Well, all the manufactures do it differently but for your own records try this. You can also use this to get relative stiffness between poles of different lenghts by using the same suspension points. Suspend the pole 6" from the botton and 12" from the top. Hang a 50 # weight in the center...

Flex number are only for a lenght. the 12 ' pole is 10 pounds stiffer at the same grip as the 11' 5" pole.

I seen a 460 20.0 to to a 20.5 when bent to 90 degrees once and then bent 99 more time and end up a 21.0. That's a 5 pound loss in stiffness at that length.

Other data support the same conclusions when testing new poles then the same pole at a later date.
