Consider Steel Shafts for Your Irons

As the Graphite shafts of various materials have developed and become very popular, I get a lot of questions around "should I use Steel or Graphite" shafts in my Irons?" It is an important question.

If you are a senior golfer, a Lady golfer with a higher handicap or a golfer looking for more distance in your Irons, then Graphite is a shaft material to consider. However, if accuracy and control are the objectives, then consider the following.

Manufacturers today have made big improvements in making steel shafts with special alloys much lighter. You can get quality Steel shafts under 90 grams which is nearer many graphite shafts for Irons. With lighter steel you can gain the distance affect of lighter graphite shafts without giving up the control offered by Steel shafts.
