I Found MY NEW DRIVER SHAFT For 2025!? – IT GOES MILES & STRAIGHT! We Tested the New Autopower Shaft by Autoflex – Is This the Next Big Thing in Golf?
Autoflex is known for making the most premium (and priciest) golf shafts in the game—but now they’ve released the Autopower, a more affordable option that promises the same mind-blowing performance. 🚀
In this video, we put the Autopower driver shaft to the test to see if it lives up to the hype. Can it really deliver longer, straighter drives without breaking the bank? How does it compare to the original Autoflex? And is this the secret weapon for golfers looking to add serious distance and consistency off the tee?
👉 We test:
Ball speed & carry distance
Dispersion & consistency
Feel & flex characteristics
If you’re looking for a game-changing upgrade to your driver, the Autopower might just be the shaft you’ve been waiting for.
💬 Let us know in the comments: Would YOU switch to the Autopower?

he always has to find a way to win doesn’t he
fairway that’s a bomb
wow so far in 2025 one of the most talked about drivers is of course the Tailor-Made QI 35 now I personally didn’t get on with it too much like a certain Rory Mroy but we’ve found what I think is the answer so guys we have a brand new upcharge shaft here it’s the auto power flex shaft and we’ve just done a video on my good friend’s channel Gaz gaz how are you
i’m good thanks i’m buzzing
so we’ll put a few highlights from that video on screen now oh guys how good’s that wow good again
they’re perfect oh that’s bomb
that’s really good that’s a bomb
wow to be honest it it kind of shocks me a little bit how good this driver setup is and I almost feel a bit bad for not giving the Qi35 as much attention as some of the drivers this year today we’re going to have a long drive challenge here at Woolly Park Golf we’re going to talk some numbers as well for this shaft cuz although it’s an upcharge shaft how much it’s not that expensive is it
it’s just in line with other sort of exotic shafts so it can be sort of you know up charge about £250 or this is from the Autolex family and we all know the Autoflex family it’s a,000 shaft isn’t it very expensive something that most golfers just aren’t going to pay but I think this setup I mean you tested it against your proper fitted 900 pound driver and I mean some of the numbers that we’ve seen were absolutely phenomenal so basically the winner of this challenge he gets to keep the shaft and put it in their bag for the rest of the season
i’m not sure I entirely agreed to that
i know that I remember you did didn’t he definitely also can we have a word for Bobby’s new hat he went to New York on holiday he’s got a new hat and I appreciate it just spin it around Bob and show them it’s a lovely hat would it devise people is it Is it What team is it
mets
mets what about So the Yankees fans wouldn’t like that would they
right so long drive on this first of all I’m going to use a seed cuz I think that it’s an SDX1 what are you using gas ball wise
i’ve got a tailor made project a
00 project A
i was going through practice bag do you want to talk about it or not
no no something’s happened we’re not going to talk about it right i’ve really enjoyed this so far let’s go bomb
that is absolutely fantastic
that’s why I didn’t agree to it deal honestly what you found here for the price cuz the big story here guys as well is whenever you get an Autoflex shaft or something within the Autoflex family guys you can tell us better it basically has to be swing weighted properly to the club
yeah so a lot of people go and test these other people have reviewed I’ll mention it rick’s reviewed it and they’ve not reviewed them in right swing weight they’ve just put them in their standard driver it had it has to be played in a light swing weight somewhere like D 0 to D1 D2 so very light
and that’s why we couldn’t do it in your stealth too because yours is a heavier swing
mine’s D7 so we couldn’t put it in the stealth to ED but if you get it the right swing weight you can get accuracy with these and people test them and they’re off the planet cuz they’re trying in D5 D4
speaking of off the planet let’s go guys if you’re new here make sure you do subscribe throw a like on this video and check out Gaza’s channel there’s some really good stuff he doesn’t wear that shirt all the time miami Vice or Ace Ventura [Music] miami Vice allighty then oh wow
that’s monster
that is so good why is it so easy today
we got to be on fairway or what
it’s probably not on fairway but it struck
this is where we just tweak the rules a little bit so that I potentially win and take the shaft but we didn’t say you got to be in the fairway so I’m going to say on this hole we don’t have to be but I think moving forward you do have to be
all right okay
i do think you’ve won that one because and to be fair if you’ve put like 20 yards on me there I’d rather have a wedge out of the semi- rough than an eight out
we’ll add that into the next couple
yeah you not brought a cab no I don’t need one i’m squinting a bit right so I must say um these are the this is the collateral damage from Gaza’s video and the consistency levels here this is the hardest driving hole on the golf course and you can see we’ve littered the fairway with this shaft so it really shows just how good it can be now my seed is here so it’s a good said about not missing the fairway where’s he running to there is that your um I don’t know
i don’t know do you
oh yeah double zero yeah i was thinking what number I did
what we saying then there
oh it’s Well I’m well i’m well
are you well in front
yeah gaz is like there i’m fine i’m over there
