The biggest difference Ive noticed is that I hit the ball higher, longer and that the club overall feels lighter. Ive never noticed with newer shafts that graphite is whippier and honestly, if money were no object Id go graphite, no question.
My main thought is that you dont use steel shafts in your driver, FW or hybrids usually; so why is it a must that they be used in irons?
I have only recently (in the last 2 years of my golfing "life") started using graphite shafts in my driver and woods. I still use steel in my hybrids, irons, wedges, and putter. I'm contemplating moving to graphite after I got golfer's elbow last year. I hadn't played golf for 4-5 years and my elbow didn't hold up too well to 40ish rounds from April to July.
I'm probably going to be switching too. Though I haven't dealt with tendonitis in the past, I'm now having bouts of tennis elbow frequently. Though it's manageable at the moment, I certainly don't want to let it get to the point where it's debilitating, or have to be in pain, even if minor, after every round for that matter.
Tennis elbow or golfer's elbow? I had GE last year and I don't think its completely gone. Afraid it is gonna come back this year so I'm contemplating the move to graphite.
