Wondering what is more durable, shaft or club head?

[elivate]

Generally speaking, would a shaft "outlive" the driver head?

I never had problems with the shaft in my fairway woods or drivers - but i managed to kill 2 fairway heads and one driver head so far. So i guess the shafts are more durable.

I have had the exact opposite be true. I have broken graphite 2 shafts and never even dented a driver head. One of the shafts was a Graffalloy Blue Stiff shaft that I had in my driver. I just hit the ball one day and it snapped off right at the head. I took it to the Pro Shop and they stuck that shaft into my 3 wood. I love my Stiff three wood now and I have not had any other problems with the shaft since. The other shaft that I broke was on a Wal-Mart driver that I had been using for about 8 years before it broke.

My guess would be the shaft. The clubhead has very thin walls.

When my irons still had graphit shafts in it - i killed half of them within 4 months (i hit a lot of balls). But i never had problems in that time with my shafts in the woods.
