Bombs away |

I've been searching for the perfect driver for a long time. I found this one, on a whim, and decided to put it to the test against my previous driver and the other big 3's newest offerings (TaylorMade R11, Titleist 910, Callaway Razr Hawk). What I came away with was a purchase of the best driver I've hit to date. The 9064LS is the easiest to hit driver on the market. I built it with a Diamana Blueboard and cut it at 44.5 inches long. Other manufacturers tout having the longest driver on the market, and they gain their distance with shaft length. Adams does it with the technology in the heads. If you want the lowest spinning, longest driver on the market, definitely look here. Adams has once again delivered another solid product, and one that in launch monitor sessions blew by the other offerings on the market. Taylor Made aims their marketing at Callaway, but the catgory leader is still miles ahead of both of them for sheer distance and accuracy. I never thought I'd see a deep faced driver that was low launch and low spin. Not since Adams 9015d has there been as good of a low spin monster. Give it a whirl on a launch monitor and you'll be plesantly surprised at your results. Spin is a killer for a large number of golfers, this one kills spin. Mine is an 8.5 degree model, which is the same loft I demoed in the other heads. So put up your ghosts, hawks, and adjustability and get with the program for true engineered distance.

Speedline 9064ls 10.5 |

Great stock shaft with the Aldila RIP Alpha stiff.My swing speed is around 105 and this driver(10.5)/shaft combo has really opened my game up to a new level. I can work this club, no problem. My old driver was a TM r7 460 and my spin rate was high,3500. This driver knocked it down to under 3000.My only complaint is the stock grip...

In the past 18 months, I have gone through 3 Taylor Made drivers and 3 Titleist drivers, including the latest offerings from both. Nothing comes close to this 9064LS (WHICH TOTALLY CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD),....and what a difference this driver has made for me. I went with the 9.5 X-stiff R.I.P Alpha and there is NO comparison. The flight is that lower "tour" boring trajectory that you dream about, and the distance is consistently 290+. More important, it is the straightest driver I have ever hit. Do your game a favor and go buy it. Don't get caught up in the hype of a white head or a $399+ price tag...this $149 beauty will be in the bag for a looooong time!
JUST MAKE SURE TO PUT A NEW GRIP ON IT!
