The player, who is somewhere between forty and sixty and is the kind of recreational golfer who plays twice a week in summer and reads the equipment pages of the magazines in winter, sits down on the bench, looks at the rack of demo heads, and tells the fitter that he wants steel shafts. The fitter, who has done this conversation about four thousand times, asks why. The player, who has not had this question asked of him in roughly the same number of pro shops, says that graphite is for older players, and that he is not quite ready for graphite yet. The fitter, who knows what the launch monitor is about to show, nods and hands him a demo iron with the steel shaft the player asked for.</p>
