Cleveland Traction 85 golf shaft.

[golfer2b2000]

A gentleman I know has a set of MT 588 golf irons he is interested in selling to me. The shaft though is listed as stiff flex. I have been playing regular shafts for some time now, and not really sure if I should go into a stiff flex. I know that flexes differ from one manufacturer to another.

 My question is that can most people tell a difference between stiff and a regular flex? 

Who makes this shaft because I doubt if Cleveland makes them.

Looking for a bit of advise from you fellows out there as to what I should possibly do.

 Thank you

The TRAction (Tour Reflex Action) shaft weights 85 grams in both R and S flex. Specs bill the shaft as Mid-launch. With a lighter shaft, I doubt you would feel much difference in the two flexes.

The TRAction was a proprietary shaft for Cleveland. A WedgeFlex version also showed up in their CG12 through CG15 wedges.

See if you can hit the MT irons OK - make sure the TRAction 85 is not too light for you.
