colej That MMT 105 is a totally overrated shaft, IMO. It’s stiff as hell due to the design and offers little to no feedback.
Hmmm… a bit biased there Xcalibur 105 salesman 😁. Quite the contrary… I also hit the modus 105 that I’ve had in the Pings for years.
The MMT to me felt very smooth, ball took off from the face with tight dispersion and ball speed was better than any other shaft. There are people that say they play stiff… not sure. They do launch on the low side but peak height and stopping power is still fine. On Trackman I got the same roll out after carry as I did with the recoil. I’m on the fence about softstepping them… a tiny bit more height wouldn’t hurt.
The Recoil is too soft in the tip for me. Didn’t feel as solid as the MMT but the MMT with Metal Mesh Tech makes you feel like you have more control and can go after it without sacrificing accuracy. The recoils are a great shaft… a close second place finish but at 87 grams it’s also too light for me. A lot of lefts. Didn’t hit it high, just left a lot due to the profile of the shaft. The Modus 105 also is a “soft stiff” tip but the profile is good for me otherwise… it’s just with that tip my launch is 3-4 degrees higher than the MMT… I lose a lot with the modus.
I can post Trackman screen shots for each one but why bore you guys.
The funny thing is I really was excited about trying the p790 2 degrees weak. I was hoping for a little more spin and height ( instead of softstepping). What I found was higher launch, too much spin, not a higher peak height that I wanted. Also, loss of ball speed. It just didn’t make any sense for me.
I would love to have an xcalibur shaft with the TM tips we use for irons… that’d be cool to try.
