Graphite or Steel

[iacas]

Steel is still better than graphite in irons and will probably always be true.

Bogus advice.

Cause even if you put the most expansive and best performing graphite in irons you still won't get better distance in irons and you don't need to, it's not the purpose of the irons. Unless you are a senior, lady, or kid, graphite might benefit.

Bogus advice. It's already been pointed out that several PGA Tour players use graphite in their irons. They're not "seniors, ladies, or kids" and it's not for lack of distance.

You can get better distance with graphite in drivers and woods. Moreover it's unnecessary as irons should not hit as far as woods since that's their purpose.

Bogus advice.

So distance is not an issue, and steel has lower torque and better control than graphite anyways.

Bogus advice.

That about sums it up. I leave for a day and come back to two threads - this one and one about shafts - in which this "oct411" character has shouted out all sorts of nonsense. I'm glad to see it was defeated and shown to be nonsense by other more knowledgeable members, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen, either. Our collective eyes are on you, oct411.

That was not an advice

It was an opinion, a point of view. That's the essentiality of a online forum, to have your own opinion, thanks. What a shame, I thought that you would know that by now after what, let see... 4,883 posts? The truth is that, I can care less if you agree or disagree to ANY of my opinion. If you like to spend $400+ to reshaft your irons to Graphite shafts or buy a new irons set with Graphite shafts and pay $200 or $300 more than the steel shaft version, GO RIGHT AHEAD BUDDY Waste your money, it's not my money. Like I have said. I do just fine with 15+ yr old original ZZ-lite steel shafts in my Ping Eye 2... FYI I paid less than $200 for the set and it probably plays better than 90% of the iron sets the members own on here Wait wait, are you going to rip on my old ass Ping Eye 2 irons next??? lol...

2Pac Babe, West Coast Babe, Thug Life!!!

All eyez on ME! Oh my eyes are on you, to see if there are any useful information here, if at all that is...

You seem to have missed the point - and that point was that you were not only wrong, but that because you were wrong, you were giving bad advice. Bad "facts" can be bad advice when they're given to try to answer someone's question (especially when they're asking for advice). Both Everardo and gas_can - two folks who know a helluva lot about clubfitting - called you on it.

The truth is that, I can care less if you agree or disagree to ANY of my opinion.

And I care very much about bad information being passed on to the members of this forum.

Good for you. Now kindly take this portion of the conversation offline (PMs) or drop it.

This thread has run its course.
