The Autoflex Dream 7 shaft offers a soft, smooth feel with a higher launch and spin, perfect for smooth swinging players. In this review, we explore the appearance, feel, and performance of this latest offering from Autoflex. Available in five bold colorways, the Dream 7 features unique graphics that add a pop of color to your club. The shaft offers a gentle wiggle to get moving, with a satisfying kick through the ball on a full swing.
Autoflex keeps it simple with the Dream 7, focusing on the 2nd generation of Korea Hidden Technology for power and stability. The shaft is slightly softer than the original, with an upgraded tip section for improved performance. Testing revealed that the lighter weight of the shaft allowed for increased club head speed, with the best results seen at a more moderate effort level. A dialing back of speed to 50% resulted in straight, high trajectory shots with some roll-out.
Increasing effort and speed showed improvements in ball speed and distance, but also increased dispersion. The shaft favored the left side of the range but was manageable. Pushing the limits of speed and effort saw diminishing returns, with wide and unpredictable dispersion. The Autoflex Dream 7 is offered in six variants, with recommended swing speeds ranging from 60 to 115 MPH. Weights range from 39 to 57 grams, catering to a variety of player preferences.
For players with a smooth swing tempo, the Autoflex Dream 7 shaft offers increased speed without added effort. It is important to note that comparing the Dream 7 to the original Autoflex shaft may not be accurate due to differences in driver heads and swing conditions. Overall, the Dream 7 is a suitable option for players with a natural smooth swing, offering a satisfying feel and performance on the course.
