Great content and info on the graphite shafts. I just had my son who is 13 years old fitted and the fitter went into the graphite and steel shafts realm. It was amazing to see how each shaft profile either steel or graphite actually effected the flight of the ball. In the end, we were fitted for the graphite shafts for his next set of clubs. These were based on his club head speed, launch, and angle of decent of the ball. This experience was amazing to observe to see the science and knowledge of the fitter and the final outcome.

Great Review again gentlemen!...Hdc @13 ...Had steel R300’s last year in the G700”s but went with the Recoil 95’s in the 919 HM’s recently ...What a great combo for me (54 yrs old) due to pain in my hands and wrists...I’ve been hitting some of my best iron shots and more often than ever...Sooo happy I went with the Graphite and HM’s!

I started golf 4 years ago with an off the shelf graphite xxio iron set. I’m 52yr old with two shoulder reconstructions and a fairly beaten body. I really enjoyed the feel of the clubs. I have been fitted 6 months ago into a titleist Ap1 head and a light steel true temper shaft. I did ask the question when being fitted re. Graphite v steel shaft and the fitter said I would be fine gaming the steel shaft. My handicap continues to drop and I am enjoying the clubs but I have definitely felt more pressure on my right shoulder, I have a great rehab team around me to keep me going. I will be contemplating graphite shafts on my next upgrade.

TXG is now my favorite channel. Graphite shafts in irons is the hardest sell i have to make. It's hard to even get people to try them from steel and i'd say a good 75% of those i've finally gotten to do it see significant improvement once they do in all areas of launch , distance, and dispersion.

I love my graphite irons, and I’m a pretty powerful hitter with a good swing speed. I have recoil e80 smacwrap f3 shafts in my cobra utility iron all the way up to gap wedge (irons are cobra forged Tec Black.) I love that shaft- couldn’t give a scientific reason why, it just feels sweet, ball spins good/stops and I like the high look of the flight plus get plenty of distance with sensible gaps. I’ve tried other shafts in graphite and steel- but couldn’t see my self changing any time soon. However I am getting an f9 driver and fairway wood soon, and do wonder what shifts might end up suiting me best in those. My current fairway has an adila blue 70g regular flex that’s I have enjoyed a lot. Will see what the fitter says, but I’m open to suggestions! Maybe the hazardous smoke 5.5?

I am so glad I stumbled across this channel. It provides informative videos that are relevant and easy to understand. Until the cost of graphite shafts come down, i don't think you will see a big move into them for irons. As an example, I bought a new set of Callaway MBs this year with the KBS Tour V which list at $1300. I also bought a Callaway XForged UT with the Aerotech Steel Fiber shaft which I love. If I had gotten the irons with the Steel Fiber shaft, the cost of the irons would have been $1780. When you are looking at adding $500 to an already expensive set of irons, it makes it very hard to justify.

Great video gents! A video idea I had was to test different steel shaft profiles from the same company at the same stiffness. For instance, taking the Project X Rifle, LZ, and PXi all at the same stiffness, 6.5 or 7.0, which ever fits Matt the best. Would be interesting to see what effect different shaft profiles can have.

Got them surplus off of ebay but only had the graphite option. been thinking of getting fitted for a long time and at a larger chain store the salesmen said he would never put me in a graphite shaft because of my swing speed. I doubt they have the options a club fitter would have so I will be sure to be open minded when i do get fitted. Thank you!

Finally guys! Thanks so much TXG...Graphite v steel and tipping v butt trimming explained, at the definitive level. Used a ladies graphite iron years ago just in practice because there was nothing else in another country. I mashed every shot to pin seeking accuracy. No one could explain back then but I supported its validity for men, to ridicule. Tipping has been a struggle to comprehend. No data available or expertise very rare. I suspect shaft width needing moreso for hands. Stiffness or less flex may produce better feel of the club head, without swing weighting the head ....so much. What could be the gauge comparison for stiffness gained or lost with tipping v butt trim?

The results were terrific and I am loving my new Srixon irons with the Accra graphite shafts. Hitting my irons longer than ever, with much better feel and dispersion. A bit more pricey than I expected but absolutely have no regrets. Thanks Ian!

