Tour Stiff

Is this between stiff and X or is it some other rebar configuration?

Usually. Some brands call it Strong flex -- I think Matrix was one.

Sparky

And "Tour Van Stiff", that is extra special flex, right?

Sparky

what that means is when they are making the shafts the glue and resins have a “secret sauce” in them. Makes them go further and straighter!!

Could be a ploy, much as the one Rapport used to create huge sales of the Blue Velvet shafts. There is probably a couple golf forums now where the members only use 'tour stiff' shafts.

It’s just a tweeter flex... if you know with that exact shaft a stiff is too soft and x is too stiff... you buy Tour Stiff.

My Paderson shaft is like that. D30 would be too soft and I didn’t want anything too stiff which would be the D40 so I got the D30+ which was what they recommended.

Tip any stiff flex shaft .5-1" and you get "tour stiff" 😁
