Alli can say is i like the cue to be "just right" that may be a sitting on the fence answer but i honestly don't know if my cue is stiff or whippy.

many people are obsessed by stiffness. but they are mad
a cue should have a good 'spring' to it. if not, it will play lifeless.
side shots and soft screw need to be 'felt'. and you don't get that with a cue that is too stiff.
a cue that is 'too' whippy will give problems on power shots with deep screw, extreme side, or, particularly, off the cushion, cos it will cause miscues.
anywhere in between the two extremes should be fine.
