It’s the finer details of golf equipment that can often make the more profound difference in a player’s game. There are few components that are more misunderstood or underutilised than the kick point of a golf club shaft.
While golfers often focus on clubheads and flex ratings, the kick point quietly plays just as a vital role. The kick point is essentially the precise location where a shaft bends most during the swing. Just like all the other elements of the golf club it helps to effect the launch, spin, feel, and overall trajectory of a golf shot.
To find out more, we sat down with the experts at KBS, one of the most respected names in the world of golf shafts, and their Marketing Director, Rhett Taylor. In this Q&A, KBS breaks down how different kick points affect ball flight, what types of golfers benefit most from each profile, and why understanding kick point can transform both your equipment setup and your confidence on the course.
No matter your playing ability, this discussion is packed with insights to help you make more informed decisions when it comes to shaft fitting.
