How can a company like this not have a working website?  That does not instill a lot of confidence in the product.

Their English website is at www.autoflexshaft.com 

 

Doesn't it open for you?

Yeah, some LPGA players play Autoflex shafts

 

Okay thank you. Just didn’t know if there was USGA regulations conforming to shafts.

I don’t know that answer but I would assume it be the same as having the Ventus 6X and then moving to a Ventus 7S.  The 505 is slightly heavier. 

Got it. Cool

So I'm still waiting on my TM adapter and epoxy I ordered on 11/21.

 

It's on a USPS extended journey of 9 days.

 

Started in PA and went to Springfield, MA, then to Providence, RI, then to Stamford, CT where it's enjoying a few days there.

 

I'm in MA right on the border of RI.

Try this.

 

I got a firewall error on my desktop but on my phone it went right to it.

[My2Dogs]

Well I started getting a few more folks that wanted an AutoFlex.  So if I get just a couple more people interested I can do another bulk order.  Let me know if anyone wants one.  Any flex and you can pick between the 2 colors.  
 

god I need to get healthy as all this golf talk is driving me crazy.

I’d say do it if folks are interested and have the funds. My2Dogs got me my SF505 quickly as possible with going through customs and USPS.

Good luck and and hopefully they do.  I’m buying a 3 wood and also thinking of another driver shaft to put into a Sim.  Currently they are hot.  Saw 5 come up on eBay ranging from $875 to $1000 and none last more than a day.

 

I was able to get a little discount because I got a few of us together for a bulk order I’m placing tonight.

I continue to stock this thread and watching for confirmation that the autoflex delivers guaranteed significant improvement from people’s current gamers. Hope it does!

I hope to get some testing soon when the holidays come around. I’ll make sure to post data using Trackman 4 and comparison with my current gamer.  Callaway epic flash SZ with a nemesys shaft.

In Mass also but other end of state.  Found a brand new 505 on Ebay for a grand and jumped on it.  It cost me a little more but time is running out in the northeast and I had a decent PayPal balance so I just pulled the trigger.  Will have it next week and right into a PXG Proto.  Pretty sure I can get head down to mid 180 grams so finding swing weight with this head will be a breeze.  If this thing works. All the shaft stock is going. TPT's Graphite designs Veylix etc.  The 1k is crazy but seeing as I have 1500-2000 worth of shafts just sitting here its on par for my addiction.  lol. I race cars also so when you race cars you lose all sense of the value of a dollar.  Will post reviews when I get it to the range. I'm a 0 hcp 52 year old guy smooth swinger solid ball striker usually 1.48 -1.52 smash factor with driver but at 95mph corse speed need some help to keep up with the kids I'm playing with..  Updates soon......

[Qwiklap]

Anyone have a 505 that they might want to sell me?  I want to get this try.  First Pro Orange v2 (which was great), now Nemesys (also great), I have just have to try this. 

[Allthatgolf]

Some good news on pricing point of AutoFlex shafts from the Korean manufacturer. As they have begun to partner with local distributors (mostly in Southeast Asia currently), Dumina Co. says it will fix the cost of the driver shafts to just under $800 so as not to be affected by fluctuating exchange rates. This should help a little bit since the dollar has been declining against the Korean won (retails 950,000 Won in Korea, which is now over $865 at today's exchange). It'll probably be announced sometime next week.

I have one in route and will get as many numbers as people want on the GCQuad.  I have a G410LST head and a SIM head to test it in.  I am a 4.1 index with good club head speed, but the tee ball has been what holds me back (inconsistency).  I will bomb one 300+ and depending on the day, block one right or pull hook one.  I think this profile is something that this community has been looking to get some info on.  Hopefully next week!

[dirtmod87]

Same guy I bought from on Ebay  has listed another SF505 .  Like I said,  little steep but was shipped immediately and everyone has to make a buck . I paid Thursday morning and says will be here Monday. So if you are  impatient may be an option.

Let me know how it works with the LST - that is what I have, and it is a heavier head (but I also have a full weight kit).

[Qwiklap]

For the board -- if I am at the high end of 505 and low end of 505X but my miss is an overdraw, pull - seems like 505X is the right option, plus Iike to use heavier heads.  Thoughts?

 

Do yo have to play at 45.5"?  I like my driver at 45", otherwise it feels weird. 

[Frakes]

Where are you at in the swing speed range?  I can suffer from the same miss, but that to me is more of a path/face angle than a shaft specifically.  Because I bought a GCQuad for my simulator, I have learned a few things by having access to too much data :).

 

I have the 505x coming.  I usually play ~75g X shafts in my drivers so this may be interesting.  With the GCQuad I have been able to see that I actually get better ball speeds when I don't "try so hard".

