Graphite & Iron Golf Shafts

Steel shafts are generally heavier than graphite ones, but they are far more economical. While the weight you choose is mostly personal preference, it’s important to remember that although you will likely get more distance with a graphite shaft, steel shafts afford you more control, it being easier to keep on plane during your swing. Steel shafts come in many flexes, from A (senior) all the way through R (regular), R+ (firm), S (stiff), S+ (stiff plus), and X (extra stiff). The flex you choose is determined by your swing speed. The faster and stronger your swing, the stiffer the flex you can handle. But here’s a caution: using a flex that’s too stiff for your swing will cost you distance.
