I'm dealing with this too. Recoil 65 in irons then RTX4 S400 steel. Looking at alternatives.
UST Mamiya Recoil Shafts Review Thread
You could jump to Recoil 95 or 110 in the wedges if you are wanting to stay with graphite, but looking for more weight.

Me too. When I have them in hand, I'll post up some pictures.
Definitely giving some Recoils a few hits at my final Morgan Cup fitting on Saturday to see how they perform for me vs. KBS steel.
Just missed out on a set of recoil proto 110s. ?
These arrived today. Won't have ferrules until early next week.
Really looking forward to your thoughts on these and how they compare to your previous shafts!
You will enjoy those. Don't be afraid to try them in your wedges too.......Recoils + Wedges = FUN!

Curious on your thoughts about this. Is it to raise your ball flight? More speed?

I don’t think I will ever leave my proto 95s. Just the best shaft.
Recoil 110 and I agree!
Those are stout!!!
Very interested to try them, probably middle of next week. I have a 30 min lesson today and will leave shafts and clubs there just in case ferrules arrive early.

Mainly, I have this really cool Ion Gold set with THP logos on them...
It seems like a second set of Recoil shafts may be in my future. I am thinking about what to put them in, but I have been really leaning towards a set of Cobra Forged Tec heads.

I have that exact combo and they are the best feeling clubs I have ever hit. No doubt in my mind that they pair well with each other

Cough cough apex combo set cough cough
Those would go nice alongside the driving iron
Shafts are finally getting installed. I have scheduled a time Friday morning to hit them for the first time. We had to make some adjustments to keep swing weight but overall minor. This will be my version of shaft up. Excessive details of the experience can be expected. ?
Grabbed my irons today with recoil 110 F5. Hit them on GCQuad. They look good, a little thicker across the full profile. The first thing I noticed is a different weight distribution feel. They feel light in my hands. They are also progressive in weight, and the light feel is most noticeable in longer irons. Hitting them is an adjustment. Well struck balls feel effortless through impact. Mishits still give lots of feedback. I didn't notice too much in terms of difference there. I hit the 6 and 7 really well. PW, 9, and 8 took more time to dial in. It took time to find the bottom of the swing. Long irons felt pretty good with some lead tape added to the heads. Flight is a touch lower than the Modus 105x -- a good thing for me -- and my impression is that distance control is better. For some reason I wasn't taking note of spin. I only spent an hour hitting them and will need more time to adjust. Performance feels similar to other shafts I have tried. That's good. The lighter feel is new and could be a nice benefit over time. I don't have enough "data" to have a feel for benefits to hands and wrists. Overall a good first day. 
You won't have much issue at all working into those shafts. Sounds like a good first outing with them.Grabbed my irons today with recoil 110 F5. Hit them on GCQuad.

I struggled mightily with my Recoils when I first got them for about a month. mostly it was me mentally trying to overswing them. As soon as I made an adjustment to my tempo, its as if I unlocked something in the shafts that allowed them to reach full performance and give me the flight and distance I was looking for. I felt like i was swinging at 75%, but i was seeing the ball fly with the height and distance I expected. I think, like you, the biggest difference was going from a heavier set down to a set playing at around D1, but after some time at the range and on course, I think I prefer the D1 swing weight.Grabbed my irons today with recoil 110 F5.
