Are my Wilson Fatshafts heavy?

[benjamin]

I have Wilson Deep red 3-PW with steel fatshafts and at the time of buying them i bought the SW with a graphite fatshaft as that was all the shop had in.

I always hit my SW far far better and with more feel than my steelshafted irons, i appreciate it is supposedly easier to hit a lesser lofted club but the swing feels so much easier and controllable with my SW and i can play much more accurate half or 3/4 shots with it than any other club...could it be due to it being lighter or is it possibly because its graphite?

I have a nagging doubt that i would play better if i bought clubs with graphite shafts or perhaps the Wilson fatshafts are heavier than say dynaminc gold...

Anyone got any clues please?

I used to use Wilson Fatshafts, I loved them and kinda miss them as I had them a long time.

They are heavier than your graphite but not heavier than A N other set of irons.

This is a little of a generalization but graphite shafts in irons are really for the young, old, ladies and the weak be that with injury or whatever.

Hi Alex, Thanks for taking the time to answer!

Now i can rule out that the Fatshafts are no heavier than other steel shafts i can consider if i would prefer graphite shafts.

I now use carbon shafts. Mainly as I have quite a slow swing. Due to 2 duff discs in my neck and a shoulder injury. It helps me get a better hand release, so giving me a higher club head speed.

I hit graphite more sweetly than steel. No surprise, as I'm a slow swinger. I also prefer longer shafted irons as well, in fact I especially like short irons a little longer ('cause I'm tall-ish?).

Trouble is, I find them like swinging bits of metal on the end of spaghetti strings at times.
