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.

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.

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.

UST 55 Gold Driver & Fairway Shaft
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The UST Mamiya 55 Gold is a lightweight graphite driver and fairway shaft with a mid-high ball flight. UST designed the Gold wood shafts to hit the ball farther with more accuracy, and uses the same high modulus carbon fiber as its original Proforce models. This is the uncut shaft: 46" raw length, 0.335" tip, 4.0" parallel tip, in A, R or S flex at 49 to 53 g.
Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Want a higher ball flight for more carry: UST rates every 55 Gold flex mid-high launch
- Want a light shaft, 49 to 53 g, that is easy to swing
- 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 flatter, more penetrating flight: UST designed the Proforce V2 for that
- Need x-stiff or a heavier shaft: the 55 Gold comes in A, R and S at 49 to 53 g
- Want the adapter and grip installed: this is the uncut shaft only, so contact us for help with a build
How It Plays
Light and built for distance. UST describes the 55 Gold as a lightweight model with a mid-high ball flight for distance, made with the same high modulus carbon fiber used in the original Proforce shafts.
Mid-high launch. UST rates all three flexes mid-high launch with 4.5 degrees of torque. The A weighs 49 g, the R 50 g and the S 53 g, so the flexes play close in weight and differ mostly in stiffness.
How the 55 Gold, Proforce V2 HL and Proforce V2 Compare

do you provide tip and grip for UST 55 gold graphite shaft
No, this shaft does not come with a tip or grip. All of our shaft listings are sold without a tip or grip unless they are listed under our Assembled Shafts section. In that section, the adapter tip is included in the price, while grips are optional and can be added for an additional cost.
