What are the pros and cons to selecting a graphite shaft sand wedge over steel shaft?
I would assume that you want to carry at least two sand wedges in your bag - the modern set makeup today will have a 52 or 54 and a 58 or 60. Unless you are getting the matching wedges to a set of graphite irons , I would go with a steel shaft in sand wedges.
The way to resolve the selection is to go with the shaft that matches the other clubs in your set. If you have steel shafted irons go with steel. You will find the similar feel when you hit shots is most important.
First question, are you guy or girl? stronger or weaker? Steel shaft gives you consistency over graphite because of the weight. For example, Tiger once used a steel shaft in his driver because steel shaft's weight gives him consistency. Key point is he can handle the weight (110g +). Same with you, steel shaft is preferred as it gives you consistency. It's also heavy enough that you can let the natural weight, aka gravity, to let you hit thru the rough, sand, etc.. key point is if you can handle the weight.
