Lol.  All of this new equipment that is coming out is driving me crazy.  It cannot ever remember a time when it seemed like all of the major oems are bringing their A games at the same time.  2013 is going to be a great year for all of us "ho's".....

"It is the new speedline driver coming out for 2013. I saw one today at an Adams event in AZ. On the tour version, the writing is gray so hard to pick out against the white head. The standard version has reddish writing. Both look very good. On another note, I personally saw aaron baddely hit his "gamer" fast 12ls and get a trackman reading of 311 carry. He took the head off his shaft and replaced it with the retail version of the new tour head. His first 3 drives were 321, 324 and 328. Witnessed this in person. He put his "old" head in a pocket of his bag and put his ratty old koala or roo, whatever it is on the new driver and bagged a new "gamer". This happened today. I did not get pics of the clubs, but I saw the fairways, also. All heads are white."

Saw the new drivers and XTD stuff last weekend. Drivers are both white with some grey and red graphics on the crown. "S" driver has one head with loft that adjusts from 9-11 degrees if I remember correctly.  "LS" head is also adjustable, but has different loft heads.  New XTD fairways no longer have external weights to fall off.

[TheMoneyShot]

As the new XTD fwys titanium and adjustable?

[SeattleLefty]

TheMoneyShot: yes and yes.

Wow, thank you!  This could be the fwy for me then in 2013 especially if they corrected the weight issues.  I'm glad to see that TM is not getting in the way yet of the Adams line.

[ladahl]

So will the SLT and LS12 adaptors work in these heads? (I hope )

[jmcdonald]

Wow that does look nice! Any word on possible release date...? If I had to guess I'd say February at latest...?

[Ranger Rick]

Hubba hubba. How does a speed slot keep the head below .830 COR? Hopefully the Fast 12LS will now go on sale and I can pick one up on the cheap.

Yes, check the photo, near the face.......... VST, ie Velocity Slot Technology is incorporated in this new driver!

[bakeneb]

Nice!  Any pics of the new XTDs?

[jmcdonald]

Jaw dropping!! I play the fast 12 LS , and XTD 3 wood and 17*...I can't wait to get ahold of these to try them out! Have you heard anything on a possible release date...?

[viperstudio]

very nice but i still dont like gaming the adjustable drivers for some weird reason. is there a glued version?

[jmcdonald]

I'm sure there will be a tour issue glued driver.

[akap4surf]

The driver and fairway look so awesome! I'd definitely play both

[JHam10]

Anyone else  think this is the actual driver from the Taylormade thread a couple weeks ago?

http://www.golfwrx.c...lormade driver

[jmcdonald]

Not the same club. I seriously doubt they will put a "Taylormade" name with the "Speedline" line of clubs. Thats def an Adams product. I know TM owns Adams now but they are keeping the two companys seperate still. Might share technologies but they wont put TM on Speedline club. Thats def the new Adams Speedline series.

[Padre John]

Wonder how it compares to a launch lab?

[jmcdonald]

It will be interesting. Adams always makes great drivers and they are getting better every year.

[PrO_D_BoMbEr]

Not a fan of the sole graphics, but at least being graphics and not weight plates they won't fly off.

[Padre John]

Can't wait to try the fairway woods as well.  Loved my XTD 14.5 but the weight kept falling out.  Adams might let me do a swap for one of these new ones.

[SkyyDesigns]

Was gonna buy the Adams Launch Lab sunburst grey but this thing looks like a stealth bomber...would also look killer with my cmb's!

I hope so!!  Have a few shafts already with the adapter that I bought for the fast 12 LS.

[Mich Nick]

Get in before they remove these pictures.  Oh wait this isn't the Taylormade tread.

The sole almost looks like the Dick's only Burner 3.0 driver... Not a fan either, but I'm surre I'll try one.