I have a GCQ as well.  My pull-hook is a path issue, but I tend to have a light in-out path, but often over close the face and overdraw the drive (but can block right as well).  I have been speed training all year (COVID times) and have my speed in the 105 area, and can touch 107-110 on occasion.  I continue to train so I hope to continue to increase speed - 110 avg by next spring is my goal.  I have always used 60-ish gram S and X shafts.  I like counterbalanced shafts presently (have a Pro Orange 60TX in my Ping 410 LST and a Nemesys 65 Four tipped 1" in a Cobra SZ with tour weights).  The heads on my drivers are heavy (204g for the Ping, and 206 for the SZ).   Clubs are 45" and I get them to swingweight to D2 and D3.  I have weight kits for both and can add/drop the weights.

 

 

[My2Dogs]

Hi guys, I found this video on YouTube.  Guys swings around 95-100mph so more in line with regular folks and not Matt from TXG who swings 125mph.

 

anyway it has subtitles and he goes through the fitting and then finds the correct weight for him.  Pretty interesting.

 

 

[My2Dogs]

So here are my 2 driver set ups.  Just got the shafts back after having them cut down, sleeve and grip added and swing weight measured.  Both playing at 45.75.  Swing weight is right on D1.5.  One is a tour issued Sim that I just got that is 9.8 loft and 1.2 open.  Head weight was 193g.

 

Mavrik 9* is just one I bought off someone here as my custom Mavrik has hot melt so no way to get the weight down enough.  Want to get a SZ as well to test  with the AutoFlex.  Mavrik is 194g but could take off a couple of grams by removing the 5g in the back to a 2g if I wanted 

 

Im just itching to hit some balls but I can’t yet with my recovery from surgeries I just had.  Once I can, I’ll take my Mevo out and compare vs my Custom Mavrik with Ventus Black 6X.

Also I have a 3 wood I had set up for the AutoFlex.  Sim rocket 14* and had the AutoFlex SF505X cut down to play at 43.  The guy had to add lead tape under the grip to get the swing weight to a D2.  Actually doesn’t feel as whippy as the driver.  Could be because it’s a little shorter or because it’s a little heavier SW from the driver.

 

again as soon as I can swing without much pain I’ll test it vs Ventus Blue 7X, Red 7X and Black 7X- all with the same Sim rocket head.  I even have a Tensei Pro White 70TX for the 3 wood as well I can test.

I am very similar to you as well. I'll offer up some info that led me into ordering a 505x even though I am more in the 108 range currently. First I have a harsh transition and I load most shafts pretty hard, that alone pushed me over the edge. Second, I have gained some club head speed back recently and plan to keep working at it so getting to 110+ should be doable. I was there a year a go. I currently play 65-70g X gram shafts (more on those when I get the shaft and do my review) but have played a 52g shaft previously and swung it 3mph faster just from the difference in weight. I think most people see at least 3mph faster CHS with the weight/extra kick from auto flex. As far as length goes I think they say longer is better but people have played it normal length and still saw results. I'm 6'2" and play 46" already without issues, I'm going to start at 46.5" (uncut) and dial it back if needed. If you end up playing at 45.5" or 45" you'll be cutting a few grams off so a 51g 505 will be under 50g.

Ok - A few questions for all of the guys gaming the Autoflex.  I haven't purchased a new driver in five years and I'm gaming the G30 with the tour 65 stiff shaft.  I've been hitting the driver so well that I haven't really felt the need to upgrade it but it's time.  My SS is generally between 103-107 mph.  I'm a 6 HCP with four kids who practices more than he plays.   I'm going to get the Autoflex, so here are my questions:

1) SF505 or SF505X.  I'm thinking the SF505.  Although, I think I will pick up 3 mph with a lighter longer shaft, so maybe I should consider the X, per Enfuego's post? 

2) It seems like the TM Sim, Callaway Mav, and TSi2 would be the best matches based on the head weight.  Do you think Ping 425 is an option?  

3) I think I'm playing D4 swing weight, how is the transition to playing such as 1-2 swing weight?

4) I'm thinking 46 inch and I can always choke down an inch.  Thoughts?

5) I'm assuming a counter weight to keep the shaft at the recommended swing weight, but I assume this will be similar because I think the tour65 is CB.  

 

Thanks!

Sent you a PM.  I’ve done all the stuff you talked about.  My previous driver was D4 with a Ventus Black 6X playing at 45.5 but I choke down 1/2 inch.  Don’t like to hold the club at the very end for some reason. 

[outgolfing]

 

Autoflex 2.0 for me is built.  So I could handle the ribbing from friends about the pink on the original version...can’t wait to hear what I get for this one.  But hell, it’s 2020...rainbows for everyone !

I see you have 5 more Autoflex’s leaning against the wall.  Nice

DAM this board. I am 62 and in great physical shape. My Driver SS averages around 95 and I have a quick transition. Been playing the Sim Max 10.5* lofted down to a 9*, standard length. Average drive is probably 250 and pretty much play a slight fade, HCP stays around 6.

 

So based on that information what would you recommend.

 

Thanks in advance.
