Not necessarily, it all depends on your swing speed. If you swing fast enough and stiff would be your recommended flex, you'll actually find stiff flex irons easier to hit than regular flex.

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.

Yes, although quite rare you are able to get stiff flex shafts in graphite. Not all stiff flex iron shafts come in steel.

The shaft flex determines how much the club bends during your swing. Regular flex suits average swing speeds (around 84–96 MPH), offering a good mix of distance and control. Stiff flex is best for faster swings that need more stability, while Senior flex is lighter and more flexible to help slower swings generate extra speed and carry.

The flex of a club refers to how much the shaft bends during your swing. It affects how much energy is transferred from your swing to the ball, influencing distance, accuracy and trajectory. The faster you swing a golf club the firmer or "stiffer" you need your flex to be.

Choosing the right shaft depends on swing speed and tempo. Golfers with faster swings need a stiffer shaft and slower needing a softer shaft.
