Wrx guys ONLY talk about MMT 125…. … and I bet only 10% have hit it. We have it in TX for some reason in the matrix., complete waste.
What did you build today?
KCee My gripe with our graphite selection is it’s all light, 45-75 grams. Only thing heavier is the Recoil 780es F4 at 86 grams, the MMT 105 stiff at 105 grams and the MMT 125 TX at 125 grams.
Sucks.
I would much rather try the Recoil 95, Recoil Proto, Recoil 110. When I dial in the Recoil I was hitting I pick up more height and carry it another 6 yards. I really liked those numbers better than the MMT but I was more consistent with the MMT. Today I’m down in Cohassett for a fitting. I’m going to put a Recoil together and put it aside and hit it as often as I can. I wouldn’t mind getting used to that over the MMT

Because typical graphite iron shaft users are seniors. And OEMs think us all to be weak & slow. It is your 'upsell', for faster ss and more distance. Embrace the graphite in your kit!! Cater to the elderly! Push for a 'Senior's Fitting Day'. $$$$$$They got pensions and SS.

That's true. It's too bad more players in the 40-60 year old range don't consider heavier graphite. Half of them are wearing some sort of brace or whatever and could use graphite's shock absorbing properties. I think going graphite is the equivalent of going up in loft on your driver though lol.
KCee I've used graphite in irons a lot the past 30 years. It just depends on what the shaft profile is like. I used to have some that were 110g, and they are still the best I've ever used. But, that comparison is made from age 50 to now, even though I've never been that long with irons; 6i was my 'go to' perfect 150. Now, no iron goes that far.
The only set of graphite I have now are the newer Recoil Dart 75. Very nice, and much better than the older Recoil. I am playing steel currently though.
Admittedly, I've only used graphite iron shafts for the looks, mainly. No wrist, elbow, shoulder troubles.
I've only had the one set of irons, and they came with stock graphite shafts. Only two clubs in the bag have steel shafts, my 60°, and my putter.
Give me a TT DG S300 any day of the week.

I removed the Limey and installed the Tour AD IZ-4.
I also have a LA Golf RXR waiting in the wings just in case it doesn't work out.
Got my Maltby DBM'S glued up. I will get a couple of rounds in with them before I head out to SoCal for my annual trip. Grips and ferrule turning tomorrow.
