I want to reshaft my callaway x-18 steel shaft clubs to graphite what would be the best shaft to use?

If you want a high quality shaft, you should look along the lines of UST, Grafalloy, Aldila or Mitsubishi. I cannot tell you which one you should get because I do not know your game/age/ability etc. The best thing to do is to go get custom fit and try out a few different shafts. Nearly all shafts have different kick points and produce different launch angles. The problem with Callaway clubs though is that shafts go through the head to the bottom of the club, some Golf shops may actually shy away from fitting new shafts to these.

Whats the difference between a graphite and a steel shaft for golf clubs?
Graphite shafts transmit fewer vibrations up the shaft to the golfer's hands than do steel shafts. This might be good or bad, depending on your skill and your desire. You might want that added feedback that steel shafts offer - or you might be tired of your hands stinging so much on mis-hit shots. The biggest and by far most important difference between steel and graphite shafts is this: graphite shafts are lighter than steel shafts. So clubs that have graphite shafts will be lighter than otherwise identical clubs that have steel shafts. The difference in weight between graphite shafts and steel shafts will translate, for most golfers, into an additional 2-4 mph of swing speed with graphite. And that could mean an extra 6-12 yards of distance with a graphite shaft, compared to a steel shaft. Steel shafts are less expensive than graphite, so the same set of clubs will cost less with steel shafts than with graphite shafts. Steel shafts were once considered much more durable than graphite.

Will a stiff graphite shaft be similar to a steel shaft?
The companies that make shafts for golf clubs will have a specification listed on the shaft itself such as "Stiff" of "Juniors". We call it "Flex". The flex standard may be the same on a graphite or steel shaft made by one company and nearly the same as made by another company. It is kind of like sizes for cloths. Both graphite and steel shafts come in "Stiff" flex. Companies may use the word "Mens" in place of "Stiff" or "Juniors" in place of a "not so stiff" shaft. Consult with your local Golf Coach or Golf Professional and they can explain more about the flex in a shaft or other things like "kick points" in a shaft.
