I am thinking about switching to graphite shafts due to arthritis in my thumbs. I have always used stiff steel shafts, and would use stiff graphite. Has anyone else made this transition, and what are the drawbacks and benefits? Thanks.

There's no issues other then swing weight. If re-shafting and wanting the same length as steel you will need to either use a lighter grip or add weight to the head, possibly both.

Have the new shafts you switch to frequency matched to what your currently using.

It will probably be more cost effective to buy new clubs.

The benefits are better shock absorption then steel.
