Now, I want to see TSI vs SIM with autoflex! It's like you make a video and I need another immediately. So much fun!
It was great to show the struggles with the longer shaft and the adjustments to correct. Very impressive test.
I have my Autoflex SF505X installed in my normal Mavrik 9* set at neutral +1 (10*). Swingweight is D1.5 at 46”. I had difficulty at the range getting used to it (lower draw flight) ... but like Ian said, when I took it on the course and let my body make the adjustments (also interestingly including higher and forward tee), I was astonished - 280-290 (total) average (long 300) instead of 260. Only played it with 9 holes but 6 of 7 center of fairways. Slight draw path, mid-high(er) ball flight. Amazing. I have 2 rounds this week (Friday/Saturday) and will report more. Let’s see how it plays for 36 holes on a reasonably tight course for our groups championship, but at the moment I think it is astonishing.
Where did you buy the autoflex shaft. Please provide information. Thanks
@@kimnguyen1364 I bought it through this website: www.sixshop.com/autoflex/home . But I actually emailed James Chang from the site who was super helpful in arranging it... you just use paypal to make the payment . After you check the site here is his email: jimmyinseoul@gmail.com
@3RD Werks 110
great video , the autoflex just continues to amaze.
matty boi + autoflex = flexy boi
Or Mattyflex
Weird flex but ok
The video everyone wanted. Thanks for the great content guys!
I'm using Autoflex SF505X for a 114mph swing speed. I have a Sim 10.5 head, 46 inches, and now have 3 rounds with it. It has been incredibly good. Everyone talks about the distance, but it's the dispersion that has really stood out, and additionally the ease of swinging. It's so little effort compared to a standard shaft. Tomorrow i try the 3 wood shaft in a TSI2 15 degree fairway. Will be interesting to see how it goes.

@@kimnguyen1364 direct from Autoflex in Korea
John did you have to modify your grip set up to be conscience of weight? Or did you have modify head weight in the sim?
@@daniellegong4892 I play with 3 wraps under a heavy grip so all good on that. I now use Sim 9 degree. Absolutely brilliant setup.
@@JohnSmith-ck9dk Still using the autoflex?
Great video. The longer shaft tends to put more drawy for me as well. Now I learned that a higher tee can be a help.
I like “Swing Delivery Issue”. I now have a more professionally sounding excuse. My Golf buddies: that was ugly! Me: I had a swing delivery issue!
Can’t wait till travel restrictions are lifted and I can book my trip to TXG. I really want to try this shaft and see what you boys can do for me!
It’s gonna be worth the wait I’m sure!
This is a video that shows the process Bryson undoubtedly went through to find the swing that works with a 48" driver - less loft, ball more forward, modify a few little more things about delivery to find what works. There is no free lunch - 46" to 48" is going to require changes to make it work if you have built a swing based on a 45" driver. Fear of change is why most won't do it - it will require work and most don't want to do the work which could be substantial. What are 15 yards worth in terms of practice time?
So great how you talk through how you feel about swing and dynamics of results
Thank you I’ve been wanting this for so long
Been waiting for this video for weeks!
hi. matty and ian. I used autoflex fitted driver, also used fitted 4,5 iron ,for 1 month. I think “ The autoflex shafted driver is definitely more useful for field play” ( distance , accuracy, esay shot). but more incredible point was more effective for long iron play !!! more easy handling. more distance. so goooooood. test it. and show others. ( I am 54 yr old man, 10 handicap golfer. in S. korea, ). I amnot commercial . I just pure ammature
If it wasn't so expensive the AutoFlex would be a great experiment!! Great video, very entertaining!!
So I got my hands on one......my good friend Dale put a grip and M6 tip on it tonight. Will get it on the range and maybe even the course TOMORROW! This should be fun! Thanks TGX, love the stuff and this one got me so hooked I had to get one.
Were did you buy it? Cant seem to find it anywere....
@@jarally It wasn't easy but I network for a living so was able to connect some dots. They are working on getting their distribution channels open but Covid has stalled things I would imagine. Let me see if my guy will take another order.
Hit it for the first time yesterday. Everything the guys say it SPOT ON. It waggles like a burner bubble back in the day....no way it can be hit straight but its more accurate than my Diamana DF 70 stiff. The hits on the face were in a TIGHT circle.....far better than normal for me. Im taking it out again today to the actual course to see for sure but on the range it DID seem to carry 7-10 yards longer.
@@jarally Let me know how I can send you a contact.
