Adams XTD Drivers

[Jensen]

One for either those that own one or have tried one.
How do these drivers compare to other drivers you've had and which driver did it replace ?
Is this club longer and more forgiving than anything you've hit ?
What does the club sound and feel like at impact ?
How long have you been playing this club now ?

From the reviews I've read it's like something never been experienced before.
The revelation is like the equivalent of cavity back introduced to irons.
Your comments please.........

Here's a review, though I'm not sure how reliable the reviewer is!

I'm a fan of Adams gear, and have a 9064LS backing up the ever faithful 9015D that is my preference. Had Adams 3-woods and Hybrids in the past and they have been top-notch. Irons have a great reputation too.

FWIW, I wouldn't get sucked in by either the Velocity Slot or the 4 times/head examination being geared for maximum COR. They are quite capable of achieving hot, but conforming, faces without those 'gimmicks' and there's some sort of inspection after every stage of the manufacturing process!

If you can pick one up for a decent price, then they as good, or better, than most other Drivers. The shaft is a 'real deal' one that is suited more to a 'hitter' than 'swinger' - quite stiff-tipped - so, unusually for Matrix, Stiff is slightly too stiff for me (a swinger).

This was discussed in the above thread. Have one and love it myself.

Find it very forgiving shots out if the heal and toe go well, and when caught out of the middle it really does go.

I do not know if this features in the TM loft up thingy, I have a 12 degree one as I always had a low flight with a driver and I find it longer than any driver I have had and for me it does go quite high.
