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.
