Are Steelfiber shafts really worth the money?

[Chuck7070]

Looking at getting a new set of irons. Just wondering is it’s the worth the money to put steelfiber shafts in them.

I have them in each of my irons. Mine are i80-R. I've been playing these shafts in my Wishon 771csi irons for about 4 years. First non steel shafts I've ever play in irons. I love the feel and I attribute that to the combination of the shafts and the custom build of my irons. They are a little pricey I suppose but the overall quality of the build my fitter did made it all worth it to me. And yes... I'd buy Aerotech steelfiber again.

I currently play Aerotech Steelfiber I110 CW Stiff. I am not a typical graphite player by any means. My swing speed is around 108-110mph with a driver. I find they play very similar in performance to steel shafts, but feel a little bit better. They spin a little more and launch a little lower and get a little more distance.  They do play a half flex stiffer than the stated flex, so mine play like Stiff plus. As a fairly fast swing and pretty decent ball striker, I find them worth the price, and they are not just for your slow swinger who needs graphite. They really are a steel/graphite blend.

Here is a blog article on them, where they compare them to common steel shafts:

I had them in my Z545 irons and I really liked the feel. Dispersion wasn’t great with them, but I also “fitted” myself for them. If you find the correct weight and stiffness, and they’re better performance-wise than what you’re playing now, they’re definitely worth the money.

This is gonna sound cliche, but the only way they are worth the money is if they are the right fit for you.  Are they a quality shaft? Absolutely, well made and offer a great performance and feel for the right person.  So do a lot of other shafts though.

They could be $5 a shaft but if they make you shoot higher scores then they aren't worth it.  On the flip side if they fit you great and can shave a few strokes off each round then I'd absolutely pay the money.

Exactly!

However I think the question may be are they worth exploring. The answer is yes but don’t guess be sure to be fit into the proper one and flex. If you don’t spend that little extra for the fitting then you may end up disappointed.

I absolutely love mine. However I had another set of them in a set of irons that didn’t fit - I picked them up on eBay. Big mistake - I did recoup most of my money by reselling them.

I don't play the SteelFiber but I play the Xcaliber version, the TourX. I've had some tendon issues in my elbows so I needed to do something to get some relief. And to me, they're worth every penny. Great feel, great performance, and relief for my elbows. My one wish with them is that they came in a heavier weight, but the SteelFibers take care of that.

They are worth every penny if they improve your game and saves on your joints to play longer.

I love mine, no need to bother re-writing everything already stated. 

Get fitted to make sure you get the right ones.

I had them in a set of Bridgestone J40 DPC's....really wish I would have kept those shafts....best iron shafts I have ever hit.

Anything is worth the money if it helps. There’s just a cost to improvement ratio. I love the OBAN steel shafts, but I don’t see them being $50 per club better than my C-Tapers. They will help, but for how much I play, I can’t justify it.
