I am super excited with this Testing opportunity. Heard a lot over years about Autoflex and have seen a few shafts but never actually tried one. So the chance to try the new Dream 7 is really exciting. Thank you to the Mods for selecting me. I am very honoured. I will give the Forum some detailed analysis comparing this shaft to my GD Tour AD DI 6S. Looking forward to seeing how much more distance or accuracy / dispersion reduction this shaft provides.

Harry Pearson Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Congrats, all. I just researched these shafts after having read an article on Adam Scott. He went to these last year and said everyone was amazed at the added distance he'd gained. He subsequently went to a different shaft which gave him more accuracy.

I can tell you that all the testers (myself included ) are VERY excited about this one. I am really looking forward to putting this shaft on my Qi10 Max and comparing it to the 2 current shafts I have: Tensei AV Limited Blue 60R and C6 Blue 60S.

My thought is, it's an Autoflex and you're going to have a fun time testing for us all, so you might as well pick something bright that stands out.
