Question:

steel shafted fairway woods...?

So I want to get my 3+ wood shafted with a dynamic gold shaft because i need a stiffer shaft but dont want to spend much on it.I've never swung a steel shafted wood, but I hear that it is more consistent that graphite....Plus, since the cost of steel is only $15 compared to the $65 graphite, not to mention installation charges.So yeah...... How good is steel for fairway woods?BTW, my swing speed is about 95 but i can amp it up to 110 (with control, that is)

Answer:

i take advantage of a three timber off the tee while a motive force could bypass in the process the fairway on a dogleg, or while the fairway gets narrower the further you hit it. Use it to get as close to to a par 5 in 2 as i will, or perhaps even attain a par 5 in 2. Use it to make up floor in case you permit out a rigidity, every time the photos demands me to hit it between 220 and 235 it quite is approximately how some distance I hit my 3 timber. I additionally carry a 5 timber which I hit approximately 2 hundred to 215 and extremely severe so it lands comfortable. i do no longer carry any hybrids regardless of the undeniable fact that as I nevertheless like to hit long irons.
There are very few people who hit steel shafted fairway woods. Tiger Woods used to have a steel shafted 3 wood but went to graphite because it didn't feel right because of his driver. Go get custom fit for a shaft and see if a steel shaft is good to make sure because you don't want to turn aroung a get a graphite shaft anyway if the steel shaft doesn't work. Go with whatg works the first time so you don't put out more money later.
If your club has a graphite shaft in it and you want to switch to steel an option is to get a dynamic gold lite shaft. The other option is to make sure you trim the shaft to the 42 length with the gold shaft to lighten up the swing weight. You can get away with about 42 3/4 with the lite shaft. I have found steel to be very consistent in my fairway woods and don't think I'll ever go back to graphite. I have mine cut to 42 1/2 for the 3 wood and 41 1/2 for the 5 wood with Dynamic gold s300 and they're fine.
