Whatever. There is no doubt that we all get more distance with
graphite clubs-- for the same swing--at least 10 more yards for the
middle irons and maybe more with 2-4 irons. If you have a strong
classic finish to your swing, i.e. do not decelerate before impact,
you will get super distance as well as sufficient directional control.

I think that most amateurs who miss erratically do so because they
decelerate-- they fail to make a full turn and transition forward--and
hit off their back foot. They cast and the bottom of their OTT swing
arc is in the middle or even behind the middle of their stance.
Their tiny divot points to the left-- across their body- indicating an
out-to-in clubhead path. They don't make a classic finish.

And then they blame the clubs.

Larry posted video's of his swing. He needs the graphite for extra
distance.
