  1. Any feedback from anyone playing the Aeotech Steelfiber i80cw shafts, I'm in between playing the Project X io 5.5 shafts and thinking of switching to the Steelfiber i80cw, been getting sore every every round lately .

    I know a few playing Aerotech Steelfiber shafts but they were properly fit for them. Just because a shaft works for one person does not make them the best for everyone. I play MMT graphite shafts due to arthritis issues, used to play the Tensei red graphite. I always work with my fitter on what I need, not what my buddies are playing. Good luck and hope you get dialed in on what fits your specific swing.

    Do you really notice a difference with the graphite shafts? I always liked the feel of irons with steel shafts, but now have arthritis in my left hand that sometimes makes it feel like somebody twisted my thumb backwards when I make contact. Next fitting I plan to inquire about the graphite options to see if it helps. Curious if you are able to get close to the same performance (with an age buffer) and reduce a bit of the pain.

    Ha! As if age isn’t the biggest variable….

    As I’ve moved to the MMT shafts with Gen 3 irons, my performance has improved, but likely more from a fitting to better match me. I’m fortunate with no serious issues with arthritis other than discomfort in my knees getting the ball out of the cup.

    I would expect with all the shaft offerings from graphite to steel fiber, you and your favorite fitter can find a combination that works as well or better than your current gamers and puts a little less stretch on your joints. No question that graphite absorbs more shock than steel. The MMT shafts would be an issue if your 7 iron head speed was 90mph. I’ll take the under on that.

    Anything to keep making the game enjoyable.
