Autoflex shafts

Have we discussed these here? I'm so tempted to drop the money on one for the driver because my driver swing is in a good place. Here is a story from Golfw...

Par4QC. kinda defeats the Autoflex name doesn't it?

garyt1957 I probably should have looked into these a long time ago, in order to know more about them, than what I just read from others. But, ya know what, at almost $800/shaft, I figure why should I know about them?

A really nice shaft that may or may not be 'fitted' to you, or you find on your own, can turn a crappy head into a monster head. But, there are myriad shafts out there that can do that....at well under $800, even well under $80.

garyt1957 I just can’t deal with people who just take shots at you. Especially jealous people.

What are your top shafts under $80? I’ve been playing $15 Grafalloy Pro Launch Supercharged Reds with good success. I have some of the $5 Paderson KINETIXX TS-D2s on order. The Aldila NV Greens (usually around $60) are on my list to try as well.

I've said it for years....the classic all time best shaft! IF, it fits your swing. Sadly, it does not fit mine any longer, or I would still be playing them. Actually, I did play one last year in my Epic Flash, but it was @ 46 1/2" in order to make it flex close to what it did @ 45", with a faster swing.
There are a lot of really good shafts out there, like you've found with the Pro Launch, as long as it 'fits'. And, they are cheap enough that the search will not break any bank.

Jelopster I've have that same cheap prolaunch red supercharge and I've hit the NV as well. My unsolicited comparison is that the NV might feel just a tad more stout, trajectory might be a little lower. The red PL though has a hair of CB in it though (not a lot) and that is a nice feature at a cheap price. Very close shafts overall.

ode I was late to the party but I'm assuming someone bought one and someone else took exception to spending that kind of money on a shaft and it went from there?

Thought it would be fun to discuss here.
Guess not.

Par4QC

DonM No, it IS fun to discuss. Not every day that someone on a golf forum like this has an interest in such a high dollar item, esp. a shaft.
You made me do some actual 'buttwork' on my PC. 😅

And, the price would actually be over $900, with the FedEx delivery charge of only $100!! We would also have to pay close to $60 in tax(IL).

If you have the financial means, go for it!. I tried one swing with a stiff flex and took a nice smooth easy swing and piped it. If I took my regular swing I'd probably fit somewhere between x and xx with these shafts. The distance was impressive for my half swing and worthy of a trial run in my opinion.

Having said that, I think it's worth a try. Maybe buy a used one and then if it doesn't work, resell it for what you paid or close to that and you won't be out too much money.

It's an interesting concept and hopefully the price comes down a bit in the future. Instead of paying $525 for next years new driver spend that money on just a shaft? It's certainly not a reach for a lot of people. For 20 yards with the driver (what the writer of the linked article got) I'd buy one, but I'd have to try it first.

Jelopster

backinit Thanks! This is helpful. My next driver will be one with an adapter so I can switch shafts out and do some real comparisons.

Save your money and just get a ladies flex shaft. 😎 60 gram stiff vs 45 gram ladies flex. You can skip to 7:40 and see the results.

Sneakylong Something I've been thinking about trying as I get older and less flexible. Will probably be a winter project for me to complete. Just need the right head and shaft combo to try out.
