graphite shafts in irons

[GeeTee]

Im due to buy some new irons and it was suggested to me to try graphite shafts in my irons and I was wondering what your opinions on them were as Im of the opinion that they are for old folk and women . My mate uses them and he hits them well and raves about them but im not so sure

Best thing to do is try both & see what you prefer.

Graphite technology is moving fast with irons, it used to be as you say for ladies or seniors really, but iirc there are a few tour players paying graphite chatted irons now. As per pin seeker, try as many as you can and choose the best, whether that be steel or graphite.

I had a go with a new shaft from Exsar when I was visiting my father in law. IS Proto was all that was on it, it was a stiff shaft and unlike any floppy so called stiff graphite shafts this was as good as any steel shaft I have tried. Only problem for me was the weight, at 79g it was very very light.
F-i-L also reckoned it would run me about a grand for the shafts alone good reason to stick to my FCMs.

I don't personally feel they are just for old people. I am in the swing speed bracket where they would help me a little.

However, in reality, when I've tried sets of graphite irons, only 1 thing has ever happened....a little more distance.

Do I want my "new" PW to go the distance of the 9 iron in my existing set? Not really....that's just numbers on the sole of the club.
Would I buy them if I hit them straighter and sweeter? Too right....

I nearly bought irons last week with project x 6.0 graphite shafts in them. I like the idea of them. Apparently the 6s play the exact same flex to the steel version which i am playing just now but they are around 25grams lighter.

I thought if i played a lighter shaft it might mage me swing a bit smoother and not lash at it from time to time

I was custom fitted for steelfiber. These are steeel/graphite and offer the best of both worlds.Have a look her for more info http://www.aerotechgolfshafts.com/irons.php. I'm really please with my shafts.

Rather pricey though!

I've hit some I95s - that were too stiff for me - that felt Ok, but nothing super-duper special.

Quite a few of the top Pros use them (Snedecker is one) but doesn't mean they are right for me!

Light shafts don't suit my (erratic) swing either!
