No change in the Recoil 65 since 2020. As far as Pureing the ones you have, the grip and head have to be removed to Pure them. We can Pure shafts that have been shafted before, just need to be pulled and tape removed, tip cleaned, etc. If we do the pulling and then re-install, it is a higher charge. That is considered a retro-Pure and it is $40.00 dollars per club. So if you can pull it and clean it up it is cheaper.

Puring is now $25.00 per shaft ( SST Pure raised the price on us). No need for a copy of your invoice. As far as graphite throughout the set, it is personal preference, but I would usually say yes, especially when the graphite is so lightweight. Flex in the wedges is also personal preference, but I usually prescribe the same flex. As far as calling, you can call in and ask for me and if I am available I will happy to talk to you.

Not sure what weight your looking for and I haven’t found a choice that is a 2B3M. However, there are some 2B2M’s and I think those would most likely work. The trajectory variant depends on so many things like the loft of the irons, the weight of the shaft, your swing and attack angle, etc. that I would not let that keep you from trying one of the graphite shafts I mention. The 2B2M rated shafts in the UST Recoil options are lightweght, in the 68 gram range, in both the Recoil 760 Smacwrap IP and the Recoil 660 SC. Problem there is that they are both .370 parallel tip and the Titleist T400 takes a .355″ taper tip shaft. So, the Recoil 65 would be an option in a .355″ taper tip but it is even lighter at 64 grams, if that is a concern. The Aldila NV iron shaft that is 2B2M is also lightweight at 62 grams and is also a .370″ tip, so it will not work either. So, you might look at the Aerotech Steelfiber 70CW that is 2B2M in the A flex, .355″ taper tip and is 70 grams. You could have he irons bored to .370″, which you probably don’t want to do. We could possibly special order the Recoil options in a taper tip. That has been an option in the past and if you want to go that way, let me know exactly which UST model you want to go with and I will find out. Not an option on the Aldila shaft.

Thanks so very much Britt, Has there been much change in the Recoil 65 shaft since 2020, as I did purchase from GolfWorks two Recoil 65 shafts- 38.5 & 39 lengths. Since I am going to have them Purred, it may be better to start new since I will be purchasing 6- pw.
If I want to use them in another T-400 Titleist head, maybe 9 & PW, to have them purred do I remove the grip and send them or do you have to have the full shaft when purring? Thanks, Allen in AL
Thanks, this Forum is wonderful and very much appreciated.
I do have an extractor and re-grip very often, so I assume the purring of any current shafts will be the usual $21.50. I can send in a copy of my purchase order from 2020 with the two shafts.
Do you find most will go all graphite even the gap, etc. I assume they would use maybe a Stiff instead of Senior or Reg. shaft. Of course, they need to check to OD of the gap, etc. tip, to be sure it is the same.
Also, can we call and ask for your department, as long as we do not “abuse your time”.
