SPY VIP Tony Covey MGS Posted July 2, 2012 SPY VIP Share Posted July 2, 2012 We know this is one you guys are going to be very interested in. We've received our samples of the Brand New Adams Speedline Tech Driver. We'll get started on the review ASAP. In the meantime, here are some pics. The Adams Speedline Tech is most certainly not a traditionally shaped driver. The head is visibly elongated. Everything about this setup scream forgiveness. Expect moderate to above average spin from this one...the guys at Adams have told me this is not designed to be a low spinning driver. Definitely let us know what you think about what you see.

Moecat Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Looks like the crown is a carbon composite perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfSpy WD Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Really nice looking head, but I really didn't like the RUL last time I tried it in my R11s, but it was a RUL 70, not 54. @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMiller Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 well at least Adams went back to a black crown on this driver, I personally don't like the gray on my Adams Fast 12 Ls but it is a beast so I deal with it. This driver has a carbon fiber wing on the back of it, not really sure what in the heck they were trying to achieve with that technology. I find this driver very well ugly looking but if it preforms it is what it is.

revkev Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I have the F11 - love it - don't know that I'd love this though - I like the more traditional look - however if I hit it well I learn to like it pretty quickly.

LBlack14 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Will it come in a standard epoxied head? I've got a SuperTri and honing this thing in is getting to be a PITA. Just received an F11 yesterday.

SPY VIP Tony Covey MGS Posted July 3, 2012 Author SPY VIP Share Posted July 3, 2012 What makes you think? Actually, the design is quite interesting. The face and majority of the crown are 6-4 Titanium. The elongated "Wing" on the back of the club is actually made of composite. I haven't had a chance to hit this yet, but it will be interesting to see what impact the carbon fiber has on sound and feel.

Just received an F11 yesterday. I don't have any absolute knowledge, but I doubt we'll see an epoxy version. I think the days of anything non-adjustable in the driver space are just about over (for the bigger OEMs anyway). MyGolfSpy is only major golf site that refuses advertising from large golf companies.

The elongated "Wing" on the back of the club is actually made of composite. I haven't had a chance to hit this yet, but it will be interesting to see what impact the carbon fiber has on sound and feel. It should be interesting to say the least. Carbon fibre is a really interesting material, and I would guess the use of it here will create a much lower almost persimmon type sound while retaining the rigid feel we associate with modern oversized drivers. My other sport of choice is bicycling, and rode aluminum frames for about 20 years before going over to the dark side with a carbon frame just this season. The ticking sounds of pebbles and such banging off the frame are sounds I have known for a long long time, and the aluminum frames always maintained that metallic ping. Carbon is a low frequency, quiet 'thunk'. Looking at the driver though, I think this thing may be indicative of the future, not just in increasing swing speed, but the shape of that "wing" could have an effect on swing plane and help right the club face given enough control surface. I suspect that weight and balance is what has prevented the use of this kind of shape before. Carbon gives a lot of options with it's high strength low weight, and with modern carbons not being as brittle as they have been in the past, this could be the beginning of a trend pretty easily.

Golf Circuit (James) Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Awesome stuff guys! Obviously with CORs maxed, more and more manufacturers are starting to turn to aerodynamics to try and squeeze more distance out of their driver designs. I wonder if the USGA is going to put some sort of speed limit on clubhead design in the future?? Also, as a little shameless plug I thought I would mention we've got the Speedline Tech Driver here, and we're also running a special on the Speedline Fast 12 Driver here. Cheers!

dru_ Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Love the looks of this club just a dumb question didn't diawa try carbon fiber back in the 90s or so Carbon Fiber from the 90's and carbon fiber today is very different. Back then it was quite brittle. Todays CF is more like aluminum than anything else. Really interesting to see how this plays out.

gunmetal Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Not designed to be low spinning???? Wtf not?!?!? Because anyone who swings under 100 mph (most golfers) needs MORE spin. Spin isn't always the enemy. It's just the enemy for everyone here and at the other equipment forums because we all happen to be scratch golfers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
