i have never heard this before. i knew or heard the graphite were better on the hands and dampened vibration better. he went on to say that on the fair way that given a 20 yard lee way, they were in the middle more and more acurate than the steel irons and drivers, "thats why they are more exspensive"? heck i thought it was due to there material and the difficulty in making them as apposed to steel. pat |
The guy at the shop you talked to is an idiot. Graphite and steel both have different flexes and flex points. Simply changing to a graphite will only fix the problem if the right shaft is put in. This guy was only trying to make a sale.
If you prefer steel, kthen stick with steel. Going back to the clown in the shop, steel is much more accurate than graphite as well. Graphite is lighter and will create faster swing speeds which will produce more distance, but at a cost of lost accuracy.
My advice is to wait until the guy who KNOWS what he is talking about is there to discuss your club.
