Most manufacturers produce those charts. If you have a specific shaft in mind, check that company's website and I'm sure you will get the information you need. It would be different for different companies and models.

Of course you have to consider things like tempo, transition and lag if you are borderline between two flexs. Most of those charts get you in the ballpark anyway. Was there a specific shaft you had in mind?

tempo is more of a determinant to shaft flex than swing speed is.

im not sure lol havent checked in a couple monthes but stock six iron is 200 yd carry if thats any help

It sounds like you could easily play x-flex (X100s, 6.5s or 7.0s, or any X in graphite) just from your 6-iron distance.

In my Ogio Ozone Bag:
TM Superquad 9.5* UST Proforce 77g Stiff
15* Sonartec SS-2.5 (Pershing stiff)
19* TM Burner (stock stiff)
4-U - PING i10 White dot, +1.25 inches, ZZ65 stiff shafts55*/11* Snake Eyes Form Forged (DGS300)60*/12* Snake Eyes Form Forged (DGS300)Ping i10 1/2 MoonTitleist ProV1

For your distance, you are X felx easy.. If you are worried about that being too much club, check out the SL series. My 6 iron went 185, and i put the SL's in em, as i like the Feel of x's, but you can swing them faster as they are lighter by about twenty grams.

Ok......all true temper stiff and x-stiff are supposed to give you a low ballflight. Is this ok? Second, the x-stiff are going to be a bit stiffer and heavier than the stiff, USUALLY.
Check here: http://truetemper.com/golf/dynamicgold.asp You could either go stiff or x-stiff. Try both out if you can and see which gives better results.

I would go and get fitted, or at least try different variations of flex before buying.

Perfectly put! You could swing 115 and swing an S or swing 105 and need an X depending on how quickly you load and fire your club.

I dont like them but have you tried the Sensicore shafts or the Project X flighted shaft those have great feel for good feel golf. From what I'm told.
