again, not necessarily. if you can control a regular flex shaft, then you should use a regular flex shaft. use the whippiest shaft that you can CONTROL

i heard from someone here that from a mizuno fitting trailer they told him always err on the stiff side

I think that is a good idea because a stiffer shaft should give more control at the expense of a slight loss of distance. I think the too-soft/pull too-stiff/slice is a myth. When i had a regular shafted driver I was all over the place, duck hooks to huge slices. Now with a stiff the misses still happen but the degree of miss is much less pronounced, although on perfectly struck shots I have maybe lost 5 yards or so. It may be somewhat mental but the stiff shaft just gives me a lot more confidence that I can swing away without worrying about hitting a snap hook.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
