The real question is do you want accuracy or distance?
If you want more accuracy and feel then go with steel shafts.
If you want more distance then go with the graphite.
Of course all of this is assuming that you would have a regular to higher swing speed or else just go with graphite.
(there are companies that claim they have found a hybrid between the two but it will be expensive to get all your irons with these shafts.) Remember that the difference is minimal especially since you just started.

You are young you need to get steel. The steel shafts are for higher swing speeds. You're going to be improving your game, getting stronger, and growing. Steel is the way to go. The people who use graphite are ladies and seniors. If you're really wanting to get serious about golf, go to a pro shop and get yourself fitted by a professional.

Everyone is going to have their own opinion, so here’s mine. I use graphite in my woods, they are lighter and more flexible and I get more distance. For the same reason, I have steel in my irons because with graphite they will be too light and I don’t want that in my shorter clubs. I want to have steel shafted irons because I’m hitting them off the ground mostly out of all kinds of lies and I want a stiffer shaft for those shots.

Steel since you're young. I'm assuming you're still growing and will get stronger. Steel shafts offer more control so you'd want them in your irons and you can use the graphite shafts in your driver/fairway woods/hybrids.

Graphites offer more distance due to more flexibility but because of this are harder to hit straight.

Steel shafts substitute distance for accuracy and are more forgiving.

You can either look at it as do you want to hit it further, or be more accurate, or which part of your game do you need to improve on most?

Depends upon your strength and club head speed. If you have natural skills in both then I believe steel to be the better shaft.However, as you get older you need some help and then graphite comes into its own.

Graphite or Steel Golf Clubs?
I’ve started golfing at my school and the seasons finally ending and I Think I’ll pick up the sport I’ve become a decent learner and am getting better. I’ve been looking to upgrade my clubs to increase my game further. So I was wondering Graphite or steel, maybe what the difference is what each offers and what each "takes away".

Thanks
