So basically you'd have to cut over 10" off to have any affect on flex. I was originally banking on my 3" cut upping the flex a bit, but yeah not so much.

Intermediates are rated 70 flex at ~3" shorter than a senior 75 flex.
So if you cut the senior sticks down to the same length as the 70, it would be somewhere around (completely ballpark):
55 flex = 55 flex
70 flex = 70 flex
75 flex ~ 85 flex
85 flex ~ 95 flex
100 flex ~ 110 flex
Give or take of course, and it depends on a bunch of things.
The only people who really get bugged are the ones who are in that gap between 65-70 flex intermediates and 75-77 flex senior.
And yes changing 1" in flex, even in "free flex zones" does seem to have a noticeable impact, maybe not night and day, but noticeable.
