Steel or Graphite Shafts
The main difference between steel and graphite shafts is weight. In easy terms, graphite shafts are lighter. On paper, this should allow the club to be swung more speedily, and should therefore lead to longer shots.
Everyone should have graphite shafts then, correct?
Not therefore simple unfortunately - as there are some drawbacks with graphite. One, of course, can be cost a new set of irons with graphite shafts will typically cost at least ?¨º100 more than the same set with steel shafts.
The other issue will be consistency: Steel is not really only more durable than graphite, but is normally less complicated to manufacture. We've been using it for hundreds of years and we realize how it behaves. What golf players want especially good golf players is normally complete consistency of flex and torque (lateral twisting) throughout a set of iron set such as burner 2.0 irons.
In the event that you realize you hit, say, a good 7 iron exactly 150 yards you want to know it will go that distance every time you hit it well. The behavior of graphite should sometimes be a little erratic the ball will fly a little further or less for no apparent reason. Not really sufficiently more or less that most of us would necessarily notice it we probably wouldn't but good golfers do and feel happier with the consistency steel offers.
Feel' is normally another issue. Graphite soaks up vibration much better than steel but this can come at the expense of feedback through the hands when a ball will be struck. Graphite shafts tend to have a slightly dead feel on impact whereas with steel, the feedback is normally crisper, harsher and more immediate (this not really therefore desirable if you've just thinned' a ball on a frosty winter morning) with your Ping k15 fairway.
This lack of feel and a question mark over the consistency of flex and torque throughout the set explains why few male professional golfers or low handicappers use graphite shafts in their iron set. And, truly, the majority of irons sold, are sold with steel shafts.
Nonetheless, the consistency of manufacture of graphite shafts is getting better all the time; Many golf players actually prefer the softer feel that graphite gives at impact, the fact they may be light and easy to golf swing (and moreover to carry of course) and the slightly extra length they tend to generate. Graphite shafts are particularly favored by senior golf players who don't golf swing as fast as they used to, by lady golf players and juniors.
It's really a case of trying out a few sets of iron set in callaway golf clubs and seeing which ones you prefer.
Shaft Flex
In very simple terms, stiff flex shafts offer a little more accuracy for those with fast golf swing speeds (however less distance for those with slow speeds) And light flex shaft (that can be, they're whippier' than normal) are good for those with slower swings speeds (again, seniors being an obvious example). Regular flex shafts are for the vast majority of us.
