Graphite shafts good or bad ?

[golfdub]

Does any one play in single figures with graphite shafts with there irons or at least tried it as I find most players in single figures use steel shafts. What is the main reason for this? Sorry if this a numpty question.

I'm currently gaming a set of Aldila VS Proto 85 gram shafts in my X Tours following a shoulder injury. They are very consistent with a tight dispersion, equal to that I've had from steel shafts and allow me to play a consecutive 2 or 3 days or 36 holes in a day, something that I tried with steel DGS300s with some discomfort. I do expect to return to a lighter weight steel shaft at some point, but a quality set of graphite shafts should be equal to steel in most aspects. Kuchers Areotech shafts (albeit they're graphite - steel hybrid offerings) aren't doing him any harm!

The material is immaterial, I'd use whatever suits you best

Neither good nor bad but somewhere on scale between suitable and unsuitable, depending on you and your needs.

A number of Champions Tour players who are better golfers than any of us use graphite.
