Everyone seems to be discounting the Adams Speedline Driver and Hybrid. It seems unusual that this would occur so soon after they were introduced. Are they not selling or is there going to be improvements coming out? I was interested in these sticks, but am concerned that too good of a deal is just that and there is a reason for the discounting. Anyone playing the Speedline Driver or Hybrid. The Sandtrap review held them in high regard.

Until recently I was gaming an Adams Insight XTD that I got dirt cheap a few months after it hit the stores. I think its a brand/marketing issue. I haven't met many people that have hit Adams Drivers that didn't love 'em. I only gave mine up because it was offset.

It's a marketing issue. Ryan Moore, who refuses sponsorship, so he can play whatever he wants, won the Wyndham Championship with and still uses the Adams Speedline Driver (according to multiple websites) He's ranked 36th in driver distance.

I have the driver and hybrid-three wood. I liked them a lot, but am in the process of switching to a Nak HTEC 460, simply because the 9.5 speedline I have launches a little too high and with a little too much spin. I suppose that I could have gone with an 8.5, or a different shaft (I have an Ozik), but I really liked the Nak after I was fitted. I am keeping the three wood, as it hits nicely off the tee, and is very easy to hit off the deck and out of the junk.

The speedline for me was a consistant performer.

I love my Speedline driver, but only after cutting a little more than an inch off the shaft... 46" is too long for me to control. Before that, I was spraying it all over the place!

I suspect they're trying to clear house so that the improved Speedline 9032's can get some attention.

I've seen the Speedline driver gaining popularity on the Golden State Tour (a mini-tour I play on) these days. Makes me want to try one too. I think the srop in price would have to do with the possiblity of a new model coming. But that's just an assumption. I am not up to date on their equipment releases.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
