, we reserve the right to dispose of them or return them to you at your expense. You may purchase return shipping if you would like the items sent back.

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.

 

INTERNATIONAL RETURNS

We do not accept any international returns at this time.

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.
  • If duties and taxes are not paid upon delivery, the carrier may be unable to complete the shipment and may return the package to us.

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.
  • Refunds for returned shipments will be issued minus all incurred 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.
  • If a package is significantly delayed, we encourage customers to contact their local customs office or the carrier for more information.

By placing an international order (any order shipped outside the US), you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

REFUNDS

Refunds are normally processed back to the original account (ie. credit card or PayPal). If you prefer store credit, please include this note of the refund request.

HOW TO CREATE A RETURN (ITEMS RETURNED MUST BE IN NEW & UNUSED CONDITION)

1) Access your order history, and request a return here

2) Your return request will be responded to within 1 business day (not including Sat/Sun/holidays). If the request is approved, we will e-mail you a return label. 

3) Package up the original order and drop off the package at your local carrier.

4) After 1-2 weeks after receiving the return order, we will process and issue your refund (original paid price of items returned minus cost of return shipping) to the original payment account.

DID WE MAKE A MISTAKE?

If there was an issue with your order (the wrong was delivered, or the product arrived damage due to carrier neglect), we will ask you to send us some pictures. If the item is confirmed to be incorrect, we will provide a return label to send back the items. Once the items are back in our warehouse, we will resend your order with the correct items. We cannot ship out a replacement order until the original items are received back. For damanged items, we will open a claim with the carrier, and once the claim is approved, we will send the replacement item. 

CANCELATION REQUESTS

While we do our best to process cancelation requests, our shipping team works fast, and we cannot guarantee that your order will be canceled

If we are able to cancel the order for you, there will be a 5% restocking fee deducted from the refund.

RISK OF LOSS

All purchases of physical items from Grips4less are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.

RETURNS, REFUNDS AND TITLE

Grips4less does not take title to returned items until the item arrives at our fulfillment center.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The KBS PGW (Players Graphite Wood) is the driver and fairway shaft in KBS's PLAYERS graphite line, new for 2025. KBS designed it to fit a wide range of swing speeds, with enough weights and flexes for most players to find their launch and spin window. This is the uncut shaft: 0.335" tip with a 4" parallel section, in 24 options from PGW 40 R2 to PGW 80 TXX.

Want it ready to play? Get it assembled

This listing is the uncut shaft only. Order the assembled KBS PGW and we build it to your specs, ready to plug into your driver or fairway wood:

  • Built for your club: driver, mini driver or fairway wood
  • Your adapter tip installed: Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, Krank, Mizuno, Ping, PXG, Srixon, TaylorMade, Titleist, Tour Edge or Wilson, with your hosel setting
  • Cut to your length: the standard length for your head model, a custom length (42" to 46.5" driver, 38.5" to 43.5" fairway), or left uncut
  • Your grip installed: Golf Pride, SuperStroke, Iomic or JumboMax, logo up or down, with up to 5 wraps of tape

Who It's For

Good fit if you...

  • Want a wide choice: 40 to 80 g and R2 to TXX
  • Need a very stiff build: TX and TXX in the 50 to 80 g weights
  • Want a light senior build: 40 g or 50 g in R2
  • Are a club builder or DIY builder who needs an uncut shaft

Not the right fit if you...

  • Want published launch, spin or torque ratings: KBS publishes none for the PGW
  • Swing under about 80 mph and want more launch: look at the KBS Max HL
  • Want it ready to install in an adjustable driver or fairway: get the assembled KBS PGW

How It Plays

Part of the PLAYERS graphite line. KBS calls the PGW its latest extension of the PLAYERS graphite performance line, built to fit a wide variety of swing speeds and to give optimized launch and spin at targeted swing speeds. KBS publishes no launch, spin or torque rating for it.

Pick by weight and flex. KBS makes the 40 g at 45" raw and the 50 to 80 g weights at 46" raw, all with a 0.600" butt and 4" parallel tip. KBS gives each flex a frequency rating on its trimming chart, from 4.5 for R2 to 9.5 for TXX, and uses the same tip trim chart for every flex.
