RETURN COSTS & RESTOCKING FEE (ASSEMBLED ITEMS)
🚫 No Returns or Refunds on Assembled Shafts
Please note that all assembled shaft orders are final. Due to the custom nature of this process, we do not accept returns or offer refunds on any assembled shafts. Each order is built to your specifications, and once assembly begins, we are unable to restock or resell the components.
We encourage you to double-check all specs (flex, length, grip, adapter, etc.) before placing your order. If you need help confirming details, our team is happy to assist before you check out.
Returns can be made on non-personalized items and non-assembled items within the US, 60 days after you've received the original order. Items are only accepted on unopened and unused products. Items must be returned in the original packaging.
INTERNATIONAL RETURNS
We do not accept any international returns at this time.
At Grips4less, we strive to provide a smooth international shopping experience. To ensure clarity regarding shipping, duties, and returns, please review our policy below:
Duties, Taxes, and Import Fees
- International orders may be subject to duties, taxes, and import fees imposed by your country. These charges are the customer's responsibility and are determined by local customs authorities.
- If duties and taxes are not paid upon delivery, the carrier may be unable to complete the shipment and may return the package to us.
Refused or Unpaid Shipments
- If an international order is refused or the required duties/taxes remain unpaid, the carrier may return the package to us.
- In such cases, customers will be responsible for all shipping costs, including outbound and return shipping fees.
- Refunds for returned shipments will be issued minus all incurred shipping fees.
Lost or Delayed Shipments
- Once an international order has shipped, we are not responsible for delays caused by customs processing or other carrier-related issues.
- If a package is significantly delayed, we encourage customers to contact their local customs office or the carrier for more information.
By placing an international order (any order shipped outside the US), you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

UST 65 Gold Driver & Fairway Shaft
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The UST Mamiya 65 Gold is the heavier of UST's two Gold driver and fairway shafts, with a mid-high ball flight. UST says it uses the same high modulus carbon fiber as its original Proforce models and aims it at stronger players who want more weight with a mid-high flight. This is the uncut shaft: 46" raw length, 0.335" tip, 4.0" parallel tip, in A, R or S flex at 59 to 62 g.
Want it ready to play? Get it assembled
This listing is the uncut shaft only. Order the assembled 65 Gold and we build it to your specs, ready to plug into your driver or fairway wood:
- Built for your club: driver, mini driver or fairway wood
- Your adapter tip installed: Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, Krank, Mizuno, Ping, PXG, Srixon, TaylorMade, Titleist, Tour Edge or Wilson, with your hosel setting
- Cut to your length: the standard length for your head model, a custom length (42" to 46.5" driver, 38.5" to 43.5" fairway), or left uncut
- Your grip installed: Golf Pride, SuperStroke, Iomic or JumboMax, logo up or down, with up to 5 wraps of tape
- Same shaft, same options: every 65 Gold flex on this page (A, R and S)
Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Want a mid-high flight for more carry: UST rates every 65 Gold flex mid-high launch
- Want a little more weight than the 55 Gold: 59 to 62 g
- Play senior, regular or stiff flex
- Are a club builder or DIY builder who needs an uncut shaft
Not the right fit if you...
- Want a lighter Gold shaft: the UST 55 Gold runs 49 to 53 g
- Want a flatter, more penetrating flight or an X flex: look at the Proforce V2
- Want it ready to install in an adjustable driver or fairway: get the assembled 65 Gold
How It Plays
Proforce materials. UST designed the Gold wood shafts to hit the ball farther with more accuracy, using the same high modulus carbon fiber as the original Proforce shafts. UST positions the 65 as the heavier Gold model.
Mid-high launch. UST rates all three flexes mid-high launch. The A weighs 59 g with 4.0 torque and a 0.595" butt; the R and S both weigh 62 g with 3.9 torque and a 0.600" butt, so those two differ in stiffness rather than weight.
How the 65 Gold, 55 Gold and Proforce V2 Compare
| 65 Gold (this shaft) | 55 Gold | Proforce V2 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Launch (UST) | Mid-high | Mid-high | Mid (8 series: low-mid) |
| Weight range (UST) | 59–62 g | 49–53 g | 56–86 g |
| Torque (UST) | 3.9–4.0 | 4.5 | 1.8–3.7 |
| Parallel tip | 4.0" | 4.0" | 4.0" |
| UST says | A heavier model with a mid-high flight for distance | A lightweight model with a mid-high flight for distance | For golfers seeking a flatter trajectory |

Material: graphite | Raw length: 46" (uncut) | Parallel tip length: 4.0" | Tip diameter: 0.335" | A = senior, R = regular, S = stiff. UST publishes no spin rating or bend point for the 65 Gold. | Source: UST Mamiya official 65 Gold specs, checked October 2026
Tip Trimming
UST Mamiya's 65 Gold page has no tip trimming chart today. Tip trimming stiffens the tip, so check with your club builder before you trim. Rather have it built for you? Get the assembled 65 Gold.
