It really is up to your natural preference on that one. I think that steel shafts are better, and i got mine stiff for added control. Just your take on this one!

It largely depends on 1) preference and 2) swing speed.

Nowadays, you can get shaft just about as heavy or as light as you like. Graphite can be much lighter than steel (obviously), but heavy graphite and light steel are pretty much the same weight.

More importantly than graphite vs steel is your swing speed, which indicates flex.

Figure out your SS, find your flex, then get your clubs shafted accordingly.
