Steel Iron Shafts
What are the advantages of having graphite shaft irons, instead of steel shaft irons ?
I was in a golf shop yesterday looking at the 2008 Big Bertha Irons. The clerk asked me what my price range was, I told him under $600. Well the steel shaft ones were $599 and the Graphite shaft ones were $799 (obviously more than I wanted to spend.) He then proceeded to say "you dont really want graphite anyways, they are mainly for slow swingers or people with old injuries who need a lighter club." I asked him if they do anything for how "soft" they feel at contact. He told me "not really". Im trying to figure out if he was just being nice about it,because he knew they were out of my price range, or if he really meant what he said. I bought my clubs on ebay last night...I got the graphite ones for $530. (almost $70 cheaper than the Steel shaft ones at the store ha ha). So now im coming to you,asking if he was right, or not ? What are the advantages the graphite shafts have over the steel shaft. There has to be something better about them if they cost $200 more in the store. Thanks!
Graphite shaft irons are more forgiving for miss hit shots than steel.
