You may have noticed that many golfers have graphite shafts in their irons but steel ones in some, or all, of their wedges, so let’s examine the differences. Graphite is more expensive but lighter, so you can generate more clubhead speed but they also tend to have more torque, or twisting. Because they can be swung faster, they tend to produce greater swing speed and therefore distance. Steel shafts are less expensive, have less torque or lateral twisting, and tend to hit the ball slightly less far but they do give better vibrational feedback through the hands. They are also more consistent and stable. As a general rule of thumb, if you are a relative novice, or have a slower swing speed, think of graphite, otherwise, you will probably want to consider steel, which is where this Cleveland CBX Full-Face Tour Satin Steel option comes, being available with metal shafts. Lofts are available in two-degree increments from 50-60 and the clubface is one of the largest around, which does give a bit of confidence.
