A few months ago i put a steel s300 shaft in my Callaway Steelhead plus 3 wood. To my surprise I hit it great, now don't get me wrong I still push it or pull it but the shots don't bannana slice, duck hook. There is just not alot of movement on the ball. I hit it about 240 yards and this has almost stopped me from using my driver altogether. I wonder why does this set up work so much better, is it the increased weight or what? Next question is. Do ya'll think it would work as well in my driver? I don't mind losing distance if it will help keep it in the fairway. Pros, cons, any help please.

thanks for the replys. I will take one of my drivers and re shaft it, partly b/c like you said it is cheap to do so. UNtil then keep the replys coming.

My favorite driver is the Callaway Big Bertha SteelHead which came with the Memphis 10 steel shaft. It felt like I could do anything with it - hit some of my best drives with it. You will not regret using steel shafts. The only issue I think is distance. I was 10 years younger then and I was just killing the ball in those days. I'd like to take out my SteelHead driver and see whats the difference in comparison to my RAZR Hawk. |

I use steel in my fairway woods for the control but in the driver being the longest club in your bag made to to hit for distance I would stick with graphite. Steel shafts have a torque of 2* or less and most graphite shafts that are installed in store bought clubs are higher 3.5-4.6. So the less torque the less the club head will rotate on off center hits hitting straighter shots :)
Just go an get fitted for a driver graphite shaft that works or acts like your steel shafted wood. The do make low torque graphite shafts. |
