True, also too stiff and the haft will break not able to withstand pressures a less stiff haft can withstand. It's similar kind of compromises we see when it comes to discussing sword blades. All-in-all it's an entire system (which as you say includes the hand that wields it) that operates within whole ranges of variables some of which compete with each other.
