Carbon fiber can be constructed to have different properties in different directions. In bikes they are both light and strong without being stiff/uncomfortable. The are stiff in the directions that they need to be while damping vibration for the rider.
That's mostly marketing hype. Bikes really can't be stiff one way and flexy another. The frame geometry cancels out that potential. They would have to be flat structures to really exhibit that trait.
golf shafts are round , the bend and flex points can be calibrated by the weave paternities on the fiber thread pattern.
