The only difference I noticed from switching from graphite to steel was the feel of the club(seamed like the graphite shaft I could feel the weight of the club head better),and loss of distance(about 5 yards per club). As far as accuracy,could'nt really tell you to be honest, never kept stats to know for sure.

I hate graphite shafts in irons. And no, I don't see anyone under 70 play with them.

What about juniors, Ladies and quite a few men including myself and every player in my regular medal group

I don't really see how graphite shafts could be "less accurate" than steel shafts... If anybody can explain this claim I'd be interested to see it. I also don't think graphite is only for people with low swing speeds, I'm a pretty strong 6'3 190, Driver swing speed ~110 mph and have stiff graphite shafts on all my clubs except wedges because I like the feel of them, and haven't noticed any lost accuracy compared to other steel shafted irons.

      Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough.

      Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.

      Best Shot of the Week

      Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft.

      That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
