Oh my!!! I did NOT expect this.... I put the brand the new Taylormade Qi10 Max 2024 driver with a $850 autoflex shaft against a stock shaft.. and well, it is safe to say I DID not expect to see the results I did. In this video we settle the argument of is an UPGRADED expensive rare $850 shaft any better than a STOCK shaft that you just take off the shelf? I put this to the test! Not only testing these shafts in a normal 2024 driver head but I place this $850 shaft in a Taylormade Qi10 MAX driver one of the most forgiving drivers of 2024! We often think that just spending more money is the way to get more consistent and hit the golf ball longer and straighter but compared to a stock driver shaft in a taylormade Qi10 max does this rare expensive shaft go and long and is it any more consistent?
We put to the test a Kali blue golf shaft from Mitsubishi Kali Blue Shaft up against a AUTO FLEX golf shaft a very rare version of this! what would you do would you go for the expensive shaft? Lets hit 5 golf balls with each and see on a fair test using the exact same Taylormade Qi10 max driver head which golf ball goes the longest and the most consistent. I Put a $850 AUTOFLEX Shaft In The Qi10 MAX DRIVER VS STOCK SHAFT...HOLY MOLY. I TESTED this $850 shaft VS STOCK & these are the RESULTS This $850 DRIVER SHAFT is NOT what you think...VS STOCK SHAFT

@chadweirup5068 6 ай бұрын

I think it was. I play a lot of tight courses, and penalties can really kill a round. For me, it wasn't so much about distance but knowing that I have a good level of forgiveness. For that, I feel it was worth the money. I am hoping it will be the final thing to let me see the 70's.

Without reducing the head weight there won’t be much difference, so I’m not sure ‘this’ experiment will prove much. But if you switch out the head weight to a lighter one, to get the head weight to about 183-184g you will see a difference. It’s just a different way of setting up a driver.

I just bought that shaft this year, and I played about 20 rounds with it. What I noticed is on perfect impact it is about 10-15 yards longer, so that might not be great, but where it really seems to shine is on off-center strikes. It seems to keep ball speed and line fairly well even from toe or heel.

The Pro at my local course several years ago fitted himself with the Autoflex shaft, he first tried it in his gamer driver head 10.5 neutral setting , and like you to much spin and just a steady 3-5 yard gain. He then tried the low spin head of the same model but a 9 degree head set standard/neutral and that was the winner. There was still moderate trajectory. low spin and a steady 15 plus yard gain and still very good dispersion. The guy is a real player and a damn fine teaching pro, he says this shaft stays in the bag. So yes, try the low spin model. Great video, thank you.

I got my AutoFlex a couple years ago now. I had it fitted by a world class fitter - the loft and choice of head were tuned to the shaft. With that combo I was carrying the ball to where it had previously rolled out to. An average of 20 yards more. Oh, and a lot more in the fairway too. Win-win.

I’ve played an Autoflex SF 405 in a Titleist TSR1 head for a couple years. It is 46 inches, D 2 SW (with a lighter weight in the head). I can honestly say it is the longest, straightest driver I have ever played (and I’m 76 years old and have played golf for over 66 years)! I am still a scratch player with 95 mph club speed. I don’t know how this thing works but I am about 15 yds longer carry than any other shaft (and I’ve tried a lot of them). Like several of the commenters have stated, it is imperative that you play this shaft at 46 inches and D0-D2 SW to get maximum performance.

Have had the blue in my Qi10 for about 2 weeks now. Out of the gate I noticed how consistent the kick was between the on course and the 100% swings on the range. I have the 70x model. I don’t have to over-swing/change my setup to get the shaft to perform. Carry and total are consistent even at 118-122 club head speeds. Enough spin and launch to sit and stop in the 300-320 range i expect out of driver. Kaili Blue is a breath of fresh air. I have tried too many hzrdus/tour AD/ventus/tensei shafts to count. This thing is smooth, consistent and easy to hit. It is also a “stock” option on TM’s website and maybe 250 to get from non OEM’s (I can’t speak on this price, didn’t do my research). Give it a try!

