Graphite golf clubs are gaining popularity over conventional steel golf clubs of late. In graphite golf clubs the shaft or the long rod that connects the golf club head with the grip is made out of graphite as opposed to steel shafts used in normal golf clubs.
The essence of using graphite shaft in golf clubs in pretty simple. The lighter the golf club, the easier it is to swing and the better the swing; better is the initial distance traveled by the golf ball.
Now the magic lies in the shaft that connects the shaft and the head of the golf club and graphite shafts that weigh as less as 65 to 70 grams might reduce the weight by a decent percent as compared to the steel shaft that usually weighs between 115 to 125 grams.
Golf equipment is not universal. In other words one golfer might find graphite golf clubs far better than steel golf clubs while another could find steel golf clubs better than graphite golf clubs. A well built and strong player who already gets good coverage with steel golf clubs might not need a graphite golf club to increase the reach further.
To put it in short if a player prefers a light weight club that he can swing faster and accelerate the ball better, graphite golf clubs come in pretty handy while on contrary if the player is quite strong and capable of driving the ball harder with powerful swings, then the impact offered by steel is a gift in itself and hence steel golf clubs provide an excellent support as compared to graphite golf clubs to such players.
