Steel or graphite?

Graphite is generally lighter than steel and also has a much greater shock dampening effect, therefore, the average player will hit a graphite shaft a little further than a steel shaft.

Distance may be an issue with, steel shafts that are heavier than most graphite shafts, but what is lost in distance is gained in accuracy. Steel shafts differ from graphite as they do not experience torque or the lateral twisting found in all graphite shafts.
