What symptoms would s shaft that is too soft or stiff give?

Shaft will hardly ever act the same if it is too soft. Generally with my driver it was a high pushy fade and with my hybrid it was a crazy snap hook. Stiff shaft with both have straightened my shots out no end. If too stiff I have heard people will loose a lot of distance and go slightly right.
 
Too soft = Left

Too Firm = Right

Other variables in the swing will no doubt play a factor, but as a rule....

That's what I know it as also.. along with kick point being a factor.

High Kick for low trajectory

Low Kick for high trajectory

Mid for Mid.