um I’m going to give you that cuz I think it is a couple of yards but in fairness really really impressed with that let’s move on to the next oh he’s picking his proper one up there i can’t
not
let’s move on to the next one where we’re downwind that was into the wind and I’m really impressed with how that low spin heads match with that shaft and we could be on to something here guys get in the comments below is this something you could see yourself potentially getting fitted into especially for the price of that kind of £300 mark instead of the 900,000 mark like the standard autoflex shafts have been coming out at right I’m going to give him that one that’s fair enough but this time we’re going to let Gary go first and then I’m going to have a bit of a tinker with it and see just if I can put it a bit more in my specs really really enjoyable so far but as a golfer you always want a little bit more don’t you go on guys i’ll let you go where have we Have we got a key yeah I think it might be in bottom pocket only thing I don’t agree with is like having to a fairway for a long drive cuz if you’re going for a long Oh there’s a neutror grain bar in here look we’ll have some of that strawberry
133 and free alongside the new Newton grade it wasn’t even neutra like grain and flow or something
it’s a ripoff in it
i’ll dispatch
right big one here that’s phenomenal is is it going to hold straightened up a bit
just down the left side i think it’s in the rough that
no it’s actually faded it’s missed on right side
oh is it
i think it’s either on right side at fairway or just in semi
i’m going to just cuz Gaz has got it set on so it’s 10 and a half this LS head of the Qi35 i do think this is a really nice head as well i love the smaller shape and design of it and I’m going to put it just in neutral so it’s 10 and a half so I think with the low spin head and with this shaft I should be able to launch it nice and high and we saw the spin numbers at around kind of 2,800 but if I can just get them down a bit with the launch it’s going to be absolutely perfect we do have the heavy weight in the fade setting here so that’s helping Gaz as well so we’ll move that into the draw setting uh and again this kind of triacal would you it’s not retract but these kind of tri weights really really good I think for shifting that CG around we’ve got the 3 g weight in the back we could make this more forgiving and put the 13 g weight right in the back but I think with a head like this you want that weight forward don’t you
i think now you’ve got these like launch monitor driving ranges and stuff you can really fine-tune your drivers can’t you
yeah and I mean the thing I would do and the thing that Oh no the thing that the guys at Tailor Made would always say is go and get fitted and then I think the worst thing they can do is send you one of these keys and they actually stop doing it now cuz people do just start to tinker a little bit but
I mean I’m saying this I’m tinkering with it now and I hit a really good drive
you know what you’re doing don’t you that’s the thing
yeah generally I like to think I know what I’m doing but then I think you also want to make sure What are you laughing at
is that cuz I like to think I know what I’m doing
prefer really not to not to speak if I speak I am in in big trouble
that’s Bobby gone got a job but this hopefully now will help me just aim down that right hand side and with my new ball position and my new swing thoughts this should be an absolute beast now so wish me luck it might go well it might not seed four come on seed four do you reckon there’s a bit of wind off left or did yours just fade too much
i’m just playing a fade at a minute yeah [Music] how good’s that
shot
that’s exactly what I was wanting i think we’re going to be side by side
i’ll tell you what it’s miles down there absolutely miles down there and that’s the first shot that I don’t feel like I’ve hit towi so potentially those bits of adjustments have worked really well with this auto power flex shaft
that is a win
it’s not i’m closer to fairway
that is a win
i’m closer to fairway
that That’s a win by an inch
you can get lost isn’t it Bob what about the one that’s closest to fairway well yeah but on the last one you were in the trees weren’t you
we’re both foe so none of you win
that’s That’s a great Yeah it’s a great point again though we’re a long way down here on this par five aren’t we and I know we have just missed a fairway but if we actually look at I hate being this guy but
wind going that I’ve gone like wind going that way but it is there is a bit of wind moving that way isn’t it the next hole we’re going to play with the wind moving this way and that sets up lovely for that big kind of right to left shot that I’m hoping to get from this driver so we’ll call that one a piece guys yeah i hope you’re enjoying this guys i’m really enjoying it
this is not the shaft is it
oh yeah
it’s not
you’re not having this shaft i am right um as a famous man once said Bobby I’m leaving with something
i’m like I’m leaving here with something
i’m having it right does feel like every hole has been into the wind doesn’t it
yeah this one definitely is it’s got to be off right though a little bit so I’m going to peg this nice and high and just try and really get it moving over i think a good solid one here captures it and really so this isn’t anything like the autoflex shafts that I’ve tested in the past having hit it numerous times now it does feel totally different it feels like a proper stout shaft and not like the really whippy one that you would expect cuz Chris always tops that doesn’t he remember every time he
