What Are The Benefits Of Using A Stiff Flex Golf Club Shaft Versus A Regular Flex One?
That first answer doesn’t help you. Here are some facts for you:
Knowing you swing speed is important in deciding what shaft to use. As far as swing speed, if you are under 110 mph but over 100 mph, then you need a stiff flex. Less than 100 you need regular flex, and more than 110 you need extra stiff flex.
As far as the differences, the stiff flex is designed to snap through the ball in ideal timing with a swing between 100 and 110 mph, regular 90-100, x-stiff 110-120. Again, knowing your swing speed with a driver is important.
The stiff isn’t designed to not damage as easily, they are all pretty equal as far as that goes. They will all break if mis-hit, or consistently swung at high speeds. For example, I am a competing long driver, I use an XXXX-Stiff shaft, my swing speed is around 140-145 mph, and the shafts I use only last about 2-4 weeks of consistent use before they break.
I worked at a golf course as a pro for some time, and built many clubs, my suggestion to you would be to go and get fitted for a driver, the difference is amazing, and you will know your swing better for future reference. Hope that helps.

The shaft flex is the most important consideration for the golf swing. As was pointed out by previous people who answered, the flex should complement the swing speed which is peculiar to you. Usually, the higher the swing speed the stiffer the shaft. The technology of today gives a player several variations of shaft flexes which were not available to me in my better golfing years. If you are contemplating purchasing a new set of woods or irons or both ,visit the golf pro who is the better club fitter. You will be more than pleased with the result.
I use a stiff regular shaft in my driver. It means it wont damage as easy, and you can hit the ball much further, as the shaft isn’t as whippy as a regualr flex one. However, you’ll have to release the club more becuase a regular flex releases itself more due to it being more whippy, so it depends upon your ability on a whole.
If you swing speed is so fast that you tend to leave a regular flex shafted drive out to the right or have trouble being consistent then a stiff flex shaft will help you straighten it out.
Simple. Depends on your swing speed
