I am sure some of you have seen the TXG videos on this thing. From the first looks they look absolutely insane. Does anyone have more intel?

TXG is the source of all Intel. lol

Here is another deep dive. http://www.golfwrx.com/627608/koreas-autoflex-shaft-challenging-the-conventional-wisdom-of-golf/

First Adam Scott. Now Boom Boom

dphatt The absolute perfect candidate regarding the almost required smoother than silk swing. Once I get to test mine they are either going to be 100% in the bag or the shortest lived item for sale on the TeesandCoins classifieds for me.

Adam Scott is hitting bombs today with autoflex. Ball speed consistently in the 180s. Maybe I can get mine to 150 😂

vincent but has he hit a fairway yet? 😉

Really? Tape at the bottom of the shaft? So I spent $800+ on a shaft and thats how to make it stiffer? 🤷♂️

I am waiting for AF to start selling 5in stability tape for $100 🤪

dphatt Yo, what in the actual F???

AutoFlex shafts

Back to the Autoflex but this time it’s the 505xx. This one doesn’t feel like a noodle when you waggle it. So far I have hit some great drives and I am not getting the dreaded hooks and high spin right shots. This may stay in the bag. Famous last words

I hope this makes it to Jersey

Benzo it should but I don’t have the 12° head that you need 😆

dphatt hey nothing wrong with help to get it up 😳

If anyone is looking to move a XX driver shaft, TM tip preferred, I would be interested.

Posted in my WITB but will repost here

I put a new Autoflex 505xx into the Epic Speed LS last night and took it out to the course today. This club was on a very short leash as I already didn’t like the head after one round with it. First shot on the range. Whoa!!! What was that? Dead straight and great height. I hit a few more and the same. I hit it hard and it was still straight. Sure sure. Range balls always go straight. So onto the course. I won’t bore you with details but the TSi3 didn’t see a single ball on the course. I outdrove @bogeysandbeers on a few holes too 😉. Honeymoon period? Absolutely. But I was impressed today and it might go into the bag for the WMGA Mid Am on Tuesday.

SIM Max 8*
SF505XX
Pure Pro Standard
46” playing length
191.6g headweight
D1.5 swingweight

Hoping to get some range time in next week. Two things to note, 1.5” in added length is very noticeable(that’s what she said), and you can literally bend the shaft into a U. Stoked to give it some rips.

dphatt

ckay what weight did you use for the SIM to get it to that head weight?

ckay

dphatt I didn’t have to do anything to get this headweight. Based on our past conversations of needing a 190ish gram head, I spent a couple of weeks looking for the right head on eBay. Knowing the adaptor was roughly 7 grams I just kept looking for a 197-198g head with decent CT and as neutral of a FA I could find.

Putterho

ckay That's a pro move. How many sellers responded back when you asked them what the actual head weight was on the head? 20% of sellers?

ckay

Putterho I only looked at new in plastic heads with spec stickers on them.

Putterho

ckay Damn Mr. Deep Pockets!

Quick take after 4 weeks without swinging a club. Not a review.

With my gamer SIM 9 on RDX Blue 60TX 44.5”, I was at 110-112CH and 163-165BS. Being at the bottom of my bell curve, I felt like I had to work to get to get there. I get to 115-118 mid-season form and 120-122 when I step on it.

With the SIM Max 8 on 505XX 46”, I was at 115-116 and 168-170BS, effortlessly. Being 1.5” longer and overall weight being lighter probably accounted for some of that.

I stepped on a few to 120 but I was getting a bit spinny and wayward.

Misses overall were hooks but I just need some time to delay my release slightly and square up.

Went back to my gamer and it felt like I was swinging a telephone pole.

I will work with the AF build for the next several weeks and figure it out because to effortlessly hit the gamer numbers is a big positive for me. Never went into this for big gains, but more so to get the same or better numbers without exerting myself and so far it seems like it’s getting it done.

More to come and it’ll be interesting to see the progress as I get my body into full swing mode as I am feeling winter rust still.

Putterho

ckay Cut the shaft down to 45.5 and don't even sweat cutting it down to your normal playing length. Get the lighter weights for the Max head. Keep tinkering with it!

dphatt

I am shocked to see Grace and Wie using the fairway wood shaft too. I would love to tip the driver shaft like these two have.

Putterho yup, I plan on working with it at 46” for now. Already sold my gamer so I’m pretty much forced to swing it at this point 😂

dphatt

I just ordered a FW shaft. I am slowly going down this rabbit hole 🤦‍♂️

I haven’t had any range time yet other than a Trackman session so I still need to work on the timing but did a little twilight around a short, tight muni. Hit driver on 6 holes, with two balls on each of them. The shaft has a dispersion I’m not used to. It is tighter than the last few shafts I have played. I purposely hit the toe twice to see what it does and it’ll hook but I’m left rough vs. hoping the ball sits quick which we all know a hook never does.

I did try to rip two shots and topped them both. I wouldn’t say that is a reflection of the shaft but me just not hitting a ball in almost 2 months and jumping off of it through impact.

Plan on going to the range this week to see how I make out with varying tweaks in the swing.

Takeaway for me is I think the shaft does what they say it does and tightens up dispersion. I’m not the most accurate driver of the ball and was pretty happy with what I saw out of the 12 swings I put on it.

Distance was never a problem for me, and I am hitting it as long as I expect myself to. The difference is I can do it with less effort. Hopefully I can produce good results with an all-in swing. If not, I’ll just have to restrain myself. I’ll know if I have gained anything from a distance perspective when I get back with my usual crew.

Last note, SIM MAX is a great feeling head compared to the SIM. Looking forward to hitting the range this week because the Trackman session from last week had me perplexed with the numbers.
