How do you decide whether to purchase graphite or steel golf club shafts?
Here are the pros and cons of steel shafts vs graphite shafts:
STEEL
Pros: (i) consistent manufacturing of steel is easier to attain and there is less variation from manufacturer to manufacturer; (ii) more accurate because of a lower more penetrating ball flight; (iii) less torque and twisting.
Cons: (i) heavy; (ii) produces lower club head speed, and therefore less distance on shots; (iii) favors swing speeds above 95 MPH, thus eliminates many higher handicappers from playing steel.
GRAPHITE
Pros: (i) light weight; (ii) produces higher clubheadd speeds and longer distance on shots; (iii) more easily customized for players of all skill levels; (iv) matches up better with today's larger drivers, hybrids and fairway woods
Cons: (i) less accurate; (ii) higher ball flight that can be difficult to predict and control; (iii) confusing array of choices for the average golfer; (iv) no standardization of specs such as flex, kick-point, twisting and torque from manufacturer to manufacturer; thus one company's "firm flex" may another's "stiff flex" and so on.
In sum, if you want more distance, play graphite; if you want more accuracy and control, play steel.

The Game of Golf has most definitely changed throughout the years. Well, not so much the game, but the Golf Clubs and Accessories available sure have.
I remember when I first started playing Golf, decades ago. The only thing metal about our Golf Clubs were the Golf Irons and of course your putter. A very good Golf Driver was made of persimmons wood. And Fairway Woods were exactly that, Woods. Hybrid Irons? What's that? Fairway Metal? Come on now.
Back then we considered a 250 yard drive huge. Now, heck, these guys are hitting them out to 400 yards or more. A 300 yard drive for a pro is not just a standard but it's almost expected. Hitting the long ball has taken on a whole new meaning.
My Dad and I play together as often as we can. We live in different parts of the country so it is not as often as we would like. But I can think of a number of occasions when we both hit great tee shots. My Dad would say "yours was youth, mine was technology." Youth? Dad I'm pushing fifty now. I could use some of that help too.
Titanium Drivers with Graphite Shafts customized to fit your swing, various lofts available for each and every Golf Club, sixty degree Golf Wedges that just about throw the ball straight up in the air, and yet we still cannot par every hole. I know HOW to make good shots. But even the pros mess up a round now and then. You just have to keep coming back! No matter how much better we make the Golf Clubs and how much technology allows us to refine our game, it is still just that, a game.
Scores are getting lower every year. Courses are getting longer. Hole are more and more challenging. Golf Clubs are being manufactured with such forgiveness that is difficult not to hit a bad shot. But Golf is a game. And no matter what changes take place it is still up to us, the Golfers, to swing the Golf Clubs and make the shots. I love this game!
