LA Golf Blue Series Driver Shaft

The LA Golf Blue Series is a late 2025 model. Its $149 price is a change for LA Golf and will be appealing to the recreational golfer not comfortable with the $300+ prices of high end graphite shafts.

And yet, at that price, the profile the quality of the shaft is first class. It is mid soft profile, the design of choice for the recreational golfer. My experience with the LA Golf Gold Series has been outstanding. The Gold Series has a full length layer of boron delivering uncommon stability. The profiles of the Gold and Blue were so similar it prompted a phone call to my friend at LA Golf. The Blue series is made on the same mandrel with less expensive materials. It could easily become available in more weights. If your looking to upgrade your OEM driver shaft with a more consistent shaft but are not willing to get into the $350 cost of premium aftermarket shafts you should try the LA Golf Blue Series.

The Nippon Modus3 110 is the third Modus3 shaft from Nippon ending with a 0. First was the 120, then the 130, now the 110. The moniker is a rough approximation of the weight, but also an reference to a unique bend profile from Nippon. Those shafts ending with a 5 are the same profiles with the numbers, 105, 115 and 125 indicating weight. In the Modus3 110 family, the weights range from R at 103g, S at 109g and X at 114 grams. Weight directly correlates to stiffness as it does in all steel shaft

Korean Hidden Technology autoFlex Dream7 Driver, Fairway and Hybrid Shafts

Korean Hidden Technology autoFlex Driver shafts came to the US market several years ago. I saw one in 2021. They cause a sensation with a $790 price point. They were very light weight and started a trend for light weight driver shafts. Ultimately most US golfers were not ready for light weight shafts at that price point.
The autoFlex Dream7 is a second generation autoFlex. It is lighter than the original model made with updated Japanese prepreg and 2nd generation Korean Hidden Technology. According to KHT the Dream7 has a new tip section to enhance impact performance.

I met with Korean Hidden Technology at the PGA 2025 merchandise show and shot an interview in their booth. It is on the list of videos that need to be published. They followed up with a shipment of review samples of every SKU they make. I don’t see much difference between the Joy365 and the original autoFlex shafts. The autoFlex website tells us the Joy is made with updated prepreg. the measured differences are subtle. Without hitting them I cannot comment on feel.

I met with Korean Hidden Technology at the PGA 2025 merchandise show and shot an interview in their booth. They followed up with a shipment of review samples of every SKU they make. This is the first Korean Hidden Technology shaft that was available in the US in 2021. I had access to a single shaft then unlike now that I have measured all the shafts available at https://autoflex.us/. It was no small task measuring the 100+ shafts they supplied. KHT makes driver, fairway and hybrid shafts in each model family. Some models also have matched iron shafts. This is unique. The autoFlex is available in 4 color choices. That added some confusion to sorting the review samples. You must ignore colors and focus on the model designation printed on the shafts.

I met with Korean Hidden Technology at the PGA 2025 merchandise show and shot an interview in their booth. It is on the list of videos that need to be published. They followed up with a shipment of review samples of every SKU they make. This is the first of many reviews of the 100+ shafts that arrived. They have created heavier, stiffer shafts for the US market. And, in many models they offer matched driver, fairway and hybrid shafts.
