Ask what a stiff shaft from one manufacturer has in common with a stiff shaft from another and the conversation tends to stop rather quickly, because the honest answer is not very much. Shaft flex is one of the few specifications in golf equipment that looks standardised and is not, and the gap between what the letter on the shaft suggests and what the shaft actually does is bigger than almost anyone assumes at the point of purchase.</p>
