Today, Mikey is in the bay testing out iron shafts as the boys take their favourite 4 Steel shafts and put them head to head against their favourite 4 graphite shafts.
Let’s see if the difference is of considerable size when comparing a steel vs graphite.

No LA Golf A series fellas? would have liked to see that, I know L series is 120g but A series make a 105g.
Great Test. Love Mikey working hard in the bay. Was there any info on ball flight specifically height?
Looked like conclusion focused on spin and strike would love to see flight and peak.
always surprised when these steel vs graphite irons shaft comparisons come out that you don't include the LA Golf stuff. I just remember the Drew Cooper iron video and what that LA Golf Shaft did for him.
I really like MMT. Highly recommend.
So much product to compare! Was a little surprised not to see LAGOLF in this test but good work!
love to see mikey's happy smile!
Mikey is a machine
Do you sometimes find people who do better with lighter swing weights like C9?
Are KBS TGI and PGI still considered good graphite shafts for irons? Srixon offers them in custom but no Axiom yet…
I want to try axiom so bad. Golf is too expensive lol
I went from Project X LZ to MMT this year. Was able to drop shaft weight from 120 to 105 in x flex which led to a little more speed. MMT launched lower and brought spin down about 400 rpm as well. I’m sold on graphite
What about KBS
If you don't feel the club head the swing weight is off!
Accra TZi 115 tipped 2" = perfection
love this kind of videos.
Pro at my course used an optimizer for me, ending up with 4 shaft options and I went with dynamic gold 105 and it definitely made a difference for me (kbs tour) was original shaft in my 23 p790s
To not include LA is crazy .. it’s the best graphite iron shaft
Sent the old man for an iron fitting (retro, wanted to keep the Zx5MKII heads) and to SGGT. Explicitly requested he try plenty of graphite and get over his bias/ego. To my surprise he came away with the old pink panther, Autoflex 50 gram and the transformation in strike and ball flight has been remarkable. Making me think I need to book myself in and keep an open mind
Any reason why you didn’t try LAB graphite
I went with Steelfiber shafts this year. I love 'em.
I had major hand surgery in 2000.
A torn muscle reattached in 2006.
Graphite allowed me to continue playing.
Uggh just switched modus 105 reg 923 forged to zx combo dart 105s. Liking zx so far though
What about the LA Golf shafts
Mikey!!! One handed finish then doubled up on the next swing with a zero/zero!! With no glove!!! Great to see you back. Swing looks good. My Liege, sorry to see you go. Whenever you guys end up I’ll be watching. Great video.
Have you made swing changes? You use to swing pretty good from out to in. Now you are pretty neutral. Nice work!
Titleist t150, what head?
Started playing graphite iron shafts in 2003. Currently playing Apex21 with Accra i70. They get the job done
Accra TZi was definitely his best performing shaft.
MMT 105 TX soft stepped once… absolutely amazing! Also I can agree with Mikey, anyone playing the modus but may want to move to graphite, I’d highly recommend the mmt. For me it was seamless and I’m so glad I made the change. As someone that been in construction for over 25 years, it’s nice not to take the beating you sometimes get with steel
I installed the PX IO shafts in my Zx7mkII irons – best shaft I've ever played.
I switched to KBS graphite in my irons last yr and will never go back to steel. Better feel for me. Consistency is a non factor comparatively to steel. There was no discernible difference. Granted I don't have excessively high swing speed so that's factor. Flight is better and far less stress on the joints. Something I had doubted but found out it's a truth.
I went to the Modus 120’s this year (from Project X) and not looking back. Absolutely love the feel of the Modus.
1 handi. Switched to graphite iron shafts last yr. MMT’s. Best decision i ever made.
As a player, I've found that looking at the descriptions of the shafts on the maker's website is interesting. Some shafts are better fitted to smooth tempo, others aggressive, some shafts launch higher and/or spin more, some less. There's so much more than weight and stiffness! It does give me a little pause when thinking of ordering DTC irons because there are so many shaft options to choose from and my current choice might not be the best with a different head.
Did they say what the loft & iron is ? I didn't hear or see it on screen. Would be nice to reference for swing speed
Man I am going to miss the camaraderie of you two when Ian Leaves so fun to watch!
I just got fitted for a shaft for my ai smoke triple diamond driver. I hope to hit it as well as I got fitted for it.
Mikey to the tax man during an audit, "it's for the customers".
I recently pulled my MMT 105s and put in a set of the accra green in 125g. I've had 3 consecutive 40-point stableford rounds in my club comps since changing. So happy with them. Amazing feel.
Would love to see a blind test. Try to take out any bias towards shaft brand.
I present too much loft at impact; ended up with Axiom shafts which goes along with your findings as well. Great Stuff & Always like it when Mikey swings
Good to see Mikey back and involved more. Great work on that many swings!! Interesting feedback from Mikey at the end as when he was hitting the Steelfiber, it looked like he was hitting them really well without much effort. I've tested many of the shafts used here and many others, I ended up recently switching from PX 6.0 to Steelfiber 110's still and really glad I made the switch as I was having injury issues and the switch has helped. I think it just goes to show, you really need to test yourself with your own swing as what is good for one person may not be the right thing for the next person. Enjoyed the video though… good stuff as always.
Why no Love for UST Mamiya?
Playing mmt 105tx for a year now because of pain issues. By far not as consistent as tt steal shafts with the same head and almost same weight. SS about 90mph with 7i. Feel is very good though.
Anybody have any info on the MMT105 vs the recoil dart 105 from UST? I was recently fit into the mmt but did not get to swing the darts
I played Steelfiber and loved them. But im back in steel now Project X LS
Hey guys…thanks for the great content!!! Quick question…I am setting up my home sim and would like to know how far from the screen you have the GC quad set up…..ball flight distance….Thanks!!
For me, nothing can beat the old reliable DG X100
