Hadn’t noticed till you mentioned but it seems to clean up quickly. Shows fingerprints an such more than the originals but they wiped off easily. Something I’ll keep an eye on a little more now and let you know.
UST Mamiya RECOIL DART Shafts
I could be tripping, and it hasnt been problematic, just was noticeable. Could also just have been stronger wind than i have been in in a while. North Bellingham is more a links style course, wide open to the elements. Always a fun and challenging place to play.
Same ball as usual?
I am really thinking about them too. I saw an ad that had some Darts for sale but not the right flex on FB.
hmm, actually no...usually play Chrome Soft X and was playing the Srixon Soft Feels I have. I'm not concerned, just made me wonder and makes me want to get on a launch monitor and see how things are. I need to do that anyways, but this just gives me something specific I'm more curious about now.
Cold is not a big concern for me but heavily thinned shots are. So, still looking forward to this feedback.I haven't been able to get out in over a week to test these more. Round scheduled for Friday morning and its going to be cold so that should be a great test on feel

I'll see if I can thin a couple for you
Stick!
Going to the range tonight to put more swings on these. Really looking forward to it with the way things have been going. Will see how it goes though.
I went in not expecting much difference between the Recoil DARTs and the Recoil 680's I had. I was skeptical that there would be any difference beyond a little weight, to be honest. I've been happy to see that there is quite the difference, and that they feel as good as they do. I feel like it has breathed new life into my irons with how stable and smooth they feel. it's very interesting, but very cool.
The dispersion has been quite the surprise to me. I never imagined a shaft could make much difference in that area. Sure seems, quite a bit better to me so far though.
That's all I've got so far, but I'll keep this in mind in case I'm reminded of anything or encounter any new/different feelings.
I may know a guy who says that they are nowhere near as harsh as the Recoils and especially steel. They’re noticeable obviously but I can’t say enough how well these do for the hands.
Didn't have my best stuff at the range today. Hit some good shots, but also did get to test thinning shots for you @drp3434. I can say that, while you can definitely still feel when you thin it, there is no pain like when I thin it with my steel shafted club. It's just a dull thwack that lets you know you effed up. It was more noticeable with long irons than shorter irons, at least with what I hit today. I did thin a couple wedges (Dynamic Gold s400 shaft) and feel a jolt up to my elbow with those.
Overall though, still very happy with these. even with not great swings I was keeping the ball in front of me, and the good shots just continue to make me smile. Pretty well convinced I want these in my wedges too.

Played a round this morning. It was 41 degrees at tee time. Suffice to say I was not swinging well. The good news is the dart shafts held up just fine and probably saved my cold hands from some pain on thinned shots. Once it warmed up it was back to business but I tested the feel quite a bit the on thin shots this morning as promised

You haven't skipped a beat going from steal to graphite have you? In fact probably exceeded your expectations.Played a round this morning. It was 41 degrees at tee time.

I went and hit a bunch of shots side by side with my old irons that have the Recoil DART 90's in them and the new irons that have Recoil 95's in them. It was a good opportunity to compare the feel of the two shafts. The Recoil 95's definitely feel softer than the DARTs and the load point feels to me to be closer to the head whereas the DARTs are just a tad stiffer and the load point feels to be near the middle just a touch on the grip side.
I hit the new iron much longer but my dispersion was a lot tighter on the old irons and I think the DARTs are to thank for that. I'm going to give it a few more weeks but I'm starting to get pretty confident that the DARTs are going to make it into the HMP's sooner rather than later. That's if @Golfers Anonymous will agree to help me out with that again.

I appreciate the feedback from multiple people on thinned shots
