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.
