https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/team-titleist/f/golf-clubs/20453/putter-shaft Lately, I&#39;ve seen on tour some pros using putters with a graphite shaft instead of steel. I was wondering why and/or what it does if anything. en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/thread/90107?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 22 Mar 2013 12:24:39 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:898a7144-d683-4c04-8ae5-b397067c02d5Chris92009<p>Scotty has used graphite shafts for years and they are more about the look and in some cases a softer feel with lighter over all weight (stronger/more athletic players usually prefer a heavier club).&nbsp; Their is also a smoked color steel shaft some people have used but that is purely cosmetic.&nbsp; I guess to answer your question it is personal preference...most use it for cosmetics though...</p> <p>Just my two cents...</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/thread/90056?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:49:12 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:72eadba6-7dd2-45de-97b9-afe597fb2238Ken W<p>Most likely it is a black nickel coated steel shaft. Coated steel shafts have been around forever but have really exploded in the last 4-5 years. Scotty has been using them a lot more recently as they look fantastic with the deep black Select heads.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/thread/90022?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 20 Mar 2013 23:49:41 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:032f75fd-f4d1-484b-b3a0-a80ae33b6a73Norris<p>Good question Gus M. I haven&#39;t noticed this, but I&#39;ll start paying more attention to it. Also, sometimes the sun, or camera angle makes some shafts look black like a graphite shaft. I&#39;ve noticed this sometimes when a Pro player hits an iron shot, and I thought, that&#39;s unusual for a pro to be playing graphite shafts in his irons, but if the camera gets another angle, the shaft turns out to be steel. Just a thought.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
