Adams Blue driver hits USGA conforming list

Published

on

Adams Golf hasn’t released a new driver since the 2014 XTD, but it looks like a new driver from the company is on the way.

Adams Blue driver now appears on USGA’s list of conforming clubs. Our sources say it will have a low, rearward center of gravity that tends to work well for golfers seeking more forgiveness from a driver.

From the photo, it looks as though the Blue also has a channel on the sole, which we think may be used to boost ball speeds on shots hit across the face.

The driver is registered on USGA’s conforming list in both right-handed (9.5, 10.5 and 12 degrees) and left-handed (9.5 and 10.5 degrees) options.

    If these clubs had TM or Titleist logos, all the bashers would screaming like Justin Beiber fans about how great they were and how they must have them.

    Hey all: Kinda funny to see all the comments about how ugly this new Adam driver is from just a black n white pic. that said I wounder if Adams now owned by TM/Adidas should stick to what they do well fairway woods hybrids and irons. How much longer TM keeps Adams around other than hybrids is any ones guess. Thanks

    If anyone wasn’t sure about how TMAG would let Adams die of insignificance outside of hybrids, here’s Exhibit A.

    Haha, we saw it from the rep the other day, it’s just a cheap box set type club for their new line. They are going way cheap. Haha “D” weight that’s funny!

      Maybe because it doesn’t really matter for this little blurb? Sorry your feelings got hurt.

    Looks like the “D” accent might also be some sort of weight, to give the driver a bit of draw bias. This combined with the low and back CG probably confirms that the Blue line will favor mid to higher handicap markets. Wonder if they’ll come out with a Driver and more woods for the Red line.

Choose Your Driver: Which 2012 driver was your favorite?

Published

on

The year was 2012. Gangnam Style ruled supreme, its infectious beats and ludicrous horse-riding dance moves hypnotizing us with their stupidity. Everyone was talking about the Mayan calendar, convinced that the end of days was near. Superheroes soared on the silver screen, with the Avengers assembling in epic fashion. Katniss Everdeen survived The Hunger Games. And the memes! The memes abounded. Grumpy Cat triumphed. We kept calm and carried on.

In much the same way that automotive enthusiasts love classic cars, we at GolfWRX love taking a backward glance at some of the iconic designs of years past. Heck, we love taking iconic designs to the tee box in the present!

In that spirit, GolfWRX has been running a series inspired by arguably the greatest fighting game franchise of all time: Mortal Kombat. It’s not “choose your fighter” but rather “choose your driver.”

Check out some of the standout combatants of 2012 below.

Nike VRS

Often harshly critiqued during its years releasing golf equipment (right, Phil Mickelson?), Nike’s tenure in the club-and-ball business gets a gloss of nostalgic varnish, with many of its iron and putter designs continuing to attract admirers. Among the company’s driver offerings, the 2012 VRS — or VR_S, if you will — drew high marks for its shaping and toned-down appearance. The multi-thickness, NexCOR face was no joke either.

Check out our coverage from 2012 here.

Callaway RAZR Fit

Callaway’s first foray into moveable weight technology (married with its OptiFit hosel) did not disappoint. With a carbon fiber crown, aerodynamic attention to detail, and variable and hyperbolic face technologies, this club foreshadowed the tech-loaded, “story in every surface” Callaway drivers of the present, AI-informed design age.

Cleveland Classic 310

Truly a design that came out of left field. Cleveland said, “Give me a persimmon driver, but make it titanium…in 460cc.” Our 2012 reviewer, JokerUsn wrote, “I don’t need to elaborate on all the aesthetics of this club. You’ve seen tons of pics. You’ve all probably seen a bunch in the store and held them up close and gotten drool on them. From a playing perspective, the color is not distracting. It’s dark enough to stay unobtrusive in bright sunlight…Even my playing partners, who aren’t into clubs at all…commented on it saying it looks cool.” Long live!

Titleist 910

While there’s no disputing Titleist’s “Titleist Speed” era of drivers perform better than its 2010s offerings, sentimentality abounds, and there was something classically Titleist about these clubs, right down to the alignment aid, and the look is somewhere between 983 times and the present TS age. Representing a resurgence after a disappointing stretch of offerings (907, 909), The 910D2 was a fairly broadly appealing driver with its classic look at address and classic Titleist face shape.

Check out our coverage from 2012 here.

TaylorMade RocketBallz

The white crown. The name. You either loved ‘em or you hated ‘em. TaylorMade’s 2012 offering from its RocketBallz Period boasted speed-enhancing aerodynamics and an Inverted Cone Technology in the club’s titanium face. Technology aside, it’s impossible to overstate what a departure from the norm a white-headed driver was in the world of golf equipment.

Check out our coverage from 2012 here.

Ping i20

Long a quietly assertive player in the driver space, Ping’s i20 was more broadly appealing than the G20, despite being a lower-launch, lower-spin club. Ping drivers didn’t always have looks that golfer’s considered traditional or classic, but the i20 driver bucked that trend. Combining the classic look with Ping’s engineering created a driver that better players really gravitated toward. The i20 offered players lower launch and lower spin for more penetrating ball flight while the rear 20g tungsten weights kept the head stable. Sound and feel were great also, being one of the more muted driver sounds Ping had created up to that time.