Love to see what Ian gets out of the auto flex, I've just put mine in for 18.5m more carry. Still dialing it in
I am blown away by this shaft guys , I will definitely be hunting one down to try . That’s such an important point matty , averaging out 7-10 drives cold , you pretty much only get that on a golf course , we can’t / don’t always get that hour warm up before teeing off in real life , down the range after we’ve hit a hundred your striping it like a tour pro , after adjusting to today’s tendencies 🤣😂🤣😂 , Who invented golf 🤣🤣
Awesome. So glad you guys did this 👏
interesting! Great video. Was waiting for this combo
I liked the conversation, I believe most people overlook the “to get the most” out of a product aspect. I think most people think I swap something in and go on as before. Not many people talking about, to get the benefit you might need to change something else.
That's because most fitters suck & are mainly trying to move product. After spending megabucks on fitting/new driver that didn't work for me on the course, I bought a Ventus Blue and fidgeted with weights to get a dramatically better result without changing the head again.
On my irons, the fitter talked me into going flat on the spec because of the lie board. Guess what happened ... I missed everything right. Forget the lie board - if you hang shots right, go more upright. If you tug your short irons, flatten them. There's no rule that the lie angles have to move in even increments through the set. Adjust specs to make the ball go straight off every club & you'll be a much happier golfer.
I'd like to see Matt play a couple of the courses on the simulator with the autoflex to see how game able it is based on playing other clubs in between drives.
Interesting shaft for sure and I’m not a shaftoid at all. Would love to try it. Hopefully it comes around me at some point
Love watching Matt's swing
Looking at Tigers dorp in swing/ball speed this season this looks like a great easy fix to keep ball speed & being lighter can add in more wieghting with sim & counterbalence to dial in, only if repainted tho!!
I would revisit the same set ups and give it the beans with both. With data from that, is there more of a gap between the two? Maybe that extra gear with better dispersion would be an advantage if Autoflexx gives you that. Especially if playing skins or something like that where you need to be aggressive to make up points. May allow you to take a real aggressive line with more certainty and more carry at your disposal if the situation called for it.
I would've had no hesitation whatsoever of taking that shaft to the course! Just Go For It
The "8 or 9 drives that one hits in a round". Me: driver on long par-3's as well. Matt seems like gentleman, I'm sure he's not deliberately rubbing it in.
Great test! Try it in the same length. Would be great to understand how much of the benefit comes from the shaft and how much of the length
I volunteer to be your mid handicap older player to try to the autoflex . I love watching Matt bomb it but realistically I would like to see a fitting with an average solid player, so pick me!
Autoflex is a keeper!
This video excites me!
I'd didn't know the answer so I watched first, boy am I glad I did. Definitely buy the autoflex and the new fitted configuration I'm sure Mr. Fraser can have some one at the front ring up you and give you the family and friends discount even. So did you figure out how many Texas Scramble long drives sleeve of balls you'd have to win in order to make it pay?
Thank you for more info on autoflex. Would be so curious to see this with other swingspeeds. Do slower golfers profit the same way?
Can we see Ian give autoflexx a hit? :D Thanks for all the entertainment guys!
So I would like to see what the Autoflex does for somebody with an average swing speed around 95-100.
What would that shaft do a at 45 inches or 44 1/2 like most people play or does that defeat the purpose
Yes omg why are you still debating this?!?!?! AUTOFLEX IS THE BEST!
Ian , make Matt put that ‘pink shaft’ in his driver 🤣🏌️♂️⛳️🍻
You should build this with the Sim and then compare that to the TSi3 and then take that winner to the course. That video would be super interesting and I'd love to see Matt's reaction / thoughts.
Great content as always. How about Autoflex test for 3W / 5W?
I haven't watched this video yet (but I'm about to). I'm wondering, though, about a general shaft question (and possible video if you haven't already made one on this specific topic): for golfers who don't feel that they play enough or don't have the extra cash to get fitted, at what driver swing speed should they probably switch from a regular to a stiff shaft? I realize there are many more variables such as shaft weight, etc., etc. I am currently gaming the non-adjustable 10.5-degree driver with 65-gram regular-flex shaft that came with my Callaway Edge boxed set from Costco (just got back into playing more golf this year). A portable launch monitor (SC300) shows that I typically swing my driver at about 95 mph. My ball flight is usually fairly high and RPMs (if the monitor is accurate) are around 3000 with range balls. I'm also hoping to do some speed training over the winter to get my swing speed up to at least 100 mph. Should I think about getting a stiff-shafted driver? I think a video with regular vs. stiff shafts at different swing speeds could be interesting. Or maybe you made one already and I just haven't found it?
Have that same feel with my m5 tour with ust pro force v2 x stiff shaft cut 1/4 short. Makes a big difference when I want to pop one 350, teeing it higher and hitting it more “up”
V2 is a classic shaft. I used to play that in my driver. It's still in my 3 wood. What weight are you using?
