Steel shafts

[Open-Faced Club Sandwedge]

Hi all,

I'm thinking steel shafts when I eventually replace my terrible and old irons with a new set. I've been seeing a lot of discussions about what kind of shaft produces what kind of ball flight, so I'd like to know how steel compares to most graphite shafts in this regard. I know steel is generally stiffer and nearly always heavier, both of which sound like a plus to me since I have ample strength and a fast swing speed.

But do most steel shafts promote a lower, or higher ball flight (vs most graphite)? What other factors are influenced by shaft material? I am definitely going to get fitted before ordering the new clubs, but I wanted to learn more about the differences between steel and various graphite shafts first anyway.

Good luck with the selection!
