Collection: KBS Max HL Graphite Golf Shafts
KBS MAX HL Graphite Golf Shafts
Higher Launch • More Carry • Effortless Speed for Slower & Moderate Swing Speeds
The KBS MAX HL (High Launch) graphite series is engineered specifically for golfers who struggle to generate height, carry distance, or consistent launch with their current driver or fairway wood shaft.
With ultra-lightweight profiles (40–45g), smooth bending feel and exceptional stability for the weight, MAX HL helps you deliver higher launch, more spin, and easier ball speed — without needing a fast swing.
Available in multiple finishes and pre-built with adapter options for Ping, TaylorMade & other OEMs, these shafts are an ideal upgrade for golfers wanting a forgiving, high-launching, confidence-boosting setup.
Who Is KBS MAX HL For?
- Golfers with slow to moderate swing speed (55–80mph)
- Players who want higher launch and more carry off the tee
- Those who fight a low ball flight or struggle to get the ball airborne
- Anyone wanting a smoother feel without losing stability
- Ideal for seniors, beginners, transitional players or golfers returning from injury
Not recommended for very fast swingers (80+ mph with driver), who may overpower the shaft.
Key Performance Benefits
- Extremely easy to swing thanks to ultralight construction
- Higher launch and more spin for increased carry distance
- Enhanced stability for the weight class — less twisting at impact
- Smooth, responsive transition feel for better tempo
- Multiple weights and finishes to suit performance and style
- Compatible with major driver heads when purchased with the correct adapter
Fitting Guide – Choose the Right MAX HL Shaft
| Your Driver Swing Speed | Recommended Shaft Weight | Typical Player Profile |
|---|---|---|
| < 65 mph | 40g MAX HL | Slower swingers, seniors, beginners |
| 65–75 mph | 42g MAX HL | Moderate swingers seeking more launch |
| 75–80 mph | 45g MAX HL | Stronger moderate swingers wanting high launch |
| 80+ mph | Not recommended | Better suited to mid-weight shafts |
Flex Recommendation:
Most golfers at these speeds perform best with A (Senior) or Regular flex. Stiff flex is rarely suitable in ultra-lightweight shafts.
