What is this BUDGET Autoflex Driver Shaft!? 

What fun watching, glad to see someone tinkering with different components to see about bridging the low cost to high cost of golf.

Damn, I love watching Simon when he's excited. Reminds me of a kid on Christmas morning. Great viewing!!!

Not knocking the guys who do the serious content... But seeing your enthusiasm for a slightly out there project was effusive! Really enjoyed that!

Simon, I actually have a 5A Ventus Blue in my Sim 2. It was a whim. Tried it in place of my normal X flex and the results were unreal. I tipped the shaft an inch and it is the straightest, longest driver I’ve ever had

Great fun mate nobody is making the stuff your doing on RU-vid. Thoroughly enjoyable 😁

Love the madness of this.

Well done Simon. Well done, Brute. You accomplished your goal: lowest spinning clubhead/whippiest inexpensive shaft combo. Now, your fans are also Brute 2.1 fans. It is obviously a great product for those who enjoy crushing the ego of any other competitor. I could not get a 5-degree driver off the ground: no matter the high quality of the clubhead. Loved it! A fun watch.

Awesome. Look forward to your long drive soon ⛳️👍🏻

Great video as always and so insightful to the guys who are constantly promoting everything new and better and most especially expensive. A quick question though - what brand of speed sticks are you using as it seems it is a single shaft with interchangeable weighted heads??

With hitting a low ball even with a 12 deg driver, I’d be hitting it underground with this club. Good vid Simon..

Thanks for watching guys! Probably should have a ply with a few more lightweight shafts and see what ball speed we can get with this combo 👀

This was low key brilliant. This was super creative lol

Love the chance to test a long drive driver

iv got brute 2.1 and love it but i know i need another shaft. i have it in hzrdus evenlow blue 6.5 to learn to hit it, gonna get a new shaft soon

Tap James R up for the autoflex. Would love to see it with the long driver head

Good luck

Manufacturers include more fibreglass in cheaper shafts. You can find some cheap drivers with 100% graphite shafts. The difference is that the more graphite they use the more torque (twisting) they retain. You can still get a whippy shaft but with less twisting. I have found them in a Hippo Giant and an old Maxfli driver. The best way to get a whippy shaft with a very low torque figure is to pull the steel shaft from an old laminate wood. The hozel is something like .27-29 so you need to shim it but that's better than any graphite.

Needs a early 2000s R flex shaft.

Just because its a lightweight shaft doesnt mean they are all the same. You have different actions just like fishing rods. you can have a slow action where the rod bends from tip to butt and on the other side you can have an x fast action where the rod is stiff from the butt to 3/4 down the shaft and then have the tip soft. Theres all kinds of ways to make the shaft have different flex properties with wraps and materials used. I know for Auto flex shafts you have to lower the weight to c8-D1 in order for them to work correctly.

I had one I played 2 rounds with it. Horrible it was like playing with a senior flex. I swing decently fast like 105-110. Some people love it for me it was a huge disappointment. I had it at the weight they recommended also.

I put a 65g reg flex in my TM SPBZ 3 iron. 250 carry. It goes high and travel like a rocket when struck properly Shaft broke so its dead now.

That autoflex pricetag is ridiculous.

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that Kyle Berkshire uses regular flex

What's your normal distance?

What if i put a decent senior flex in my Callaway GBB Epic Sub Zero head... What if i put an old man shaft into my SLDR 460cc... Bombs away, ya?! ✌

you may be the guy to talk to. I want to find a modern shaft that matches an original regular flex shaft from a 20 year old R580. I have no idea how to match it to a modern shaft and I can't hit anything that comes standard in a modern driver so I can't hit them to save my life. I crush my R580 out to 275 to 280. I hit a tour edge exotics out to 300 but can't find the guy to get the info off the driver.

SLDR 430?

Apparently Martin Burymeyor, probably spelt wrong, only uses a regular shaft And he's pretty long

Is it legal?

I play a few shafts lol I have a Stiff , a XStiff and a Reg and wow I see the diff in my swing in all 3 in the same driver head. Reg is way more spinny and can go big left or right hooks , the X is low and easily kept in play but hard to get in air going a long way , the stiff is perfect has low spin , hits it lower but can get it up when I focus more on set up and tee height , I keep it in play and goes the furthest of the 3. I can change shafts per course , short and tight I play the X and every other course I stay with the stiff. From now on tho I'm going to stick to buying stiff shafts. 1 of my most enjoying aspects of golfing is playing with diff shafts , from look , flex , feel , length and etc. 1 day I want a whole crate full of shafts lol.
