Yes, how are these compared to steelfibers?

I went for a driver and 3 wood fitting today, and after hitting a bunch of shots, I noticed my fitter had these shafts in his cart.
I asked if I could simply look at them based on the lurking I've done on this thread. My first thought when he handed one to me was "I can't believe this is graphite." When he asked me if I wanted to swing them, I couldn't help but say yes--even though I'd decided to give up swinging for the day (second day outside for me, first time on grass, 50 degrees with a 20mph wind in my face, still rusty from winter, and any other excuse you want to throw in there).
He set the 125 gram shaft into a Miura 501 CB 6 iron (which I've hit in his studio before matched to KBS shafts and wasn't exactly blown away by) and I took four swings. It only took one for me to bellow out a "holy crap!" The ball launched high and pure and dead straight. I wasn't on the monitor from where I was hitting and I wouldn't throw out a guess on distance, but those seven balls I hit were the purest iron shots I've ever hit.
After feeling my swing kind of breaking down as the fitting session wore on and the swing count grew, it was eye-popping how well these last swings were. In a word…effortless.
Sitting here on the couch five hours later, I am not thinking about the 40 or so positive results of my driver and 3 wood fitting, but drooling over the last seven balls hit with the Recoils.
Are you guys seeing the same kick feel that I am?
2nd part to that question. Is it good that I am feeling a kick?
I finally got these out on the course today and have a write up a little later, but to answer your question, not really. Maybe its just me but they feel exactly like steel. I will say in the longer irons they definitely feel different than regular steel but the shorter ones I am. It feeling what you are.
Are you feeling the kick in the shorter irons? Not sure it's a bad thing though.
Great job so far guys.....
I'm really curious about the spin rate. I'm not against a nice, high flight as long as the spin isn't excessive. So I guess I'm hoping to see some launch monitor numbers as everything looks great so far from your range sessions.
On full swings they feel a little different then my steel shafts, (not in a bad way) maybe that's the kick that I'm feeling... I'm not really sure about that yet. On partial swings I can really feel the kick.
I asked the dude in the shop if they let people pay to hit on their monitor. He didn't think they did but I will talk to the owner when I see him next. If not, I will go somewhere else that will

Here ya go Bret.
Thank you sir. I had forgotten about that because I'm old. Those spin numbers are very low for that launch. Nice! I need to hit these!

I am sorry I have not updated the past few days. My wife and kids got into an accident last night and then this morning I got into an accident. I'm a little discombobulated right now. I will be posting updates tomorrow. Sorry
