all winning their letter this fall and

II makes no difference whether
golf shafts are Of wood or steel. It
has been said that the steel shaft
10 more mechanical, giving a better
result than q wood shaft on poorly
hit ball. Having had experience
with both kinds Of shafts. cannot
find any advantage in steel over
wood. In fact, I have noticed good
many leading golfers with a mixed
set Of steel and wood -shafted golf
clubs,
Some professionals hold the view
that the steel shaft gives an advan-
tagc to thu weak hitter. They claim
that the steel shaft Is elastic and It's
recoil at the point OF contact makes
up for the slowing down OF tho CLUB
head-which fault Is prevalent
among average players. They also
claim that n light steel shaft with
, the weight of the club-centered n
the head helps the 'dubs' to Feel
the clubhead" during his swing. Bnt
the advantage. II any, Is very slight.
