Aerotech SteelFiber Graphite Iron Shaft - Parallel

Aerotech SteelFiber Graphite Iron Shaft - Parallel Tip

The Aerotech SteelFiber Graphite Iron Shaft - Parallel Tip is a revolutionary hybrid shaft that blends the lightweight, vibration-dampening properties of graphite with the stability and precision of steel. With more PGA Tour wins than any other graphite iron shaft, the SteelFiber series, endorsed by players like Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker, offers golfers of all levels enhanced distance, accuracy, and comfort. The parallel tip (.370") configuration requires tip and butt trimming to fit specific clubs, making it ideal for custom builds or single-length iron sets.

• SteelFiber Technology: Over 59 miles of steel fiber (1/10th the diameter of a human hair) wrap a filament-wound graphite core, preventing shaft ovaling for exceptional radial consistency, delivering steel-like control with graphite’s reduced vibration for a smoother, less fatiguing feel.
• Variable Weight Options: Available in multiple weights (55g–125g), catering to diverse swing speeds and preferences, from lightweight i55 for slower swings to heavier i110/i125 for players transitioning from steel shafts, offering a familiar ball flight with enhanced distance.
• Low Torque Design: Offers low torque (e.g., ~2.5° for i95) for superior control, producing consistent flex and geometry compared to steel shafts, ideal for players seeking pinpoint accuracy and distance control.
• Flight Control (FC) Models: The FC series (e.g., FC80, FC90) features progressive tip stiffness, promoting higher launch in mid/long irons and controlled trajectory in scoring irons, perfect for players needing easier launch without sacrificing precision.

Available Models and Specifications:

• Models: i55, i70, i80, i95, i110, i125, FC80, FC90
• Weights: 56–125g (e.g., i55: 56–58g, i80: 85g, i95: 95g, FC90: 95g)
• Flexes: Senior (A), Regular (R), Stiff (S), X-Stiff (X) (varies by model)
• Tip Diameter: .370” (parallel tip, requires tip and butt trimming)
• Length: Full-length (e.g., 41” for i95), trimmed to fit specific clubs (e.g., 3-iron: 40”, PW: 36.5”)
• Torque: Low to mid (e.g., i95: ~2.5°, FC90: ~2.9°)
• Launch: Mid (standard models); FC models offer higher launch in long irons, lower in short irons
• Finish: Grey/Silver

Performance Notes:

• Player Profile: Suitable for a wide range of players. Lighter models (i55, i70, i80) are ideal for seniors or high handicappers seeking higher launch and distance, while i95 and heavier models (i110, i125) suit stronger players transitioning from steel (e.g., 120g Dynamic Gold) for vibration dampening and distance gains (5–20 yards reported in long/mid irons).
• Feel and Feedback: Players note a smooth, responsive feel with significantly less vibration than steel, resembling traditional steel shafts but with graphite’s comfort. The i95, for example, feels stiffer than comparable graphite shafts, requiring careful flex selection.
• Fitting Considerations: Parallel tip shafts are single-length blanks, requiring precise tip trimming per club (e.g., 0” for 3-iron, 3.5” for PW). The i95 Stiff is comparable to Nippon Modus 120 X or Project X 6.0 in stiffness, so fitting is critical to avoid overly stiff setups