um What is it it’s It’s a six is that the um
It’s just stiff career hidden technology like I mentioned that in your video didn’t I
k
i think there’ll be a lot of people tuning into this just to get our first impression because you know obviously people be sought after
it will be a sought after shaft
and uh
how many comments about the shirt do you reckon are in the video right now
mate come on you’re not that much better
hi this is getting sent by the way oh no oh oh he’s in the fairway that does this one doesn’t count for the long drive i’m going to concede it i’ve tried to go after that and it’s maybe just caught with me a bit but there we go
shot there we go i’m not blaming the shaft for that first one either that was me just going after it a bit but that’s big and that’s up there so I’m pleased with that
i’ll just hit one
could you see yourself using this shaft ladies and gents get in the comments below and let us know 300 quid guys said
well I think it’s in that region 349 same same as Velicoor really moving them all the way back just for this one shot
well I were hoping to play it rest
i’ve never seen anyone jewel look at this that’s unbelievable
it weren’t working
it’s working them both at the same time that’s unreal
i wonder if these weights fit in um
put the same one put the same one in the
No they don’t they don’t they don’t
i’m just putting it back in
are you left you left handed or right-handed yeah
rightanded stop doing that it makes me think of weird things two hours later right here we are
the thing is now he can just like pat one down there i’ve tried to go after it and a silly thing to do to be honest but
I’m going to just try and
it’s in the fairway
so if he misses the fairway this Oh you always have to find a way to win
in the fairway and it might have hit that tree and cannoned off but it is in the fairway
you’re right
what did you make of this hole when you shot 90 did you pick it left or right
i actually par this one hello darkness
oh that’s not what I wanted to hear
it’s the one that I did put
oh if it don’t fade from there why have you had to say that oh it’s going to fade it’s missing fairway
she’s mine keep going keep going keep going yes guys i’ve got a new shaft for my driver if you enjoy this video make sure you do hit that subscribe button below feel free to check out Gaz’s channel as I said he doesn’t always wear that shirt but apart from that cheers mate i’m leaving with something oh guys how good is that
i mean that’s going to be hard to beat 263 yds ball speed 152 nice again
where were this last week 265
we’re getting bigger we’re getting there
153

really good
107 107 club speed i’ve got it up to 157 ball speed so my longest yet and 274 distance but I did swing hard
that’s absolutely bang on isn’t it
but it did perform little bit towy felt good though see that 267 carrier with a towy one
and what were your balls i bet it was similar
ball speed 153 point something yeah we’re pretty similar on numbers i’ll get you a couple more another towy one really but I think I could do quite 260 car with that strike that’s a bomb

I showed this video to my mom and now she wants to be a blogger too. It's like we have a family project😛
My dog watched this video with me and now thinks she can be a star. It's time for her to go on YouTube🍓
Put the Autopower up against the Autoflex ?
Good choice in hats Bob
Where is shaft available ?
You should try the Newton shafts!!
Would love to see a test of the Newton motion shafts
The shaft is £ 465.00 on their website. I think the Ventus Velocore will still appeal more due to the cost saving….unless someone has money to burn.
What launch monitor was you using outdoors?
My play with golf polos is always the wilder the better. Gary don't listen to James 😂
Love your tee shots lads clean&crisp,but even me that would like the same tee shots can't see why people would want to pay £250 😮 for a shaft,I can understand somebody pursuing a career&turning pro on the circuit,but not your everyday golfer,not even sure somebody who really enjoy's golf would want to part £250+ but i can understand why your promoting them 😊 dont trust that james gaz he is having you off mate,you easily won him on the challenge,he was grinding you down so you eventually made a error 😂 👍 &tell Bobby he needs a floral bucket hat like mine or Gaz you get one to suit your cool golf shirt 😊
Is that my ping wrench he's got.
Yes like to get fitting with maybe the ping
Love the comment and the shirt
What camera have you shots this on? Looks great
Bobby was right, there was no winner on the 2nd hole – sorry James, you did not win 😮
The shirt? I am trying to unsee the white walls….
95% of the people who watch this probably wouldn’t even benefit from a upcharged shaft tbh
James love the channel but it's twice the cost. Not sure how it's "£300? Went online & USA it's $500. The lb ain't that strong Vs dollar. So for us it's TWICE the up charge over premium shafts most charge $250 for Velocore or GD Tour AD's etc. twice James that's not a close comparison
Also if the shaft was that good you’d see it be played but it’s not
LGM
Lets Go Mets 😁👍
Can you be more specific on what model of the Autopower Shaft was tested? Was this the Autopower Snipe?
$649 for the driver, $549 for the shaft upgrade…… that's one expensive driver.
Loving the Gaz
Quality video James
Dress code comes to mind, shirt out of the shorts.
Love to try the shaft but not paying 600.00 for a shaft
Tell Bobby he picked the WRONG NY team!!! NYY all the way!!
Bobby, do us a favour and let Gaz try your your hat would you? What’s going on Gaz? Get a hat deal.
The shirt ….no no no no gaz 😂😂
