Please respond only if you have used both steel and graphite shafts in irons, AND you are a decent golfer (5 handicap or less).
I am a scratch golfer, but I feel like distance control and accuracy with my irons could be better. I currently have Nike Forged Pro Combo irons with GRAPHITE shafts. My home course plays 7500 yards in Colorado and I usually hit 50% of the greens. I chose to get graphite shafts because my home course is so long, but how much accuracy do you think I am sacrificing? Would the trade-off of distance for accuracy be worth getting fitted for new irons with steel shafts? If so, what are some models you think I should try out?
Other info:
I like to shape my shots.
I am not a very long hitter, so distance is fairly important to me. I hit my driver around 310 yards (probably 290 at sea level) and my 5-iron distance is 215 (200 at sea level).
All par 3's at my home course are over 200 yards, and there are a few holes that require long carries from approach shots.
