I've had one guy come in with a stiff shaft and I tested it. It measured out to the equivalent of a ladies’ regular flex.”

.

quite interesting.

I have a suspicion, that Stiff is perhaps Stiff-minus, since the club makers figure in the "macho factor" buying habit

And in Irons... when you are bump and run/long chip, hitting a 5 6 or 7 at half or 3/4 for effect, then the shaft flex is... ??

What strikes me as important is people saying a stiffer shaft (than needed) is more accurate. If its true, then seems thats good do you all agree?

What I also recently found interesting:
Cut my driver down 1" off the grip end. Supposed to lower swing weight, and some say decrease distance, a little bit.

For me it turns out ,my distance increased noticably!! (yay)

I have heard a club maker remark that loft and lie are often not quite in spec.
