Several makers have graphite shaft for irons from 95 gm. to 115 gm. some are -very- expensive.
There was a period of time which I suffered from pain in the hands and the shoulders, knees and feet. Not only my golf game suffered, I had difficulties handling some of the heavy chores around the house.
In my case, the urine acid level was very high, caused several episodes of gout attack.
My wife had changed my diet, modified to the point I could still have food like steak and bacon and eggs,, lamb chop..... just not as often as it was. Consumption of wines and alcoholic beverages cut down to special occasions only. Oatmeal is your friend.
My physician prescribed Allopurinol to help lower the urine acid level. Also changed my high blood pressure meds from a Beta blocker to Losartan, an older form of high blood pressure meds that has less side effect.
3 years later the urine acid level is under control and the pain and swelling in the joints are unnoticeable.
My golf game is back where it was 10 years ago.
When you do your annual physical, ask to have a full spectrum with the blood test. Most M.D. will only order a partial spectrum with the blood test. "You could have a better quality of life" quote from my physician if you know what you're dealing with.
