be longer - lasting than other types. The steel shaft may also give you
more control over those fast swings. If you choose a graphite stock, it
will be lighter than steel but will be more costly. This type of club is
used for long distance shots or for slower swingers.

handle with greater flexibility. The average swing speed is from 65 miles
per hour for the beginner up to for 100 miles per hour for powerful
swingers.
