Steel driver shafts are nearly all the way extinct, on the PGA Tour. Consider that at all four Majors this year -- plus the PGA Tour Players Championship -- there were absolutely no steel driver shafts in play, according to PGA Tour sources who cite the Darrell Survey. "That's unusual," says an official at one of the major graphite shaft manufacturers. "Typically we'll see one or two guys, at least, using a steel-shafted driver at a Major."

By contrast, 98 percent of the irons in play on the PGA Tour are equipped with steel shafts. And yes, some PGA Tour pros have experimented with graphite shafts in their putters, too, but really no notable players.

While on the topic of metal use, metal spikes in golf shoes are still very much in use at every PGA Tour event. Tour sources tell Equipment us that 20 to 25 percent of PGA Tour pros still have them in their shoes at every event, because they generally feel they get better footing than with alternative cleats.

Now that uou know what the pro´s use. You can ake you own destions.
