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.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The KBS Max Graphite is a graphite iron shaft built on the same EI curve as KBS's MAX steel shaft, made to help slower swings hit it higher, with more spin and accuracy. KBS fits it by swing speed instead of flex. This listing is the 0.370" parallel-tip version in five weights: 45, 55, 65, 75 and 85 g. Each shaft comes at 41" and gets trimmed to fit.

Before you order: this is a parallel-tip shaft that gets tip and butt trimmed for each iron, so order one per club. For trimming instructions, contact us first.


Who It's For

Good fit if you...

  • Swing a 6-iron 85 mph or slower and want more height
  • Want a light graphite iron shaft from 45 to 85 g
  • Would rather be fitted by swing speed than by a flex letter
  • Have irons with a 0.370" parallel-tip hosel

Not the right fit if you...


How It Plays

MAX steel's profile in graphite. KBS built the Max Graphite on the same EI curve as its MAX steel shaft, so players with slower swings can get a higher launch and more spin from a lighter, graphite shaft.

Fitted by speed. Instead of the usual R and S choice, you pick the weight that matches your swing. KBS names the five weights Lite (45 g), A (55 g), Regular (65 g), Regular+ (75 g) and Stiff (85 g).

One length, trimmed to fit. Every parallel shaft comes at 41" with a 0.600" butt and a black matte finish. KBS points out that trimming can change how the shaft plays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which weight should I choose?

Pick by 6-iron swing speed. Our fitting guide puts the 85 g at 75 to 85 mph, 75 g at 69 to 77, 65 g at 60 to 68, 55 g at 51 to 59 and 45 g at 50 mph or less. Take the Iron Shaft Finder Quiz or text our team before ordering.

Do I need to trim the Max Graphite?

Yes. The 0.370" version is one 41" length, so each shaft gets tip trimmed for its iron and then butt trimmed to playing length. Not sure how? Contact us or use our Retrofit Service.

What launch and spin does the Max Graphite have?

KBS describes it as giving slower swings a higher launch and more spin with accuracy. It publishes no launch or spin rating.

Why is the KBS label not on my shaft?

KBS sprays its black finishes by hand, so you may see slight cosmetic differences from shaft to shaft. The official KBS label is included separately, to be put on during club assembly so it lines up the way you want. A temporary white factory SKU label may be on the shaft until then. All of this is normal for genuine KBS shafts.

Is the KBS Max Graphite graphite or steel?

Graphite, built on the bend profile of KBS's MAX steel shaft.

Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • Which shaft will fit in for PXG 0211 irons.

    The PXG 0211 irons are universal tip, so they will fit the KBS Max Graphite 0.370" tip iron shafts.

  • I'm playing Vice 101 irons with KBS tour light stiff with a swing weight of C3 . I'm wanting to go to a regular flex . will these fit and will they change the swing weight ?

    Hi Jerry,

    Yes — the KBS Max Graphite Iron Shafts (.370 tip) should fit your Vice VGI01 irons properly if your current KBS Tour Lite shafts are the standard 0.370" parallel tip version.

    Moving from the KBS Tour Lite steel shafts into the lighter KBS Max graphite regular flex shafts will likely reduce the overall swing weight somewhat compared to your current C3 setup unless additional head weight is added during assembly.

    The good news is that swing weight can usually be adjusted back closer to your preferred range using tip weights or other build adjustments during installation.

    Thank you,
    Jim

  • I have callaway apex 19 irons. Do the .370 parallel work for those irons?

    Hi Robert,

    Yes — Callaway Apex 19 irons use a .370" parallel tip, so the KBS Max Graphite .370 shafts will work correctly.

    They are designed to be tip-trimmed to spec during installation to match each iron.

    Let us know if you’d like help with trimming or installation.

    Best regards,
    Jim

  • Do these shafts fit into ping i525 irons clubs 6 through gap wedge? How much for 6 shafts? Thanks!!

    The PING i525 irons are designed for .355" taper tip shafts.

    so you will need to choose the taper tip version .. 

    https://www.grips4less.com/pages/search-results-page?q=KBS%20Max%20Graphite%20Iron%20Shaft



  • Will these shafts fit the Ping i530 Irons?

    Because The PING i530 irons typically use a .355" taper tip shaft.
