Bro.. how's your game???
What is your purpose to change the shaft??? That would be the first qns I think you should look at.
I jumped from a Graphite shaft to a steel shaft for my irons because
1) The graphite shaft on the Maruman set (that I was selling here previously) was more for beginners to very high handicappers.. it was whippy for me and when I try to accelerate my down swing, I don't get consistency...
2) Jumping to a R7 steel set NSPRO shaft, it was a better option for me and I achieve better control and longer distance as it could cope with higher acceleration of my down swing.
For irons, no point taking yr existing set and change the shaft... cos irons now a days are so much cheaper, you are off better getting a FULL NEW SET which have better technology, control than a set say even 2 yrs back...
Like what wildswan said, its true that the gap between steel shaft irons and graphite shaft irons are closer.... With today's technology, you can probably get a Stiff graphite shaft (lighter than steel) and yet as closely rigid as a steel shaft.
**psss... I hear the Burner irons are pretty sweet.. and price are reasonable too..
I don't think I play that well enough (not a single handicapper) or frequent enough to warrant a fitter to look at all my irons... maybe only driver or woods... but if you are playing at a low handicap to achieving a pro level, then YES, go get fitted even for your irons
For driver then to me its a whole different storry. Getting a good shaft matters as most of the 'packaged' shaft are not the best on the market... and at that kind of swing speed and power you hit a driver or wood (> irons), then a better shaft to help you control your shot is rather necessary...
Just my 2cents worth bro...

Hi all,
Just wanna check out the opinions of u guys regarding the differences between regular and stiff shafts. I was told to buy a stiff shaft by an AD, saying that since I m still young and have a fast downswing, i should use stiff shaft.
Currently also using graphite shafts on my irons, thinking of changing it to steel shafts. Any idea how much will it cost in sg? For example, NS pro or similar kind.
What are ur opinions?
Thanks!
