Measuring Frame Stiffness?

Hey everyone,

Just looking at switching to a new raquet after having the chance to try a selection at a club night, Currently I use a classic style Head frame, head light, on the heavy side, love it but found I had significant consistency issues with it, and after trying the others at a club night I came to the conclusion my frame is not at all well suited to me, Each of the teardrop style frames were an improvement, and each was either evenly balanced or head heavy,

So I decided to add some weight to the head of my current raquet and this seemed to help with the consistency a lot,

So now I'm planning to get myself a new racquet that has a teardrop shape and an even balance, but notice that some brands include mentions of frame stiffness while others do not. Research says stiff frames equal more power/control while less stiff(flexible) frames are much more forgiving.

As Head does not seem to advertise a frame stiffness stat for their frames as opposed to some other brands such as Black Knight, I was hoping there was some insight into how best to evaluate this so I don't end up buying an expensive but mismatched frame, AGAIN.

Thanks everyone, any insight is appreciated 👍
