Using a stiff flex shaft keeps the clubface stable through impact, resulting in more accurate shots and a lower more controlled ball flight. Allowing golfers with faster swing speeds to maximise distance while maintaining control.

Stiff flex wedges can work well for longer approach shots, particularly for golfers with faster swing speeds who take full swings with their wedges. The added stability in the shaft can help maintain accuracy and control when hitting full wedge shots from longer distances.

Stiff flex wedges can feel slightly firmer and less flexible, which may make them harder to use for golfers with slower swing speeds. However, for players with faster swing speeds, stiff flex shafts can actually improve consistency by reducing excess shaft bending through impact.

Stiff flex shafts are designed for golfers with faster swing speeds, offering less bend during the swing for added stability and control. Wedge flex shafts are typically slightly lighter than stiff flex shafts but with the same flex, ultimately they're pretty similar but stiff flex shafts are considered better for full shots.
