I plan to replace a broken shaft on a 25+ year old Ping Eye2 5 iron. Should I reshaft the entire set of irons? I know that cost is a factor but what are other pros and cons?

@Adam C is very knowledgeable on this stuff.

In my opinion you should reshaft the whole set. I think that some of the newer shafts on the market do a better job helping us (to put it nicely) less skilled golfers out more. Shafts like True Temper Elevate or Nippon Modus, do a nice job blending the benefits of weight and ball flight like graphite and the consistency that steel provides.

As others have said, there are many more options now for shafts. Those old Ping shafts were very heavy and stiff and you may want to look at something lighter and or more flexible. New shafts will run between $20-$40 each for high end steel. Figure around $25 per club to have someone else install. Though, those Eye2s are pretty simple to do yourself if you wanted to tackle that project.

No need, steel shafts last a lifetime unless damaged. But if you can't match the shaft precisely, then replacing them all may be the better option.
