Today I was in the only small, privately-owned golf shop in the area (rare, now), and the owner (a 2.5 decade friend of ours now) just got his new Titleist driver with an AutoFlex extra stiff shaft, factory installed. He's in his early 50s and is a low single digit, multi-club champion player. The shaft flexes in my hands like a noodle. The head moves like a Honma Vizard 43 R flex. He hasn't hit it yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing him after a few rounds. Geez......
