Graphite iron shafts and swingweight
Posted on 10/29/24 at 9:13 am

I remember graphite shafts use to play 1/2" longer than standard length and it had to do with swingweights.
My question is, now that graphite shafts are similar weights as steel (multiple weight options in the 110-115 gram range), do they still need to be a half inch longer?
I gravitate towards standard to half inch under standard and my joints really appreciate Steelfibers.

I play Mitsubishi MMT Shafts and they are standard length.

Swing weight and length can all be customized to your specs when you go to order. If you want a 37" 7i, they will make you one graphite or steel.

I guess what I am asking is if I decide to reshaft with graphite and the weights of the shafts are comparable, will the swingweight stay the same (ish) if I play the graphites in standard length?
To me, it would because there's no real change in weight... just material.

Oh, now I understand. The answer is not necessarily. Total weight may be the same, but weight distribution throughout the shift can be different which will cause a change in swing weight.
I learned the hard way this year that the grip weight can change swing weight. I guess the best way tot do it would be to try 1 clubs and see how the swing weight is affected. You might get lucky; however, I doubt it. Ive been told by club builders that it never works out without adding a lot of weight on one end or the other.

Get fitted and they'll do whatever it takes to get the best shafts for your swing matched up to your needs.
