I get this question almost everyday...what flex should I hit? My answer is always that...it depends. The technical variables involved such as swingspeed, shaft load, swing weight, kickpoint or profile are often obscured by the fact that there is no industry standard for flex. One manufacturer's stiff flex is another manufacturer's regular flex. There are even variances within manufacturer's between different models, so...it depends. The goal is to create a consistent feeling and performing SET of clubs. Remember, each club is a tool designed for a specific job, some need to hit the ball high to land soft while others need to produce a more penetrating flight for maximum distance and roll out.
I always say that rules of thumb are only good for measuring thumbs, but this one seems to hold pretty true. You will gain the most balanced performance from playing the most flexible shaft that YOU CAN CONTROL. Control is the key here, hitting the ball 300 yards doesn't do you much good if you're taking a penalty drop afterwards!
