I am going to buy my wife a set of hybrid irons, but I dont know if I should have steel or graphite shafts. Can someone explain the differences and what you would recommend for her. She has a 40 hand.

My gf just bought some Adams clubs and got the graphite shafts and she loves them. She had an older set of steel shafts and the new ones with the graphite are alot nicer for her. The biggest diff is that they are lighter.

IMO go with graphite. Plus i think most womens sets are graphite, might be hard to find steel.

graphite shafts in general are lighter, making it so you can swing them faster. They also reduce vibration so if you have arthritis they are wonderful.

steel shafts you swing a tad slower, but you have more control.

I would go graphite, lighter flex (generally) and a better launch angle (generally) for hi handicappers.
