fitting question

[cody west]

So i was fitted at the beginning of the year.  here are my numbers

with my previous driver:

avg carry distance: 257 yards

spin rate: 4000-6000 rpm

Swing speed:109

launch angle: 12.5-13.0

I was fitted for an x-flex driver shaft at about 80 grams

6-iron specs:

31* 6i

swing speed:79-81 mph

avg carry distance: 170-175

spin rate: 5000-7000 rpm

launch angle: i dont remember

so here's the deal, since the fitting I have worked with a pro and we have scaled back my swing on my irons. Now I'm getting about the same distance give or take 5 yards but I feel like I am hitting the ball much better than the distance I'm getting out of it.  I know my swing speed is down on the irons because I'm swinging with a much better tempo as opposed to jumping at it.

I'm thinking of going with regular flex in my irons.  Would it be weird to hit blades with a regular flex shaft?

What are you hoping to achieve by changing the flex??
