Graphite iron shafts?

[63Brummie]

Yes or no?

I have been thinking of trying some (currently using s300 Dynamic Gold) but would like to take the temperature of the WRX Brains Tust :clapping: any ideas?
Just lately I have started to develope a few sore points in my arm and elbow; this may be my swing or simply being too tense.
Any input would be most welcome.

You may want to search this topic b/c its been discussed at length with some very good points made. One discussion in particular revolved around a Q & A with an Aldila Exec.

Just put grafalloy pro customs in my bridgestone gc mids.........based on range session i seemed to have gained a little yardage.......i also demoed the ust rv2 75 irons when trying to decide...... and they were very close......i opted to pay about $10 less per shaft......overall happy so far

Hello and thanks for the reply.

Were you using s300's before the change?

Yes, I have tendonitus in both elbows and graphite shafts allow me to play consecutive days with no issues.

What about hard pan links courses?

Are you still getting the same distances and trajectory?

Graphite is just swell. Zero negative performance issues, just go quality.

you get what you pay for in graphite. I love my Javln shafts and get trajectory. As far as similar trajectory to iron shafts, depends on which ones. Graphite shafts give you many more options to try to fine tune your trajectory. Usually helps with pains in hands, elbows. Graphite lets me play and practice alot more than I ever could with steel.

Hi and thanks for the reply.

Tell me, what steel shafts were you using before you switched to graphite?

Did you just get fitted and decide GRAPHITE or were you advised?

I use to have Project X shafts and S300 shafts before I went to graphite. I do not have to swing as hard to get the ball going, and its easier for my back as well. I had 3 back surgeries, and it helps me get the swing back and keeps the lag in it longer for me. Really good, I got in the GD Tour AD at 95 and the UST Tour Protos from 2 years ago. Really nice, like said above, you get what you pay in graphite, so always go better.

Check your grip as well. People I know with tendonitis problems were able to stay with steel by switching to a softer grip that reduced the shock.

Idk if im just an "old-fashioned" person but i just dont like a graphite shaft in an iron. Ive tried the i3+ with graphite shafts and didnt like it. I like my steel lol.
