Aerotech SteelFiber Graphite Iron Shaft - Taper Tip

Aerotech SteelFiber Graphite Iron Shaft - Taper Tip

The Aerotech SteelFiber Graphite Iron Shaft - Taper Tip is a game-changing hybrid shaft that combines the lightweight, vibration-dampening benefits of graphite with the stability and control of steel, making it a top choice for golfers seeking enhanced distance, accuracy, and reduced fatigue. With more PGA Tour wins than any other graphite iron shaft, SteelFiber’s unique design caters to players of all levels, from amateurs to professionals like Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker. The taper tip (.355") configuration is ideal for precision fitting in modern iron heads, offering consistent performance across a set.

• SteelFiber Technology: Features over 59 miles of steel fiber (1/10th the diameter of a human hair) wrapped around a filament-wound graphite core, eliminating shaft ovaling for superior radial consistency and delivering steel-like accuracy with graphite’s vibration dampening for a smoother feel.
• Constant Weight Design: Taper tip models maintain the same weight across all iron lengths (e.g., 3-iron at 40” to PW at 36.5”), ensuring uniform swing feel and balance for consistent performance throughout the set.
• Flight Control (FC) Option: The SteelFiber FC series (e.g., FC90, FC115) features progressive tip stiffness, delivering higher launch in mid/long irons and controlled trajectory in scoring irons, ideal for players needing easier launch without sacrificing control.
• Vibration Dampening: Reduces impact stress on hands, wrists, and elbows, making it an excellent choice for players with joint issues or those seeking to minimize fatigue during long rounds.

Available Models and Specifications:

• Models: i55cw, i70cw, i80cw, i95cw, i110cw, i125cw, FC90cw, FC115cw
• Weights: 56–125g (e.g., i55: 56–58g, i95: 95g, FC115: 115g)
• Flexes: Senior (A), Regular (R), Stiff (S), X-Stiff (X) (availability varies by model)
• Tip Diameter: .355” (taper tip, constant weight)
• Length: Discrete lengths (e.g., 40” for 3-iron, 39.5” for 4-iron, down to 36.5” for PW/wedges)
• Torque: Low to mid (e.g., i95: ~2.5°), offering control comparable to steel shafts
• Launch: Varies by model (e.g., i95: mid, FC90: higher in long irons, lower in short irons)

Performance Notes:

• Player Profile: Suited for a wide range of swing speeds. Lighter models (i55, i70, i80) benefit slower swingers (e.g., seniors or high handicappers), while heavier models (i110, i125) suit stronger players transitioning from steel shafts (e.g., 120g KBS C-Taper). The i95 is a popular middle ground, adding 5–20 yards for some players while maintaining accuracy.
• Flight and Spin: Standard models offer mid-trajectory with low torque for control; FC models provide variable launch (higher in long irons, lower in short irons) for optimized distance and stopping power.
• Feel: Players report a smooth, responsive feel with significantly reduced vibration compared to steel, with the i95 and FC90 noted for excellent feedback in irons like Mizuno JPX 919 or Titleist T300.