@@Biggbosshog 70 gram pretty sure. It’s just the Taylormade shaft. Definitely wanted the old pro force v2 back 10+ years ago, funny how I was fitted to it last fall. Been lots of fun this year
Yes! Take the autoflex on course, 2 off the tee! Very curious to see the difference of strokes gained on par 4s and par 5s. Imagine matty stepping up to a 640yd par 5 thinking...meh ill get home in 2. Lol
Your videos are just to good
For those of us who live vicariously through Matt's indoor drives, the simple answer is YES please, more Autoflex.
It would be so hard to leave those extra yards out of the bag for me. I'd be thinking of working my 3 wood for the more control tee ball and tweaking 5 wood loft for the gap.
Hi guys love all of your content.Are you going to put this shaft in the hands of a 90-95 mph swing weekend golfer
Great video guys! Where can i buy the AutoFlex shaft?
Would be interesting to see what the Autoflex does after being SST Pured
If u could guarantee the smooth golf course swing I think its a winner.
Also wondering if choking down an inch or so on, say, a 46-inch shaft gives similar results to using a 45-inch shaft. Or does the taper of the grip and position of the hands change the results significantly?
Im still gaming the pink Bubba shaft, been in 3 heads each time been fitted for different shafts but always fallen back to it. would love to give this a blast, my only concern is heavy shafts tend to give me tempo which equals consistency. do you ever see that in the harder hitting guys that play like me once a week at a push????
Ohhhh yes
You guys should do an autoflex series, hybrid.. pfft sure, 3 wood... pfft sure
Love my AutoFlex shaft. I have found I can turn it over more than my Ventus Black so it just me getting used to it. Side by side on the course once I got warm, the AutoFlex was longer but Ventus was easier for me to control at the time. Just need more time with it to dial it in. Also you have to get fitted and swing weight has to be right. Too heavy and it doesn’t work.
Should work great in Callaway heads because they come in light. Likely a struggle with Ping heads. What head are you using? I'm playing Ventus Blue 6S in a Mavrik Max. ~100mph clubhead speed. I tried the 50g Evenflow Riptide and couldn't keep it on the course. Total disaster. The Ventus made me love the Mavrik so reluctant to switch but I'm also not afraid to spend money chasing distance. 😎 Any info would be helpful - how did you decide which one? What length?
Where did you buy autoflex shaft. Please provide information. Thanks
@@canyonaro I’m a dealer and have a bunch of shafts coming in now. Currently using a Callaway Mavrik in my current set up
@@kimnguyen1364 I’m a dealer. I have a few driver shafts coming in and will be here early next week.
Can you give contact information. Do you have a website or store? How can we order or buy the auto shaft through you ?
Would really love to see someone other than Matt (or Ian) test this shaft for you guys. Slower swing speeds is much more helpful to me. Is that still on the horizon?
Yup. Game it
Re; teeing the ball up because of the shaft length, does that mean that I should tee the ball down a little bit if I’m gripping down ( for control)on my 45 inch shaft ? Great content as always, keep up the good work guys.
Was there a plan for another batch order of these shafts?
auto flex in a mid handicap golfer?I am waiting for a fit when lockdown finishes in the UK ps. loving a Scottish accent on CZcams !! pps. loving the content guys
Where can we buy the autoflex shaft. Please provide information. Thanks
Thanks for a great vid Gents, but watching it makes me think that in the hands of a fitter less skill than Ian and a Golfer less gifted than Matty, Autoflex could be a recipe for disaster.
In saying that I would love to try one out to less how Autoflex reacts to the swing of an arthritic sexagenarian...and the PINK would go so well with my eyes!
Dammit Bandit now I got to go lookup what a arthritic sexagenarian is ... and can a GCQuad test you for it? Will the "Pink Panther" make it to the shaft wall as it continues evolve, it is interesting.
I think Matt is the hard case, not the easy one. Very high speed & big in-to-out path. A fade player who hangs onto it too much would get a very nice release from Autoflex and likely see even bigger gains than Matt without the snap hook risk.
@@whiskerrub3821 I saw it in my Doctors notes and I was hoping that you might know, I think it's Latin for "old fart" but I could be mistaken. The Pink Peril certainly seems to have some magic voodoo sauce so probably yes it will be on the shelf when we do our surprise Christmas raid. I'm sure that MrsBandit will appreciate the thoughtful Present from me this year, but just in case she doesn't want a "new Stiff Pink shaft" (I overhear her mentioning it to one of her friends), I've bought her a new Iron instead.....she damaged her last one when she accidently threw it at me! LOL
@@canyonaro I would love to try out the Pink Panther (as Whisker calls it) at some stage to see if there is magic Voodoo sauce in its Pink interior.
