Steel shafts have been an industry standard for more than 100 years but, frankly steel is old technology that reached its performance limit a long time ago. Just as graphite shafts replaced steel in the driver and wood categories, the new composite technology featured in SteelFiber iron shafts is emerging on the pro tours and its winning, says Aerotech Golf President Chris Hilleary. By combining micro-thin steel fibers and high-modulus graphite, we have created iron shafts that significantly increase clubhead speed, reduce fatigue and provide greater vibration dampening, while also providing steel-like accuracy and stability. Its a winning combination that has made history on the PGA TOUR and were seeing a real movement to composites now.
SteelFiber technology is the latest true engineering advancement to make a significant impact on the pro tours. Players of all skill levels are switching to SteelFiber iron shafts because of the unique playing characteristics and outstanding performance.
Delivering the power of graphite and the stability of steel, SteelFiber composite shafts provide superior performance through innovative composite engineering that combines a high-modulus graphite core with 59 miles of steel fiber lacing the shaft surface. While the shafts graphite core provides vibration dampening, increased clubhead speed and maximum distance, the steel fibers produce optimum weighting for a solid feel through impact and add stability and control for pinpoint accuracy. Originally developed for irons the SteelFiber technology now enhances the performance of hybrids, fairway woods and drivers.
