The weight of the shaft is usually directly proportional to swing speed. The faster and harder you swing the heavier of a shaft one typically has. This is untrue sometimes because the player may want to swing a very light shaft in order to be able to swing faster and therefore hit the ball further.
A heavier shaft will also typically result in more accuracy and less distance because it causes the swing speed to slow down.
The ultimate goal when picking the correct shaft weight is that you find the weight that gives you the best distance without losing accuracy.

Stiff flex is simply a stiff graphite shaft. The flex of the shaft is basically how whippy it is, stiff has a little whip in it, but less than a regular. 60 would be the weight of the shaft, 60 grams.
Say it says Re Ax 65, this is the weight of the shaft as standard. Unaltered it weighs 65 grams.
The lightest driver head in golf is the Vulcan Speedlite V14 driver, weighing in at 185 grams. With the 40 gram grip, and 45 gram shaft, the whole driver weighs 270 grams. The Cleveland XL 270 also weighs 270 grams, but most of it's weight saving is due to it's 39 gram shaft.
there is really no difference except woods are like not as powerful as the driver but the woods can be hit in the fairway not the driver

Weight savings.
The swing weight will depend on the weight of shaft, length of shaft, lie angle and weight of grip. Your best bet to determine the SW is to bring it to a club builder/store and have it measured.
Shaft collars are used to position and locate components on a shaft. They also help to limit the movement of the shaft. There are many different types of shaft collars available. Each of these collars has different characteristics. As a professional manufacturer and distributor of shaft collars, we also provide custom shaft collars with special requirements.
The maverick phoenix is the better shaft it has the hights strength to weight ratio and has an amazing grip
Shaft flex is determined by the vibration frequency-- this is measured by fixing the shaft's butt and attaching a 10-ounce weight on its tip and then vibrate it to its vertical direction.
