i am a antique golfer. you did make a good buy. the wise thing would be to keep playing withy the graphite, taylor mades with graphite shafts will be a easy sell to us antiques. you should and will make a profit. steel versus graphite . at your age etc graphite disadvantage. driver only. grap shafts are longer in each iron, this will give you 5 yards more per club. also will cause inaccuracy of 7 yards. benifit to steel more accuracy. all graphite factory shafts have very low kickpoint. the ball will fly to high on solid strikes, with low kickpoint, at your age and strenghth this will be very hard to achieve. did you make a mistake graphite shafts. no, if you use for private resale. should you have gotten steel, yes. as a semi novice no big deal, as your game matures, you will find that the accuracy of steel is needed. not a problem yet easay to sell at great profit. limited trade in value. unless you want hogan pros with steel shafts. then we can continue.
