Ultralite flex question

[#28tz 0]

Is it true that the ultralite feels stiffer than other sticks at the same flex?

Im thinking of getting a 110 flex ultralite with a 6 inch extension what will this feel like as it should be less stiff due to the extension.

At the moment im using a 100 flex z bubble with a 6 inch extension but thats a little to flexy for me.

Will the ultralite work for me?

I've had 100 flex UL shafts and 100 flex z-bubbles and the UL's feel stiffer. I'm guessing the z-bubbles feel flexier because of the taper.

I recently picked up a junior UL shaft (55 flex) and a couple sherwood 9950's (stamped as 85 flex) and they feel about the same. (for inline)

I was beginning to wonder if the 9950's were really closer to a 55 flex but this thread leads me to believe that the junior UL shaft is closer to an 85ish flex.

No definite answer for you but hope this helps.

My friends 85 UL feels stiffer also. More like a 90-95

Are you comparing them (in flex) againist a tapered shaft or ops vs a standard shaft? If so IMHO a standard shaft will always feel stiffer due to taper on a ops or tapered shaft. But adding a but end will allways add flex just like cutting a stick down will always stiffern it up!

u do have a point, but it's still stiffer than Mission's 85.
