Adams XTD TI Driver

[asf72]

Ive liked the look of the last few Drivers Adams have had out, even a white one. the trouble is they only ever offer one shaft option, or did anyway. first one i tried had a Prolaunch blue a a high launching shaft that just went way to high for me. when i asked about upgrading to a prolaunch red i was told the head was designed for the shaft that it cam with Last year they had the speed line out looked good, tried one but only came availble with a Kura Kage shaft which went high and right to put it mildly. no other shaft options and the same story.

shame.

Why dont you just buy a head then get a shaft you want, I have a fast 12 whats cheap enough and near on new 9.5 degs, I'll kerp the shaft as I quite like it.

Keep eyeing up the speedline lp or speedline fast 12 3 woods as they can be had for £60 on ebay brand new

They seem nice

Because why would you spend £200 + on a driver you didn't get on with and been told the head is designed to be used with that shaft. to have to buy another shaft that might not fit with the what the head is designed to do>>> that's why

Bizzare........ For the record, mine is going nowhere!

 

[Liqdaddymac]

Out of interest, what were direct golf selling them for?

 

[asf72]

£329.00

 

[Liqdaddymac]

Wow, paid £214 for mine in the States - fitted nicely in a snowboard bag.

Lol...lucky sod!!!

Any pointers to a shaft that could generate a tad more launch, I like playing with shafts...golf shafts that is..lol...had a bimatrix and a YSQ in the g25 which went well but still looking for the Holy Grail.

Advice further up re: White Tie could be a good starting point.

Another, and probably better, option would be going to a shop with Taylormade cart and launch monitor… try them all out!!

I am getting 15degree launch with 2200 spin with my 10.5 - just shows how clubs vary from
swing to swing

Now those are some good numbers… assuming you have the ball speed to warrant them!

 

[Liqdaddymac]

158 ball speed average, was getting 154 with my Xhot with same shaft at same session.

 

[asf72]

I cant wait to get it out on the course, just need weather to get better and hopefully my thumb will have knitted together as it split open again whilst hitting the XTD, my nice white FJ glove has a funny shade of red in the thumb

 

[asf72]

Well...had the driver out today and all I can say is...wow....what a weapon, launch is better than I thought and quite easy to shape shots with too, nice soft springy feel to it too.

That's just total Twaddle (by Adams)!

As believable as Cleveland (UK!)'s 'We want to monitor the shafts, so aren't selling adapters'!

I would normally have credited both companies with far better approaches to Customer Service than that!

Adams are (were) normally really good at providing 'real deal' shafts either as standard (presumably like this one) or as no-cost custom 'upgrade' to cover a range of desired launch/spin - even if only to cover Hi, Mid and Low. Absolutely pointless, imo, doing all the QC to ensure everything about the head is to spec, then limiting customers to a single shaft - which may not be appropriate to them!
