The maker can use different modulus graphites and get different flex characteristics. So, the "stiffer" shaft could be lighter weight than the "softer" shaft by using a higher modulus graphite raw material...the higher modulus stuff is stiffer, and they can use less of it. I think it is just amazing what they can make today with graphite. The aerospace industry has really had a major impact on golf shafts and fishing rods. As far as "how it will feel", I guess you will just have to try both and decide for yourself. I wish the industry had some universal agreement to standardize the different shaft flexes. It would be nice to be able to select a "regular" flex from one brand and for it to be the same as another brand's "regular" flex. But I guess that is wishful thinking.
