I’m going to try not to say “get fit”.

Each of us will have a different club head speed, transition style, and angle of attack.

Distance dispersion, launch angle, and peak height can be maximized so that the descent angle for each iron will hold a green in a similar manner. Head selection and shaft characteristics all come into play.

In general, the steel fiber and fully graphite shafts work at the typical slower swing speeds of the senior golfers better than steel shafts. Although the lighter weight steel shafts can still work for some. The T200/T350 heads generally are more appropriate than T150/T100 as well.

Trying to use what works for other golfers and guess works for me has always been a huge mistake. Hence I work with pros that can test me with various options to optimize the equipment for me. I’m long past 65, so I have lightweight graphite shafts with variable weighting so the 9 iron and 6 iron maintain the same feel.

Do not play Sr shafts. Am 77, go to my fitter when it is time for an upgrade and he finds the shaft that works best with the new head. Recommend talking to a fitter in your area. They are the experts in this area.

Hi Chuck, Thanks for your post, but I couldn’t disagree more I’m sorry sir. Purely by fluke, I discovered Graphite Design Seniors flex shafts at the driving range. I started hitting a random seven iron and suddenly my shots were flying an extra club length!! WHAT? What’s going on here? Same Titleist iron head, but with a Seniors shaft, and an extra club length per iron! How cool is that? I also used to carry my clubs and the graphite shafts were so much lighter than a steel set, another added benefit. I was fifty-five when I switched over Seniors flex graphite and COULDN’T be happier. NO!!, one cannot feel the extra flex in the shaft, the seniors / amateur shafts are by NO means ‘whippy’. To each their own, but if you’re over fifty and suddenly want an extra club length back per iron, for nothing!, then please trial some seniors shafts. This is my own opinion and I’m not paid or reimbursed in any way, I have no bias or cart to push, I just LOVE Seniors flex shafts now Ive tried them. Cheers, Simon.

I don't own them but I've hit irons with both the Steelfiber and the Recoil. I would say the Steelfiber is more controllable than Recoil. You can get it in a few different configurations to fit your swing. For the money, I would want a fitter to help pick one.

I don't think you can really categorize performance based on age or gender. That's why Titleist recommends everyone do a proper fitting and use the technology of TrackMan to help you find which one works best for you. It really should not matter what the majority of senior players are using if it does not fit your swing. Good luck, and I hope you find the shaft that is right for you.

Get fit or waste money and always wonder if its you or the club! Remember no one here has seen you swing!
