Which golf club iron shafts are best - graphite or steel?
I am about to buy a set of golf clubs for the first time and I have one of two sets in mind - one set has all graphite club shafts the other has shafts of steel irons and graphite drivers
My husband has both, but he prefers the graphite shaft ones, but it does depend on personal choice.
When you go to buy them you can test them out in the store, most golf shops have a practise part set aside.
Have a good practise and you will soon find out which ones you are most comfortable with.

Callaway Womens Big Bertha Fairway Wood $149.95 "Callaway Womens Big Bertha Fairway Wood The Callaway engineers had one mission — build the most technologically advanced and forgiving stainless steel fairway woods for women Callaway Golf has ever made. After receiving feedback from some of the most experienced minds at Callaway Golf and, most importantly, women themselves, the engineers have designed clubs that react seamlessly with a woman’s unique swing characteristics and feature the latest game-improvement technologies we have to offer. The smaller head sizes and slightly longer shafts combine to help increase clubhead speed for higher ball speeds and longer distance. The internal weighting has been strategically positioned to promote draw-biased shot-shaping that reduces fades and slices and raises a woman’s confidence to make the game more enjoyable than ever before. Optimized Head Design Smaller all-stainless steel clubheads have a high MOI and large effective hitting area for excellent stability and distance, even on miss-hits. Draw-Biased Weighting Strategically placed internal weighting is biased toward the heel, helping you close the face more easily at impact to promote a draw ball flight and reduces slices/fades. Longer shafts Optimized to meet the modern woman’s swing needs and height, it also helps increase clubhead speed for better potential ball speeds. Callaway Golf Core Technologies VFT Technology maximizes ball speed and perimeter weighting for more distance and forgiveness; S2H2® increases discretionary weight by removing it from the hosel and repositioning it in the perimeter of the clubhead; and Tru-Bore® provides improved feel and clubhead control. Features: Callaway Womens Big Bertha Fairway Wood • Optimized head design has a high MOI and large effective hitting area for excellent stability and distance, even on miss-hits. • Draw-biased internal weighting promotes a draw ball flight and reduces slices/fades. • Longer shafts are optimized to meet the modern woman’s swing needs and increase clubhead speed. • Callaway Golf core technologies include VFT, S2H2 and Tru-Bore." |

Golf Club Shaft - Where To Look For The Best Shaft…
If you're picking out any new clubs for golf for personal enjoyment, one great factor would be choosing the correct shaft. A shaft of one golf club is the metallic part which connects the head to the handle, and effectively connects the full golf club together as a part. It plays a big role while swinging the club. Picking the correct one might have a great effect on your entire game, but you've to consider lot of things while picking it. The very best thing you may do is get some seasoned golfer for helping you out in doing this, and try enough golf clubs for feeling confident in the choice of yours. There are some guidelines which will always help while someone picks out one golf club shaft. Listen to them, so that you might make some wise choices while picking out the golf clubs.
The shaft's length is definitely one factor which needs some thought to put into. As everyone's swing technique and height is different, the shaft selected should be tailored personally by you. One way which people determine the desired length is by measuring from their navel down till the floor. As you grip your club and lean over it for making your stroke, you would find that its length is almost perfect, always. Even though you don't lean like others (or you lean too much), the length should be altered. Just try different lengths before you choose, and you must finish being happy about the golf club's length that you select. However, that's not it.
Golf club shafts should possess one more factor which should be specified by the producer, and this is about the club's flex. If you bend it with the bare hands you can't notice its visible bending, but while you swing the club it certainly bends almost in some imperceptible amount. This may largely affect the game, especially if you're used to use some other type of club having a different value of flex. The prime thing which changes your flex's choice is the speed in which you swing. Do you give all your force and your speed in a swing, or are you doing it very much delicately? The faster swing would probably be very much better with a stiff shaft. Club shops would be able to tell or to help you about the amount of flex you require.
Most of the things might be changed by the material which the club is made up of. The2 most popular materials would be steel and graphite. Everyone has some unique characteristics of its own - generally graphite will be considered as the more professional selection, but you might find that steel shafts work fit exactly for you. These steel shafts are heavy and are more durable, and are usually cheaper than the graphite. However, graphite would be perfect for those people who prefer light clubs and high torque ratings. The requirements of a golfer may range from many different variables, still many feel that the needs come within the uses of steel shafts itself.
Lots of golfers think that they're fine with sticking to a golf club shaft from which they have learnt golf. However, if you're a dynamic golfer who feels that you may improve your game just by buying one shaft which suits you more, then you would find that it may increase the enjoyment of yours by golfing by quite a small bit. The correct shaft with the correct person will work wonders.