Returned to the game after a long (essentially 25 year) lay off. Got fit into irons with DG120 S300 shafts, in part because back in the day I hit DG S300 shafts - still 30 years old in my mind. Working with a teacher and getting my swing back but have started having left elbow issues. Since my swing has changed (was very steep before starting lessons), I decided to have another fitting w/Club Champion specifically to explore graphite shafts. Ended up fitting into a SteelFiber i95 in regular flex, and moved the head from 1 degree up to 1 degree flat since my swing is now much less steep. Looking forward to gaming them but even during the fitting it felt like my elbow was getting much less stress. Thanks for helping to teach an old dog new tricks...

I use my hands a lot for work and recently got fitted and expressed how I have early signs of arthritis and get tennis elbow when I practice a lot with steel shafts in my irons. They recommend the recoil SmacWrap which dampens vibration another 65% than your average graphite. Ignoring my hand and elbow situation for any golfer you have advantages of extra feel due to the minimal vibration. I never hit any irons so constantly in distance and direction in my life. A big upgrade in iron tech for me as well in my fitting but graphite is a huge game changer for feel, consistency and ability to practice more without numbness from constant vibration from steel shafts. It’s shocking that more people don’t look more into it and I think this video will convince open minded golfers. This channel has great content and informative feedback on golf. Thank you 🙏🏼

Hi Ian and Matt - another great conversation. Ian you made a point about shaft profiles and wedges - I play Steelfiber i95's in regular (3 to PW) and have bought PXG wedge heads (used) in 50/54/58. I was intending to shaft the 50 the same as my PW - and go lighter/softer in the 54 & 58 - you mentioned 8 iron shafts - I assume they would be trimmed to length from the butt only to retain the length of the parallel tip?

When I say performance I’m talking about a distinct kick, just prior to impact , where I can actually feel the shaft doing it’s job. I’m curious about what’s going on because I don’t get that sensation with any other club. Sounds like a visit to TXG would be in order.

Switched to graphite for the first time w/Mizuno p225. Absolutely the best move for me. The shafts feel excellent compared to steel - tested them all. I have decent swing speeds and the shafts do reduce vibration.

Recently switched to Recoil on my new PTX pro. Never go back to steel. Give it 5 years and probably won’t see many steel shafts in Irons. Just like with Drivers.

@Chaz Carrington I don't think you need to change flex. Graphite keeps same flex at lighter weight

Great video guys and really interesting as always. I recently got fitted for new irons and with 7 iron swing speed of 81mph changed from stiff to regular flex. My new shafts are also lighter which in my opinion is the most noticeable change and feel so much better. Do you think the shaft weight is as important or even more important in a fitting process. Used to play graphite shafts in a set of Big Berthas back in I think 96 and thought they were great (very expensive at £1000 a set even then) lol

Shaft weight can play a significant role in a players' performance and consistency, absolutely.

Fascinating. I have never been one to hesitate using graphite shafts after my very first two iron sets (hogans, xxio) many many moons ago even as a young man then. While now no choice given slower swing speed ever since even that time I found graphite to be better and more reliable. So really interesting that it jas not taken off. As you intimated it will also probably take some of the top young stars to be making the switch for it to become more of a norm and this perhaps even bring down prices as a result through volume demand. Thought the explanation that related to stiffness and bend very helpful and gives me something specific to ask and ho back to my fitter with. In my recent iron fitting nothing like this was mentioned or explained in why he chose a particular shaft for me. Fortunately it seems to work though whether there might have been a better configuration or not I will not know till the next time. I appreciate and respect the fact that you dont charge and keep an ongoing relationship with clients for tweaks and adjustments. I really wish others started to follow this example.

Hi again Ian and Matt not only did I win the wedges I now feel like a film star after getting mention in this video Joking aside another very informative video, I’ve always looked on graphite iron shafts been for elderly people but after watching this obviously 🙄 not especially how well Matt hit them.

I realize this was about comparing the two shaft materials but it had me wondering about weight.....I had my driver shaft shortened by cutting from the butt end down a little years ago. I’m curious if weight or weight “feel” of the driver after the customization should be considered? I have played around with some stick on weights but have not had the shaft really measured to what the swing weight is. I hit it well but was always curious. Would adding weight on irons be something people do if they needed a certain “feel” after or if they shortened them as well? Same question for Graphite or steel. Thank you for the great videos👍🏻

the thought of vibration dampening now has me considering graphite in my next set of irons!
