Skyline Corporate Communications Group secured recent media coverage for client FST Corp. (Nasdaq: KBSX) in The Lasco Press, highlighting the growing presence of the company’s KBS brand across TaylorMade Golf’s newest Spider putter offerings.
The article, titled “Golf News: TaylorMade Spider Tour Putters Get an Upgrade,” focuses on TaylorMade Golf’s selection of KBS putter shafts as stock equipment across two newly launched putter families: the Spider Tour family and the Spider ZT Max lineup.
KBS Shafts Featured Across New TaylorMade Spider Putters
According to the coverage, all four head shapes within the new Spider Tour family, including the Spider Tour, Spider Tour X, Spider Tour F, and Spider Tour V, are equipped with the KBS CT Putter 120 Stepless Black shaft.
KBS technology is also featured throughout the Spider ZT Max lineup. The Standard model incorporates the KBS CT Putter 120 Stepless shaft, while the Counterbalance and Long configurations utilize KBS Custom Graphite shafts at different weights.
The placement expands KBS’s presence within one of golf’s most recognized putter franchises. According to TaylorMade, Spider putters have accumulated more PGA Tour wins than any other putter family since the beginning of 2024, including recent major championship victories by top-ranked players.
Supporting Continued Momentum for FST
The TaylorMade programs come amid continued growth in FST’s OEM business. FST reported a 57% year-over-year increase in sales to OEM partners during the first half of 2026, reflecting increased momentum with golf equipment manufacturers.
FST Chief Executive Officer David Chuang commented on the significance of the TaylorMade selection:
“The selection of KBS shafts across TaylorMade’s newest Spider putter families is a powerful validation of the KBS brand and the engineering behind it.”
Chuang also noted that having KBS steel and graphite putter shafts featured as stock equipment reflects the trust leading OEMs place in KBS performance and can further expand the brand’s visibility among golfers.
