I'm looking at a few drivers with regular flex shafts. Regardless of the shaft brand, each has a number--60 and 75 being the ones I see most often. Does this stand for the shaft's weight? Or something else?

It does represent the shaft weight. Different shaft weights change the feel of the shot. Some shaft manufacturers also add a two digit number that will reflect the swing speed that shaft is best suited for. The shaft flex, whether S, R, XS, varies from shaft maker to shaft maker. They do not all adhere to the same standards. You have to try each type and flex to find the one best for you.

actualy, both are wrong answers!! The number on the shaft represents the number of straight drives you are goint to hit with that driver once the shaft is put in place. In some cases, it represents your lower score.
PS: Im obviously kidding, but since the correct answer was given, i thought i just make a funny remark! LOL

the number you mentioned is the approximate net weight of shaft at 46in. the weight without the head. while 60 doesnt mean its at exactly 60g, it range from 61-69g. so as the 75. and a 60 regular flex with be about 1-2g lighter than a 60 stiff flex. you can find the exact specs of shaft on their website.

Small2iv is correct. It is the weight of the shaft.
