If you’re looking for a new driver shaft that is generating a lot of buzz, look no further than the Autoflex shaft. This shaft has gained a lot of attention on the internet for its light and very active design, promising surprising consistency and a boost in club head speed. As someone who was inundated with requests for a review, I finally had the chance to test out the Autoflex shaft and see if it lived up to the hype.
The Autoflex shaft is available in two bold color choices: pink and rainbow. The pink version, which I tested, features a bright bubble gum pink color with “autoFlex” branding in black, gold, and silver. The shaft has a sleek and modern look, with subtle iridescence on the tip and butt sections that add a cool touch. For those looking for something even more eye-catching, the rainbow finish is a truly unique option that stands out from the crowd.
In terms of feel, the Autoflex shaft delivers a unique experience that I have not encountered with other shafts. It feels incredibly fast through the ball, with a smooth and active profile that makes each swing effortless and fast. The light weight and active design of the shaft create a sensation of speed that is addictive and makes you want to keep swinging. It’s a feeling that can be both fun and rewarding for golfers looking to increase their club head speed.
When it comes to performance, the Autoflex shaft makes some bold claims about increasing club and ball speed while maintaining accuracy and being easier on the body. The company recommends building your driver to a specific swing weight range and suggests avoiding aggressive swings to maximize the benefits of the shaft. In my testing, I found that the shaft did increase my club head speed significantly, but my ball speeds remained consistent with other shafts I’ve used. Experimenting with different swing weights and transitions may help improve stability and smash factor.
Overall, the Autoflex shaft delivers on its promise of increased club head speed and a unique feel that sets it apart from other shafts on the market. While the technology behind the shaft remains somewhat mysterious, the results speak for themselves in terms of performance and enjoyment. However, at a price point of $790, it may be a costly investment for some golfers. As the Autoflex shaft becomes more widely available through fitters, it will be interesting to see how it is received by the golfing community and if it becomes a staple in the bags of players looking for a competitive edge.
