Anybody here have any feedback on the UST Mamiya Recoil 660 shafts?  I think these shafts have been out for a while, but they came out this year with a "new" 660 & 680 Recoil shaft.

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about them, or hit these shafts?  Are they soft or firm, true to flex...anything?

I am looking to put them in some Maltby DBM iron heads.

Thanks, guys!

Early Recoil 660/680 shafts were popular as replacements for the superlight 85 gram steel shafts from circa 2014 - more solid feel without too too much weight. The 2018 upgrade for irons is called the Recoil 660/680 SC.
Recoil 660/680 SC appear to have taper tip available on custom order.

The new 660/680 has similar specs to the Recoil Hybrid ES.

Using the Maltby Playability Factor for Shafts, the 660/680 by has moderate codes for its flexes.

  • F2 (Senior) = 2B2M 
  • F3 (Regular) = 3B2M
  • F4 (Stiff) = 4B2M

What you might do is order one 660/680 ES shaft, put it in the DBM 7i, and see how it works out. Golfworks could help you on your selection.

You'll have to hunt up reviews on your own for the 2018 models.

Wow, great info and more than I could find.  I wasn't aware the "new" was like the "old" hybrid ES.  If they play similar that gives me an option to experiment with. 

Thank you!

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
