The higher the rating, the stiffer the handle.
Now... the related questions I'm not yet sure of (but determined to get to the bottom of...
-- What is the range of these ratings? I'm GUESSING that 100 is the max.
-- What are the advantages/disadvantages of more/less handle flex? I BELIEVE that players with a faster natural swing speed will want a less flexible handle... the more flexible handles probably help a player overcome their lack of swing speed (and/or allow a player to swing more slowly - and therefore more controlled, perhaps)... I'm guessing this is the case because this is the situation with Golf club shafts.

What does a flex index on a softball bat mean?
The number itself means nothing, it's an arbitrary number made up by the manufacturer. The important thing to know is Miken, Easton and DeMarini are the major manufacturers which offer 2 flexes in the handles. Basically, the stiff handle is for players with faster swing speeds and the less stiff handle is for players who need more whip to improve bat speed. There is diminishing return if you have a fundamentally sound swing and use a regular flex handle - the barrel head will lag behind. So, if you are a power hitter get the stiff flex handle. If you're not, get the regular flex handle.

What is the difference between regular flex and stiff flex stealth baseball bats?
Regular Flex: the bat actually bends when swinging and when contact is made Stiff Flex: Acts like a 1-piece bat with some flex and has fancey handle ***I would recommend neither. when a bat bends it takes away the trampoline effect of the barrel. this reduces power. i hav had both kinds of bats and the flex bats arent that great. Look at an exogrid---it is in the same price range and is an amzing bat. lots of pop and big sweet spot.
What is the best bat?
The best bat in the world is the Anderson techzilla xp 2011 and the other best bat is the cf4 st who ever says the eastons r better u got some problems No No No the best bats in the world are made by demarini i agree with the cf4 but the techzilla no way Well actually, it matters what you look for in a bat.Say, if you like a lot of flex they either DeMarini or Easton, preferably DeMarini. If you look for a stiff handle then i prefer the Easton Synergy, V12 or the Anderson NanoTek (considering the small Barrelsize or the Techzilla). Or maybe you're like me: light, stiff and amazing pop. Then i DEFINITELY recommend Combat. They may crack easily but that what warranties are for, plus you can also but composite "sleeves" that lengthen your bats life without reducing pop.
Does the higher number on a hockey stick mean it has less flex?
its allows your stick to bend more when taking a slapshot thus creating a stronger spring motion which shoots it faster then a higher flex stick. better for defensmen is lower flex(not to low or you will brake it.
What is the biggest flex a hockey stick can have?
about a 40 flex is maximum for a junior stick ---------------------------------------- The biggest flex a hockey stick can have, and I'm assuming you mean the largest number, is a 115 to 120 (depending on the manufacturer). A 120 flex is fairly difficult to find and most are only available in Europe. For the most part, the highest flex available in the USA is a 110. In case there was any question, the higher the number in the flex rating, the stiffer the stick. Here is a listing of average flex ratings for each size stick: Youth - 35 to 40 flex Junior - 50 flex Intermediate - 60 to 70 flex Senior - 75 to 110
