I guess I really didn't add as much to the thread as I should have, so here it goes:

Let me begin by saying that I absolutly hate super mach speed drivers, in particular, the TM Superfast. I couldn't hit the side of a red barn, on cloudless Kansas summer morning with that thing if I wanted to. Just something about it makes it incredibly difficult for me to close the face. So her comes the new Adams Speedline. The two top things that I love about it, is that it doesn't look like a "Superfast" driver, and it doesn't seem to feel absolutly weightless in my hands. It is not heavy by any means, but unlike the TM, you know its there in your hands. It has a very traditional, and somewhat deep face to it that I adore, but the real winner here, however, is the shaft. I was actually fitted for the R.I.P shaft on a launch moniter fitting, and I absolutly love the performance of it. It just feels rock solid, and in turn, I have never been more accurate with a big stick than I am with this driver. The adjustable face model is a fun piece of equipment that lets you play with your trajectories, but be forewarned, it does have a unique sound to it at impact. It doesn't bother me, but it may bother others.

The looks, feel, and performance is just unmatched in my opinion. If youre looking for "Superfast" driver that is classic looking, easy to hit, and long, then I would wager that you have no need to look any further for a boom stick. Go to your local shop and try one out!

    • Question on realistic expectations.  I did a couple of quick google searches, one on "Average Club Head Speed of a 64 year old Amatuer" and one on a 64 year old Professional.  For the amatuer is indicated between 75-85 and for pros @ 105-112.  I am currently @ age 64, High HCP and @ 90mph.  I do not consider myself an above average golfer so I am a little shocked that I may be near the upper range for my age.  Are these stats accurate? I am hoping to get an increase in speed & distance, but if stats from Google are correct I am already a little above average for an amatuer my age so maybe improvement may be limited.  I plan to shoot for as much improvement as possible and am just curious what a reasonal expectation may be.
    • Where do you tend to miss it? When the green is below you, the ball is spending more time in the air, so to the extent that side spin is making it move one way or the other, it has more time to do that and therefore will be affected more. That's why it's so dang hard to hit a fairway that's a long way below you. When the ground gets in the way it stops the slice/hook spin from moving the ball away from the middle. If you play, let's say, a fade, then you want to aim further to the left to allow the fade to move the ball further. That also means if you play for a fade and don't hit a fade you're going to miss by more than you would if the green was at the same level.  I think the person who brought this up is trying to limit the impact of that by hitting it lower so the ball doesn't spend as much time in the air. If that's not how you normally hit it and you haven't practiced it, then it's likely going to be more detrimental than just figuring out how to deal with your normal shot.
