Accra fx or ahould we say Autoflex

[tyorke1]

After the club champion txg video there will be a lot of interest. Anyone use one aa a cheaper Autoflex

[tyorke1]

I have a black velacore stiff a 1 k black pro orange and got an fx 50s put together to test might be interesting.  

[tyorke1]

Tested it on the range and nine holes. Surprisingly stable, high flight. Was not on a monitor but it did make me go  umm, more testing to come but definitely  a good shaft , I tested the 150 stiff fx 

[tyorke1]

Mo question more carru and this was into the wind. Three of us all scratch players and all three were scratching our heads. I ordered one i was testing a demo and im sure my buddies will too. The previous post was yesterday i did not hit send. I would think this will be the new craze in shafts.

I am in market to get a new driver. With low swing speed of about 90mph and missing to right, I need to get some tech to help. Saw the TXG video and now really curious.

 

Wonder if the shaft also helps with right and/or left misses?

[tyorke1]

I don't know that sorry, these shafts are cheaper also like 220ish. I know the three of us ordered them. Crazy i have a zillion dollars in high end shafts and this one is giving me more distance. I have a black veleacore, a 1k , pro orange . Makes no sense. High and straight and long seems like a good combo.

I've caved in and ordered one.

 

I'm very happy with my current gamer  (Rogue ST Max 12 degree set to 11, with a KBS TD 60 Cat 4 / X Flex at 44.25").

 

It's a fairway finder but lacks a top gear, so I'm getting a 45.25" M0 in a ST Max 10.5 set at 9.5. Hopefully I pick up enough yards so it's worth having in the bag for holes without much trouble off the tee.

[Wewe]

I think I am just gonna order one 140 M0 just like in the TXG. Will update once I get to test it. My worst part of game is off the tee. If this can help me shave a few strokes of my games, would be excellent.

I don’t normally drink this Kool-Aid but with the three of us testing it and all three scratch players and we all know how far we hit it watching this driver shaft is pretty impressive. I don’t want to leave anybody astray. I don’t want anybody to buy anything without testing it if you can test them go ahead and do it, but I will stand by this post. The chef carries it further. It’s it higher and spends less. This is a voice to text post so I’m sorry if there’s some spelling mistakes.

My FX3.0 140 M0 arrived today.

 

I hit a few shots inside today and my first thoughts were that I was surprised that it didn't feel lighter (I'm used to an inch shorter) and how stable it felt. Ball speeds were up about 5-6 mph on my gamer.

 

Tomorrow I'm going on a 3 day trip to a tight course with the opportunity for a reload off nearly every tee so it will be a baptism of fire for this setup.

[zap311]

May be interested in trying this if I can find a shaft. Does anyone have thoughts on going for the FX 2.0 model vs. 3.0? And would any of the 140 line provide a similar feel? M0 is lightest at 46 grams, but M4 is only 51 grams. Here are the specs.

[GolfTurkey]

First round in the books. I was expecting a big two way miss but I either hit it straight or  a little push.

 

Flight was a bit knuckly for my liking and I was playing a 10.5 head lofted down to 9.5 so I'm hoping playing it at 10.5 today solves the push and kicks spin up a little. 

 

 

[GolfTurkey]

The loft adjustment did the trick and round 2 with this shaft was a succession of ~300 yard frozen ropes.

 

If you blindfolded me and asked me what flex this shaft was I would probably say stiff, I don't understand how the M0 flex feels this stable but it does. 

[GolfTurkey]

Third day of my trip I woke up with a SORE knee so I wasn't swinging very well (having surgery in just over 2 weeks). 

 

Driver was still decent and then I tried to crank my last two drives and hit them 331 and 322 yards respectively. Distances are deceptive due to baked out fairways but still good for around 300 in normal conditions I think with SS around 115. The shaft feels totally normal to me at that speed with no weird flexing or whatever (I have a moderate to slightly quick tempo).

If anyone wants to sell there’s let me know dying to try this experiment

Do you guys tip these, or straight in ?

I let several try it and and the same reaction like WTH , cant understand it. 

[artist08]

As an Autoflex owner, I would also like to try this.  Where are you guys ordering these from?  Directly from Accra?

[klund12]

Well, intrigued by this thread i had to give this a go.

Accra FX 140 M0.

Feels soft in the hands but as comments above fairly stable while swinging.

First sim session vs Ventus Blue TR. Swing speed and smash factor increased.

Ballspeed up from 165 to 171 mph, launch up 2 degrees and spin down 500rpm.

Dispersion in the sim was similar to the trusty Ventus shaft.

Excited to give this a go on the course.

You guys going all the way down to 140? M0 flex? What color? Was thinking green 240 m4.

Has to be a typo 140 M0 is wet noodle for a 170 ball speed golfer. Right?

[James Cole]

Anyone compared to the Riptide CB 45g A-Flex its supposed to be very close to autoflex profile. 

[klund12]

Watch the video. The shaft is crazy soft. Im guessing its a ladies shaft. 

I have not actually tried a autoflex shaft but this video got me intrigued and the price was reasonable to experiment. 

Not sure if it will stay in the bag but will test out dispersion on the course this weekend. 

Even if dispersion is slightly worse i think the distance increase is worth the tradeoff.

No typo, and feels strangely stable at that speed considering the specs.

 

There are also LD guys using it.

[boycer]

Anybody using the 240 green m3 or m4? 

[tyorke1]

I have not tried it but I might if my fitter gets one in.

@GolfTurkey and others, are you all building this longer than you typically play with something like a Ventus TR or at same length?
