Can graphite shaft golf clubs break easily?
Some people say graphite shafts break easily and some say they don't? What is the real answer?
It depends. If you treat them poorly, yes, they break easy. The tiny fibers inside the shaft have micro-breaks every time you apply force to them. It's rather insignificant if the club is treated properly, but if you're constantly slamming them down, or hitting things other than a golf ball (like hitting a shot fat, whacking your club on a tree or tee marker) you can expedite the process.
Also look out for bag wear. It's a removal of the paint and polyurethane layers at the point where the shaft comes into contact with the lip of your golf bag. Some bags have a fur-like lining there, so it wouldn't be much of an issue. The ones that don't can definitely wear on the shaft. If those two layers are removed, the graphite fibers become exposed. It is possible that continual friction caused by the bag can sever those fibers, causing premature shaft failure.
