I have wondered about this for a while. After time(say 1-2 years?) will a graphite/steel shaft gradually become less stiff as it impacts with thousands of balls? Just wondering because my 909's shaft doesn't feel as stiff as it was when I got it a month or so ago. It maybe just be me but I just wondered.

No way for a month. I've had my irons for 3 years, and they feel good as new. Have you grown over that time, or worked out? You possibly could have just adjusted to it. But there's no way that would happen, unless something is broken or your shafts are messed up.

Not a month. Perhaps you finally loaded it correctly, something, but a BB isnt gonna go soft after a month..

I would go out on a limb and say that if hsafts really do get soft, the average golfer will probobly get a new club before he even notices it..

Yeah I think I actually have gone through a growth spurt, and I have been working on my hip turn so maybe that is adding extra power? I did think it was my improvement over the shaft softening up. I love this driver soo much. I cannot say anything bad about it really. Yesterday I was bombing it(By my standards), I hit five 240m + drives.
