At THP, we believe that testing should be done not only by us, but also by the golfers just like you. One of the cool features about being an active member of the THP Forum is that we look to you guys/gals, the consumers, to give feedback on equipment to golfers all around the world. Each month we send out iron sets, drivers, hybrids, putters, trainings aids and golf balls to our active members to be a part of the THP Forum Member testing.
The Shafts
UST Mamiya Recoil shafts have been favorites of THPers, since the first test that was ever run when the prototypes came out and THPers got a chance to test them. Now, a brand new version is coming soon and the Recoil SMACWRAP has some intriguing features going on.
RECOIL 760/780 ES SMACWRAP vs. STEEL (191% less vibration)
RECOIL 760/780 ES SMACWRAP vs. Previous Generation Recoil (76% less vibration)
SMACWRAP viscoelastic material is able to bring a high amount of damping (vibration absorption) in composite structures when it is located strategically within a composite structure’s core. SMACWRAP optimizes noise and vibration damping at the source in a smart way without any need of add-on damping products.
UST Mamiya has SMACWRAP cured between layers of graphite in the butt section of the shaft.
Criteria
4 Testers total will be involved in this review and each receive a brand new set of shafts before most.
You must be able to play golf. Either on the course or in a practice facility.
Testing Process
If selected it will be your job to test the shafts out and update the review thread with feedback on your findings. This is long term testing and will need updates for an extended period of time (about 2 months). If you are looking for info on what forum testing feedback should look like, check out one of the many review threads to see how others have fared.
To participate you must be an active forum member or become an active forum member. Being active on THP has its benefits and product testing is one of them (monthly testing like this). If you are new, that is okay, being active is more than just tenure.
Rules
This is not a contest, so there really are no rules. All we ask is that you make a post in this thread and answer these questions. Please have an answer to all questions and be specific.
1. What make and model shafts do you currently have in your irons?
2. What do you usually look for in iron shafts?
3. Weight and flex preference in shafts?
Keep in mind if you are not chosen for this, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future here at THP for testing and other product trials. Stay active and you will have a chance to be part of these awesome testings we do here. This THP Forum Testing is open to anybody that is a forum member. If you are a 2017 Albatross Club member, shipping of the gear is free of charge, if you are not, you can still participate, but if chosen there could be shipping charges that apply. For information on the 2017 membership, that is open to anybody, click here.
