Driver Adams XTD Loft 9.0 flex: S (65g.)

Pros: The XTD is hot. Volcanic. Radioactive, one might say. Even mishits seem to careen off the face and down the fairway, straighter than most. The adjustability of the club is about all you need—a degree and a half in either direction, with base lofts of nine, 10.5 and 12 degrees available.

Cons: While the technological reason for Adams’ Cut-Thru Slo feature is sensible, it is a bit odd looking down at a long rectangular sloping channel cut into the crown of the driver.

Bottom Line: If you hit a lot of drives in the center of the clubface, this driver is for you. If you hit some out on the toe, this driver is for you. If you hit a lot of drives, as Johnny Miller would say, “a groove low,” this driver is for you. The XTD is long, forgiving and adjustable enough to fit the caprice of your own swing.
