Graphite Shafts

What is the differance between graphite and steel shafts for golf clubs?

Steel rods are stronger, less prone damage, and is generally less expensive than graphite and are made of high carbon or stainless steel. Steel rods can give more control and place greater emphasis on the precision of distance - not to suffer from less torsional flexing than graphite. They require greater swing speed to generate the same distance as an axis of graphite. Most are of enhanced design, (you know when you see them) with the diameter of the tree is thinner with each step, but can also be found 'steel trees removed - which are supposed to be more precise. Graphite is generally more expensive than steel but much lighter (about 50% longer axis and the pair, and in some cases of contradiction between the trees - the amount of this question depends on the tree. Graphite also absorbs vibration better than steel, so it tends to be less uncomfortable if you did not catch the ball softly. In general, drivers and forests are mostly equipped with graphite shafts now, like steel is remarkably heavier and slow your swing very long rod with such clubs. For the plate, although many sets come with graphite shafts, steel is still very popular. As with many things to do with golf, you get to feel and personal preference.
