Has anyone hit the Adams XTD Ti Driver?

27x10.5 · November 30, 2013

I just picked up a couple XTD LS 19* and 22* hybrids...I hit them so well that the new driver got my attention. I'm hitting the 22* LS hybrid longer than my 21* Nike VR Pro hybrid it replaced. I hit the 19* LS hybrid that replaced my 19* VR Pro 5 wood to a place on our 18th hole that I usually reach with a decent hit with my driver. Whatever they are doing with these, if it carries over to the driver I'm very interested. They don't have them at the local store here but I see them all over the internet with no real reviews.

Still wondering about this

We just got ours in stock hope to hit the driver tomorrow

I bought the driver but am getting worse dispersion than my Adams Fast 12 LS. The head seems hotter, though. I believe the Red Tie shaft is to blame. I think if I were to put my Fubuki Alpha in there it would rock. Though to be honest I'm hitting my Fast 12 LS so well that I'm not going to bother trying to switch shafts. I'll probably put the XTD Ti on the bay next week. PM me if you want to snatch this up beforehand.

Adams woods also perked my interest in their drivers. I did try the xtd ti and really liked it, but not enough to replce my fast 12ls.

I actually love the new XTD ti driver... I think the real Red Ties in them run a bit stiff. After hitting a number of balls with the stiff my dispersion was horrible and the shaft felt a bit harder than I care for... switched to the regular flex and it was like magic, better feel and my dispersion was as tight as I could possibly hope for...needless to say it's in the bag now.

Went to an Adams demo day and tried the xtd driver side by side with my 12ls. The xtd sets up great and the black head/face look sweet. The 9.5 head was set slightly open as I prefer. The feel was hot and sound slightly louder than my 12ls. Distance was good, but the shaft wasn't a good fit for me. My ls has an ADDI 6s and works much better for me. Wanted to swap the AD into the xtd, but found it uses the TM adapter so it was not going to happen. May have to get an xtd head to experiment with, really like the open face at address.

Forgot to add another tidbit, definitely try the xtd fairway wood, it's hot. The 13.5 degree strong 3-wood off the tee was almost as long as the driver and the shaft felt better. The new adams forged irons are worth a serious look, easy to hit and felt good.

I was thinking of dropping my 3 wood for another LS Hybrid and grabbing one in a 15*. I don't know how confident I'd feel over a 13.5 fairway, I have enough issues off the deck with a 15* 3 wood fairway now. I was thinking the 15* hybrid would be easier, the 19* I can basically hit with my eyes closed off the deck and they are just high bombs where with my 19* 5 wood I felt like I was getting the same result like 1 out of 5. I know its mostly mental, but the club just performs for me.

I've had mine for about three weeks now, and I'm pretty pleased with it so far. I had been playing the Adams F12 LS for two years now, and the XTD gave me SLIGHTLY better numbers. I put my extra Fubuki in it though, I wasn't a fan of the Red Tie.
