Graphite Irons

One of the dilemmas that golfers have been asking about for years by both amateur and professional golfers is whether to go for steel or graphite irons. Even for golfers who have been playing for many years this have been their constant questions. Traditionally people generalize that graphite irons should only be used by recreational players and by mid and high handicappers while players who are better and low handicappers should use steel irons. Today this myth is not necessarily true anymore professionals golfers in the PGA tour and other well known tours use graphite irons that makes the wrong  information that graphite are for weaker players. It is not what kind of iron you will use whether graphite or steel but it all depends what among the two kind’s best fit your swing and playing style.
There are significant differences among the two that would help you choose what will be best suited for you. Some key factors to be considered in choosing whether to go for steel or graphite irons are steel shafts are cheaper than graphite and owning the same set of clubs will cost you less when they are made from steel rather than graphite, before steel shafts were more durable compared to graphite but today there are quality graphite shafts that will last as long as you maintain them in good condition, however steel shafts will last for a very long time when they are not rusted, bent or pitted. Graphite can transmit fewer vibrations compared to steel, this fact may be either good or bad depending on what you are really looking for and your skill level.  The most important fact when comparing steel irons from graphite irons are graphite shafts are lighter compared to steel shafts. For experts the lighter the weight of the club it will result in added distance in your swing and using the lighter graphite shaft will also increase your swing speed and give you added distance. For golfers who are looking for more yards in their shot they should go for graphite shafts. While when you go for the heavier steel shafts you will have more control and stability in your shots. This is for the more experienced player that can analyze and have an advantage from the added feedback given by steel shafts.

Today graphite clubs are gaining popularity over their steel shaft counterparts. The preference of many golfers in graphite shafts is very simple, the lighter the golf club the easier it is to swing and you will have a better swing and a farther distance of your shots. Swing speeds and distance of the swings are one of the main concerns of a golfer that is why they are going for the more practical choice and that is lighter clubs and that are graphite irons. To further explain my point you should have a light club if you want a faster swing and longer distance and you should go for steel shafts if you have the power to handle it.
