I'm not Bob the Builder so bear with me! Based on my average swing speed with a driver 105-110 mph (I can hit 115!) I am in the stiff flex range, correct? My question is: The stiffer the flex given your ability to stress it when loaded (the shaft being loaded in this instance ) the greater the clubhead velocity, yes? The reason I mention this is that I have pretty good success with shafts stiffer than my range. I've got a buddy who has lead pipes in his irons? I feel like I can still stress those shafts if I am deliberate when loading, especially when hitting (sometimes I hardly feel the shaft loading when I am swinging) Thoughts?

Would like to hear some input on this also. I think it's a function of how you load the shaft. I used a V2 X-stiff (counter balanced) most of 07 but didn't hit it as far as I thought I should (my Driver SS is in that 105 - 100 range). I'm actually experimenting with an R flex now and my dispersion in the monitor and the range seems to be the same as with the X, but my distance seems to be increased (we'll see if it translates to the course). But I use a swinging motion and have pretty smooth tempo. A strong loading hitter probably has a different profile of what will work shaft-wise.
