Last week I upgraded my iron shafts to the UST Mamiya Golf Shafts Recoil Dart 105 F5. I had been struggling lately with the heaviness of my C-Taper build and needed something I could feel better in the swing. After a fitting with my guy Vail Golf Academy and trying the Recoil Dart, it was amazing. I feel the head in the swing so much better and I’m able to make slight adjustments in the swing when needed. It’s been over a decade of using C-Tapers! But, early feedback has been amazing with the Recoil Darts and I’m really happy with the build!
After a couple days of practice I put them in play - day 1 at Shadowridge and hit 16 greens on my way to a -2 and day two at La Costa South with another -2. It’s been a while since I’ve been under par, so that early feedback is super exciting.
While my swing speed is still there, at 45 years old now the wear and tear from the heavier and bulkier C-Tapers were adding unnecessary wear and tear on my body, specifically my neck.
Shoutout to Hose for opening my eyes to UST shafts 💪🏻 and Coastal ClubWorks for the shaft swap
