Just a curious question.
I went graphite a couple of years ago due to being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. In the last year and a half since I’ve been on medication I’ve gotten it under control and pain and stiffness have not plagued me for quite a while. I’m debating about potentially moving back to steel shafts. I’m an R flex guy and I’ve picked up some demo clubs on occasion when I find them in LH sitting out for a swing and I’ve generally like the feel of the Nippons I’ve hit in a couple of iron heads.
I’m thinking I’d like to get less spin as well. Even in heads be owned that were considered distance irons I had no problems getting what would be considered normal spin numbers. I could still spin a big Bertha os 7 iron around 7000 rpm with a recoil shaft. I’m not a long hitter so I’m assuming less spin will help grab some extra yards since graphite tends to spin more from what I’ve seen.
If others made the switch back to steel, what was you experience?