I would go nuts if my first few drives of the day went like that
The Ventus Black in X Flex is an absolute bear to swing. It's the hardest shaft to turn over that I've ever tried. So surprise at all that his first few swing with Autoflex were huge hooks. Matt is a bit addicted to feeling safe with a shaft that's a tree but his timing & effort level would be far better if he went to the Autoflex IMHO.
Does the Autoflex shaft come "pured" or did you make adjustments for spine?
I wanna see Matt bring it to the course
Bonjour a vous deux ! Would be interesting to see an average golfer with the Autoflex shaft ( dispersion, length, confidence, etc )
Is the autoflex designed to be played at 46"? Why compare 45 vs 46 inches of shaft?
Where do I purchase an autoflex shaft?
It would be interesting to see how the Ventus would compare at 46” length (rather than 45”) to the 46” Autoflex. Would the club speed be comparable?
Love to watch that! Hopefully, TXG can throw in AD-DI HD or XC shaft in the mix as well.
That would provide a true comparison
People have said this shaft is soft, surely that would be off putting, I brought a Titleist driver and ordered stiff flex but got A flex and I swing it 100mph and it feels like it'll break which is off-putting thank god I'm buying a new shaft on the weekend, if I had his swing speed it'd be like me swinging that shaft and it would put me off
Is the shaft made by autopowergolf?
Yes. Both AutoPower and AutoFlex shafts are made by Dumina Co. in Korea
I'd like to see the same test with a few folks who have different swing speeds. See if the auto flex lives up to its name, being able to be used by multiple swing speeds
I love.
would love to see Matty with this shaft tipped s with the SIM.
Matt, if you were to compare it to a ventus shaft, what flex would the ventus be that would equal the flex feel of the autoflex.
I still think you shouldn't be leaving 12 yards on the table. I know it's not conventional but it's one less club into every green!
Would you guys do a review on the srixon zx7 irons Pls? Really wanna purchase this set but wanna hear you guys out first before making any moves
Matty switching from Mavrik to TSi3, wasn't something my wallet expected.
Have the viewer ordered Autoflexes come in and built yet? Would be curious to see what peoples experiences are with it.
What does this shaft perform like for someone with a very quick transition?
Maybe I'm just speaking about myself as a total hack but wouldn't it be difficult to switch back and forth between Matt's traditional setup and the autoflex on the same course and the same day? Seems like you would be fighting competing swing thoughts and styles and confusing your body leading to more erratic results. Maybe play two or three rounds with just the autoflex and two or three rounds with your ventus and compare stats and feels afterwards.
Would Autoflex in the 3wood be better?
Still want to see the Autoflex with 100mph-ish swing. Can one of you guys use it in a 'wrong-handed' fitting?
I think Matt is to skeptical of this shaft. I understanf his arguments, but until it has been tested much more he shouldnt dismiss it so easily.
Is autoflex flimsier in terms of stiff and x compared to other shafts? Don’t know much about them. Or just more kick?
Take it to the course to get comfortable adjusting the set up in real world situations.
Noticed Matt hits it farther down the left side it seems instead of turning it over???
A club you get 30yards more drive for $1300 fun to watch but a high cost
haha the clip at 0:18
BTW are the Autoflex shafts conforming? USGA? THX!!!!
Hey guys can you cut the shaft down to the right lenght
When are you guys playing one another on the simulator courses?
How will it perform at 80MPH swing and is there a shaft for it?
Any Idea Why Rick Shields did not get any distance or accuracy gains using autoflex compared to his hazardous smoke?
Love the video's you guys provide. I'm still fascinated how for Matt's average to slim build he gets so much speed. Can Matt give us an insight on how he does it
Did you try a similar length Senior shaft with same Weight and telling Matt its another Autoflex ??? Matt is Clearly Adjusting his Sving to this shaft and he wants to !!!! if you put a senior flex into the hands of a good golfer ha already knows its wrong and will be biased . I am not sure this shaft is anything other then a light. long, soft shaft . The Way Matt svings the Club i am pretty sure he could get good numbers with a clubhead and a piece of string its a pleasure to watch
Game it Matty.. One less club into any green. Strokes Gained win...
How do I get one of the Autoflex shafts. Definitely the future of golf shafts. I wonder if the USGA will outlaw them?
you can view more on them at autoflexshaft.com
@@allthatgolfkorea Thanks. The price is a bit out of my range for just a shaft.