I've been testing an autoflex 505XX in a TSR2 8 head and to get the benefit you really should play it over length. Mine is at 46". Playing at 46" with a lighter weight in the head I was getting my ss up decimal points above 115, when I was about 105-108 since golf season ended in the US. Ball speed went up above 165 as well when I was usually about 157-159. I didn't pay retail for the shaft, so I don't know if it's worth the retail price tag, but it can def up the swing and ball speed. I can't wait to get into midsummer form and see what numbers I can get.

Similar comment as a guy below, the Qi has a swing weight of D4 with stock shaft, with the lighter AF that could be way up D6/7. For the AF to flex correctly the SW needs to be D1.5 (less on the slower swing shafts) to achieve that swing weight you'd have to reduce the head weight by a lot, it's that, that leads to faster swing speeds. Of course lossing rear weight on the 10K drivers would loss the 10K.(not that I believe its adjustable but if it where it'll drop out of 10K)

It’s not for the aggressive transitions- it’s a really good training aid.

I love when a review is honest, don't blow bubbles to keep maker happy, you did that, thanks Alex. Don't like the color, looks like the graphics usually used on female shafts...and it's flexible, regular at best, [probably between regular and senior , you were able to control that flex, peeps like myself don't have that skill. The reason you didn't get distance is you're over 110 mph club speed, any flex doesn't help you, even myself with around 90 won't get anything out of this. Seniors might see distance over regular or stiff, but they can just get an inexpensive flexible shaft and get the same benefit. This shaft is show and tell, "I have money and waste it away because I have money.

Good test, however, The Autoflex seemed to hit the ball higher leading me to think you could have decreased loft of the driver to equalize flights between the Kali and the Autoflex. In addition I saw a test where a KZfaqr called something like "the Mobile Club Fitter" compared an Autoflex with a cheap shaft that had a similar weight and a similar bend profile; the cheap shaft performed as well as the Autoflex. From what I have seen I think the right shaft can make a significant difference and The Autoflex might be right but a less expensive alternative might be close to right.

Here is an interesting issue. A senior or lady flex shaft or a regular shaft compared to a stiff or extra stiff shaft is going to affect the position of the head at impact. Across the entire spectrum. There is forward and backward flexion but some degree of flexion in all directions. Very hard then to get a more flexible shaft to impact position. Likely all should use less flexible shafts. Do the physics. Think about it. Yes there is some spring effect but ball contact improvement likely should be the key to improve and play your best. Can’t do it if the shaft is going to be flexing in each different direction.

Spin numbers lower, more club head speed. Really impressive. I would definitely recommend if you want more club head speed & yardage.

I would bet a million dollars, it only cost less than $50 to make. MENTAL!

For the price, it should swing itself!!!!

Forgot to mention I’m playing it in TSR2 Head with a 6 gram lighter weight than the standard one

You satisfied my curiosity on the auto flex, not worth it. But now you have me very curious to try the new TM q10 max driver. And I’m impressed with kali shaft, very cool it held up against that expensive autoflex. 😮

Love the video. Could you please try the Graphite design tour AD VF or UB 6S with a low spin club head of your choice? thanks.

You should try a senior shaft. I think it could be close to the same as the auto flex for much less money!

This is an awsome idea James I am going to have to try this 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼☺️

My friend got 1, his drive is further then stock shaft I would say 15 meters, these shafts are good for slow swing less then 85 mph off the tee. Can't go hard swing on it, it is not design for hard hitter.

Tour players dont bother with this, the couple that tried it out when it came out got rid pretty quick, thats enough for me to not even consider it, especially when Velocore and velocore tr are only £300 :D

Good Test! No use get expensive shafts!

@golfish8589 6 ай бұрын

I think you should hit 50 more shots with the autoflex. You would never exclude a shaft after 5 swings. Especially after a 301

A quality golf coach combined with a structured fitness program might be more advantages to your overall game.

You hit the AF 13 yards longer than the Kaili. That’s not to be sniffed at to be fair. I’d imagine with a bit more time with the shaft that would be 20yds. Then it becomes worth every penny.
