    Thoughts on Recoil shafts

    Looking for some opinions/advice here guys.
    I recently tried the new XRs by Callaway with the recoil shaft(f4)ithink they were 460 but can't say for sure, and really liked the feel and distance.
    Here lies my dilemma. I don't want to pay the kind of money GT wants for the set, so i thought that if i get a set of these shafts and put them in my current irons (TM Rocketbladez with 85g steel)it should give me about the same result.

    Here is where i need the expertise of the guys on this forum, suggestions,alternatives,heckling, all gratefully accepted.
    I don't have club assembly expertise or equipment so all suggestions for alternatives to GT or Golfworks as an assembler would be welcomed as well.

    Thanks
    Boomer

    Thanks, i actually picked up a half a dozen at GT on sale for 47.99 + tax had them installed last weekend, and hit them yesterday. I have to say i saw a big difference (+10 yds a club) based on one round. Very happy i did it so far, talk to me at the end of the season and i will be able to give a more objective review of the shafts and how they worked for me.

    Hi Chieflongtee,

    These are the ones he bought!
    http://www.golfworks.ca/product.asp_Q_pn_E_US0072

    I will have for sale a set from the 5 to gap wedge for sale for $200.00 & these ones are $60.75 a club & are hard to get as the demand is very high even at these costs........I was just fitted into Regular instead of stiff shafts that's why I will be selling them.

    Move to the US You are right but you must admit that it's confusing
    When I see Canada on top of a page I tend to believe that I am in Canada. Anyway if you sell your pull outs you'll probably end up selling them at $39.99 or less

    Callaway has a deal I believe still on that if you buy a set (if you're looking to change irons) you can have a free upgrade of shafts.

    FYI: I just bought XR with Recoil Shaft 460 and I love them. Light weight and it lets you really feel the club head when swinging.

    I recommend it strongly

    Bought the same about 3 weeks ago and really like them. Awesome control, great feel and awesome distance on mish1ts... I think they are a bit longer... but is has been cold so hard to say yet...
    If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
