I think that it would also be helpful to have a chart incorporating flex numbers.

Huh sorry, I guess I had the forum permissions set funky and did not see that I had to approve these replies!
The flex numbers vary from brand to brand and length to length, so it would be confusing and too much info (plus the manufacturers would never release the info).
The weights are listed, maybe your browser has the font size set funky?
