Graphite alternative to TT Elevate 95

[Jmccas]

I’m buying a new set of irons from New Level (623CB). I have a demo now with the Elevate 95R in it. I like everything about the shaft but want to go graphite to help with joint pain. Options I’m leaning toward that are avail from NL:

 

1) Recoil 95

2) Steelfiber i95

3) Recoil 780

4) Steelfiber i80

 

Any of the above options most closely align to the Elevate shaft?

For me the True temper XP95 and Elevate 95 both in Reg have a nice amount of kick feeling which I like as I need launch.  I’ve tried the Steelfiber 95R and it felt pretty boardy to me. Also tried the 80g version and it felt more lively to me.  
 

the recoils always feel on the dead side to me as well. 
 

nost of those I think are listed as mid to mid high launch. The Elevate is always listed as high launching.  Seems to me like to get a high launching graphite these days you have to start looking at the 60g variants which is getting pretty light.

The Elevate's are a soft tipped shaft with a high launch/spin.  I believe the Recoils play softer than the Steelfiber's, which would put them closer to the Elevate's than the Steelfiber's, but that doesn't mean they are a match.  Are those your ONLY graphite alternatives?

The lighter mmt, 70r or 80s

I’ve got Recoil 95s in f3 in my 4-SW. They  have a similar feel to the Px5.5 I use to play, just not as boardy, but a tad stout to flex feeling with a bit kick to them. Have a 780 in my OL 3 iron in Reg flex and it’s more stout/boardy feeling than the Recoils. I’ve tried the Darts and they definitely have some kick to them. They felt very good in the new APEX when I tried them. As someone above said, the Recoil is a bit softer feeling than the Steelfibers.

I ended up going with Recoil 780s. Think it’s just a tad too loose as I have a two way miss right now. Granted I’m working on some swing changes so it’s probably too soon to say.  But I think I probably should’ve gone with Recoil 95s.

Poor consistency/dispersion is typically more likely the result of the lighter weight than it is the different stiffness feel.   

 

To be honest, I think the Steelfiber FC90's might have been a closer match than the Recoils with respect to the stiffness feel - but hard to say for sure since it's so subjective.
