    On Ebay, I'm looking at a set of Toney Penna irons from around '76-80. The shaft labels say Dynamic, but there's no flex designation. Seller says the 5-iron is 38.5. Any idea what the flex is likely to be when the labels don't state? Thanks for your help.

    A 38.5" five iron is either played by a freaking giant or an old guy trying to regain lost distance. So the giant would probably want a stiff shaft and the old guy would need a relative noodle. If you have a hankering for Jimmy Carter era second tier blades and would purchase them to play them, you would most likely want to have them re-shafted.
