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!
