  • Shaft Type and Stiffness

    I'm in the process of buying new irons. I have tried out several demo sets and intend to purchase Taylormade RAC LT irons. I have a pretty high swing speed and have always hit stiff steel shafts without having ever bothered to hit a graphite shaft. My question is this: would a stiff graphite shaft provide the same resistance as a stiff steel shaft and allow the club head to return to square at the moment of impact, or would the graphite just be too inherently "whippy" for someone with a high swing speed all together?

    EW,

    Go with the steel, for a high speed swinger steel is more consistant. If you want to make them real consistant have clubmaker check them out. I bought a set of Hogans 2 heads were to heavy 2 were too light and the swing weight was off on 3 clubs. My clubmaker tuned them up and now they all feel the same. Cost was $75.00.

    Food for thought,

      Thanks Golfbald.

      I'll get them checked out after I purchase them. I may end up having them knocked down to 1* flat after purchase so I"ll have them checked out and given a full "physical exam" at the same time.
