Adams

[Redd Zone]

Has anyone hit the Adams F11 3 wood? I don't use a driver so I am trying to find a wood that will give good distance.

I hit one last weekend against a few others at golf galaxy.  I can't give a great review, as I don't care for the Voodoo shaft that was in the tester.  The head looked and felt good, shots were nothing out of the ordinary however.

The distance was on-par with the Superfast 3, better shots rolled out to 270 carrying around 250 yards.  I really loved the Cobra S2 3 wood with the Fuji Fit-On Max shaft, it was an awesome club.  This was a great feeling combo for me, great feedback at impact too.

Have you tried higher lofted drivers? You may do very well with an 11 or 12* driver with a shaft fit for you.  It will give you a little more distance than a 3 wood while you gain confidence. Sorry, OT I know, but maybe it is something to think about.

This is a great point.  Don't rule out a higher lofted driver w/ or w/out a shorter shaft.  Drivers are easier to hit than ever, and I think a modern driver is definitely easier to hit off of a tee than a 3 wood.  Try choking down a couple inches so the shaft is about 43" (3 wood length).

Anyone else wonder why adams doesn't make a black fairway wood to match their black drivers and hybrids, irons etc.? This thing would be hot shit if they blacked it out, and it would hide the channels a little better, too.

I agree. I guess they are trying to put attenion on them kind of like TaylorMade's red plate and large cutouts for the screws, but for most enthusiasts I am thinking they would be better hidden. I think a flat black could look really good.

if u like the Fast 11, the Fast 10's can be had for cheap

i just picked up a Fast 10 3 wood for $100 brand new from GT

Their black finish doesn't wear worth a poop.

I hit one on a simulator, but it was hard to tell exactly how it "plays." Carry was good. Feel was good. I personally liked it, but Im becoming an Adams guy more and more. Im thinking about replacing my current 3 wood with this new Fast 11. I wont be giving up my PING i15 5 wood though, that thing is money!!

I've got one of the super hybrids, and I actually like that it wears out a little. The sweet spot is getting a bit of wear and it looks kinda cool. I like the blacked out woods (Adams, TM, Titleist, Cobra etc.)
