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!

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
