Hi gents, just wanted to get your take on this please.
Just your regular hacker here using off the rack M2 clubs in reg flex but
recently I have been messing with my old mans reg graphite nikes also off the rack.
I seem to enjoy hitting his more, I feel like with the lightness of the shafts and pehaps
flex I feel like I can square the club up more consistently over my steels.

Is this just all in my head or will I look like a weirdo on course playing graphite shafts?
Should I even entertain this or just go back to steelies? For added info I haven't seem to
have lost and distance or height in my shots, dispersion is the same if not better and the
fade that I usually play for has straightened up and even draws on occasion.

Should I just forget about what people might say and just put this into play?
Thanks in advance guys.

Just do that.

Enjoy the feeling of knowing you are a big shot playing expensive graphite shafts that other chumps can't afford.

Certainly works for me.

The vanity bag is long gone. Use whatever you're happy with.

I’ve been using steelfibers, which look like pure graphite for a year and a half now.

I’ve probably had two people comment about me using graphite.

They were two good mates and I remind that that I’m the better golfer and that is the end of the conversation.

What spec Recoil do you use Dave?

I’ve hit them once and quite liked them.

Ones that theoretically shouldn’t suit my swing speed.

They are 680 F4s. Fairly light.

They were in the irons when I bought them, I grabbed a set of PX 6.0 to replace them, but ended up liking them. Never balloon strangely enough

I’ve settled into 95S steelfibers and find the same thing. I was using 130x flex before the change.

Might seem like what ever feels best is best.

I put a set of Matrix Program 130s into some Adams XTD forged for PeteyD and he seems pretty happy with them. I have a couple more sets of these to glue up at opportunity. These are seriously heavy duty Iron Graphites. The walls are double the thickness of comparable graphites and would handle just about any swing speed I would reckon. The other heavy duty graphites to consider are Nunchuks, Blakey swears by them.

I have several Graphite shafted irons sets and find anything over 80 grams works very well. I can't handle the super light weight shafts though, the 65/75 grammers are way too light for me and I can't seem to get any feel with them.

This.

Don’t you have similar shafts to my recoils in yours?

Same original builder right?

I just picked up the Yammies with Steelfibers from Anfield.
Am really looking forward to trying them after Christmas after I set them up to my specs.

I moved from the SPB I sold you to them.

My word of advice, don’t swing any easier because they are graphite.

These shafts like to be loaded.
