I have just bought a new set of Wilson clubs with graphite shafts and the first thing I noticed with them is a dramatic change in distance. Played with them yesterday on the course and on hole No 12 I used to take a five iron off the tee and used my new six with the graphite shaft and overshot the green by three yards. Perhaps I was just having a good day but the new clubs are noticabely lighter and feel easier to swing
