Who wants 2 have some fun
I didn't see a thread dedicated to reviews and experiences on the Aerotech SteelFiber shafts so I thought I'd make one. This year I'm really looking at iron shafts. After seeing the advantage of upgrading my driver shaft I wanted to look into doing the same for my irons. The Aerotech SteelFiber's have really caught my attention after seeing them in the bag of some guys on Tour, most notably Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker. After searching ebay I found a TaylorMade R11 6 iron for $10 and thought it was the perfect opportunity to pick up an extra iron and start doing some head to head comparisons. The iron shaft I was most intrigued by was the SteelFiber i95 which is similar in weight to my current KBS Tour 90's. Well I got my SteelFiber i95 shaft today and will be putting it into my extra 6 iron this week. I'll use this thread to share my experiences with it. I'm mainly focusing on distance, dispersion and trajectory. I am very fortunate that I don't have any joint pains and am someone who can hit for hours off mats and feel fine. So I won't be able to report back on the impact it has on joint pain.
Would be awesome to hear from THPer's who have tried these or currently game them. I really think that the industry is making some huge advancements in iron shaft technology and the SteelFibers definitely have some interesting technology, combining aspects of graphite and steel into one. I took some pictures of the shaft and will have more once it is installed. Initial thought is that it looks pretty similar to a steel shaft which I think is something they were going for.
