I went to game improvement irons this year ... game what makes you a happy camper!
Honest question if I may ... when folks recommend graphite, what is the thought behind the recommendation? (just trying to understand and not debate the topic)
For me, the comfort part of having graphite irons is a much softer feel even with off-center hits. You don't get the jarring vibrations you get with irons. So, it's easier on the joints.
The performance part is three fold. First, with the lighter shaft, everything being equal, I get a little more distance, which at my age, I need. Secondly, because there is more torque as opposed to steel, I'm forced to swing smoother. Notice I said smoother and not easier. I think I swing just as hard, but if I swing with a jerky motion I chunk, skull and hit fat. And thirdly, probably because of the first two, I have fewer off-center hits. Who doesn't want that?
Later,
