Will stiff graphite in the same club reduce twisting, give me less dispersion and make my shots more accurate? I know I might lose some distance, but will I lose the height, too?

&lt;p&gt;Even for average/lower swing speeds, there are lightweight metal shafts.&amp;nbsp; The choice would be mostly personal.&amp;nbsp; I liked a metal shaft better but I told the fitter I wanted them to last 6 years..&amp;nbsp; I was 61 at the time.&amp;nbsp; He asked me the odds of increasing my swing speed as I got older.&amp;nbsp; ,,,I went ahead with graphite (AD55?).&amp;nbsp; Still love the stock metal shafts in my wedges.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
