I have known Alex Dee one of the founders of Aretera for a very long time. He was an early coach in my journey of golf shaft technology. This is the first of many video productions with Alex: https://youtu.be/DTu75Ue-udQ?si=6UKpwM8eXMKfu1zQ

The first Aretera products are driver shafts, Blue and Gray. They are both covered in this review.

Graphite Designs Anti-Gravity Driver Shaft Review

Graphite Designs Anti-Gravity Driver Shaft

There have been a number of ultra light driver shafts in 2024. I attribute this to the autoFlex original ultralight shaft. It is a uniquely light weight shaft that was popular in Asia. When released in the US it got the attention of many, including a few tour players. I have not found many US players that swing as slow or as smooth as a light weight soft shaft requires. That fact is echoed in the 2025 release of the a heavier stiffer model line from Korean Hidden Technology for the North American golfer. I will soon get to measure both the AutoFlex and AutoPower shafts.

The Graphite Design ultra light weight Anti-Gravity aG33-3 is a few grams lighter than the now discontinued Chichibu reviewed in 2018. The Anti-Gravity is made with the latest TORAYCA M40X carbon fiber. It is a few grams lighter and slightly firmer in the mid and butt section than the earlier Chichibu.
