Transition from graphite to steel

[localhawaii]

Aloha,

Couldn't commit to playing a full round of golf today, so I did the next best thing and went to the range.  Actually I stopped off at the golf store and picked up a new set of clubs on the way!  :)

I've sat through a couple fittings in the past couple weeks and the recommendations I got were kbs 90's, or project x 5.5 or 6.   Ironically enough during my fittings, the stock steel stiff shafts on the burner 2.0's actually felt the best to me.  I picked those up today and hit the range and it was a real eye opener.

Going from graphite to steel my tempo was way off.  My distance with the steel shafts were a few yards shy of my graphite regular shafts ( when going loft vs loft).  Miss hits felt like jolts of electricity running up my hand into my arms and body.  And callous' started to develop on my hands where they didnt normally with my graphite irons.

Are these normal growing pains going from graphite to steel?  Or are they more associated with going from a regular shaft to a stiff shaft?  I know its the first time hitting the clubs outside of golf shop, but I am still on the fence if I made the right decision to move from graphite to steel.  Thanks everyone for any advice!
