I've been researching making a move to graphite. Haven't swung a graphite shafted iron in 20 years. I had my first experience with both shafts today at the area big box retailer. Unfortunately it came in the form of two different heads. I was able to try a Steelfiber i110s in a Mizuno JPX921 Tour. First let me say, what a great looking iron. I would have no problems putting them in the bag right now. As for the shaft, I think the thing I've seen the most was how 'boardy' the shaft is. For reference, I currently play KBS Tour X 130. IMO, the Steelfiber i110 is every bit as smooth as the KBS. Honestly, I was surprised. I've never gotten along with PX or C Taper and I fully expected the SF to feel that way. Not even close. It was really, really good. There was no chance to play over-length or upright so I wasn't concerned about ball flight too much. That said, I was still launching between 16-17*. My fitting last year was producing 15-16* with 6800 spin.
Next I tried the Recoil 110 F4 in an Apex Pro. Also a great looking iron. Definitely a player's iron. And the shaft...I really expected it to be better. It felt really light and I had no idea where the clubhead was. Results were all over the place. After everything I had read, I fully expected the opposite of everything that happened today. 
Now comes the part that is probably going to ruffle some feathers in this community. Maybe it's anecdotal (not likely), but my experience today confirms the need to, maybe not be fit, but at the least test equipment before you buy it. The latest podcast consisted of selling the idea of online fitting. Now they obviously have a vested interest in that market but I gotta say, I read pretty much everything I could find from reviews, to blog posts, forum posts, marketing videos, comparing CPM readings. I exhausted my search results over the course of about a week. Everything about what I prefer and have liked so far in golf equipment was saying that there was a very good chance that I was going to prefer Recoil over Steelfiber and that was completely false. 
All of that being said, I'm aware of the Recoil Proto models and it's possible those will be better than the Steelfibers. I haven't been able to find access to those to test outside of purchasing one. But to me, the more important take away was I didn't expect to like the Steelfiber i110 as much as I did. Testing is not done though. I will move on and pick up a single shaft and build one to my preferred specs.
 
TL;DR Personal experience with equipment beats assumptions and generalizations. Test products in hand before trusting what others say/believe you should play

Ordered my irons based on fitting specs that I received a few weeks back - they came in on Saturday and I was able to play with them on Monday.  I wanted to share pics.  I also wanted to let you know that I appreciated all the posts and information I got from this forum.  I look forward to seeing other Maltby pics and info in the future.  I am trying to talk a golfing buddy into buying from Maltby also
 
 

I think it may be a good point to make a directed bump to Brother @chisag.  🙂
 

Been really close to switching out my R9 SuperTri with Fubuki shaft. Just really felt like a I was losing distance. Then I noticed it in my irons. Switched balls and right back to where I was.
 
R9 stays!
