LOFTS: 8.5, 9.5, 10.5; draw: 9.5, 10.5, 12.5, HL
TECH TALK: The company believes big, boxy drivers lose clubhead speed because of increased drag, so the head shape of the Speedline has been streamlined to help achieve aerodynamic efficiency. Design features include scooped heel and toe slots, a smaller face and optimal crown height and curve.
PLAYER COMMENTS: (M) "Just flat-out bombs it. The head shape is different but not distracting." ... (L) "It might be ugly, but I could be dating it. The ball goes far."... (L) "The rounded sole rocks like an egg, but the ball comes off the face easily." ... (T) "Surprised. Hit some beautiful soft fades with that toe-y head. Smaller face can encourage center hits."
HOT: There is a sense that Adams has discovered something others have overlooked. The good news is, it still looks like a driver.
NOT: Some MOI has been sacrificed.
