Anyone here play last years Speedline F11 or F11 Ti fairway woods? I am in the market for some new fairway woods. I went to Dick's SG last week and hit the RBZ 3 woods and Adams Speedline 11 3 wood in the simulator, I have to say that the Adams felt pretty good compared to the RBZ. So I demoed the RBZ 5 wood last friday at a local course and liked it alot. But was unable to demo the Adams since they did not carry it.  DSG's and Edwin Watts have the Adams on sale for $99 as compared to the RBZ for $229. Just wanting some opinions from anyone on how you like them. Easy to hit of the deck or tee? Other fairway recommendations?

I have the Adams F11 Ti fairway wood. Did not compare it to any other fairway wood before buying so I cannot help with the comparison you are looking for, I previously owned an adams F10 and loved it off the tee and off the deck but wanted more distance so I went for the adams and the price was $99 so it was a win win for me IMHO. It takes a little getting used to hitting the larger head off the deck but I am pleased with its performance.

Recently switched from a Nike Sumo fairway wood, to the Adams F11 Ti (3W).  At least for me, WOW.  The reviews of the thing having a hot face are not exaggerated.  Stock Aldila shaft is just fine for me.  Great off the tee (i hit it almost as long as my driver if the fairway isn't wet), and I have no problems hitting it from the fairway either.

Based on the deals, i also picked up an Adams 5W, although I went with the Speedline LP instead of another F11, as i'm a low-ball hitter; i found the LP definitely launches higher than prior 5W's with the same loft i've had, and the face is still quite hot.  Thinking of moving to an LP 3W also...

So my two cents would not to be to waste your money on an RBZ, when you could get two Adams instead for the same price!

I've hit the F11 Ti and own 2 F11 steel Fairway woods. The Ti model is a great head, very long club...it just didn't fit my gaps (too long). So I opted for the steel head and it fits perfectly for me. Great feeling club, easy off the tee and turf, and pretty forgiving. Only downside for me was the stock VooDoo shaft. While it felt good, it launched too high and with too much spin for me. I put a Harrison Saga in my 3 wood and love the club, working on finding a new shaft for my 5 wood at the moment. Plus, they can both be found new for under $100 which is a steal for such a great club.

    • I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉 
    • Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.    
    • I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
