Honestly, I think both options have their merits! Just don’t go too stiff unless you want to risk feeling like you’re swinging a tree trunk. I’d prefer to stay limber on the course!

Choosing between stiff and regular flex irons really comes down to your swing speed and style. If you have a faster swing, stiff might be the way to go! It’s all about finding what fits you best.
I completely agree! I switched to stiff flex when I improved my swing speed, and it made a significant difference in my distance and control.

While flexibility matters, grip size and overall comfort also play a big role. I often find it’s not just about the flex but how the club feels in your hands during the swing.
That’s such a good point! I used to underestimate the impact of grip size on my game. It really does help with consistency.
I’ve played both stiff and regular flex, and honestly, it was a better experience for me with regular flex as it gave me more control on my shorter shots.
There are so many factors to consider! I wonder if anyone has data showing how the right choice has improved their scores over time.
I’ve been tracking my scores, and since switching to stiff flex, I’ve dropped about five strokes! It’s made a noticeable difference.
It’s fascinating how every golfer is unique. I guess trying out both options at a range is the best way to see what works for you.
If only my clubs could play for me! 
But in all seriousness, getting the right flex helped my consistency a ton, although I’ve had fun experimenting with both.
What I’ve noticed is that a stiff flex allowed me to hit further drives, but I sometimes lose control on the approach shots. Definitely a compromise!
