This article dwells into the importance of the golf club shaft

in the game, and lists the most important considerations.



Steel or Graphite Golf Club Shaft?



The two most important parts of the golf club which can spell

the difference between winning and losing are the head and the

shaft. The shaft of the golf club connects the grip to the head.

Most modern golf club shafts are made of either steel or

graphite.



Most manufacturers rate their shafts in one of six degrees of

stiffness. From least to most stiff these are: Ladies (L);

Seniors (A); Regular (R); Firm (F); Extra Firm (X); and Stiff

(S).



Most golfers prefer a shaft that is stiffer, and manufacturers

can only oblige. If you make the shaft super stiff, however, you

can begin to affect distance and strength negatively.



Then theres the difference between steel and graphite golf

shafts. Generally, if you have back problems or not very

confident with the strength of your swing or drive, you should

stick with the graphite variety.



Graphite golf club shafts reduce the weight of your club (you

can really feel the difference if youve used steel shafts

before). They weigh between 50-85 grams, while their steel

counterparts generally start at 120 grams. Graphite shafts

reduce the shock at impact. They also allow for longer clubs.

But remember, longer clubs are good for distance, not for

control.



Aldila graphite shafts are highly recommended. Their durability

is proven. If youre the type who prefers steel shafts, the most

reliable brands are FM Precision, True Temper and Apollo. They

are proven toughies in their class.
