Tour Driver

The Speedline 9032LS was Adams Golf's answer to a question most driver makers weren't asking in 2009: what if the head shape itself made you faster? While everyone else chased hotter faces, Adams put its Speedline drivers through aerodynamic testing and shaped the crown and skirt to cut drag through the swing. The pitch was simple. Less drag, more clubhead speed, more ball speed, without you changing anything.

The LS in the name means low spin, and that tells you who Adams built this for. This is the Tour version of the Speedline family, a 460cc head tuned for players who generate plenty of speed and lose distance to ballooning drives, not to slow swings. It launches lower and spins less than the standard Speedline, which is exactly what a stronger player wants and exactly what a slower one doesn't.

The club got a famous moment almost immediately. Tom Watson had a Speedline driver in the bag at Turnberry in July 2009, where he came within one par putt of winning the Open Championship at age 59. Not a bad debut season for a driver from a company better known for its hybrids.

• Faster swingers, roughly 100 mph and up, who hit the standard Speedline or similar drivers too high with too much spin.
• Players who want a clean, traditional look at address with no adjustability to fiddle with.
• Bargain hunters comfortable buying used, since the 9032LS shows up cheap on the secondhand market and still performs for the right swing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does LS mean on the Adams Speedline 9032LS?

LS stands for low spin. Compared to the standard Speedline 9032, the LS version has weighting positioned closer to the face, which lowers launch and reduces backspin. It's the Tour model in the lineup, aimed at faster swingers who don't need help getting the ball in the air.

Is the Speedline 9032LS forgiving?

Moderately, but forgiveness isn't its job. The 460cc head gives you a full-size footprint and reasonable stability on mishits, but the low spin design punishes slower swings and low face strikes with drives that fall out of the sky. If you need maximum forgiveness, the standard Speedline is the better pick from this era.

Did Tom Watson really use the Speedline at the 2009 Open?

Yes. Watson, an Adams staff player, drove the ball with a Speedline at Turnberry in 2009 and led the Open Championship into the 72nd hole before losing in a playoff to Stewart Cink. Adams leaned on that story heavily in its marketing, and fair enough.

Is the Adams Speedline 9032LS adjustable?

No. The hosel is fixed, so there are no loft or lie settings and no movable weights. Whatever loft you buy is what you play, which means it's worth being honest about your launch conditions before picking one up.

Is the Speedline 9032LS still worth buying used?

For the right player, yes. Titanium driver faces from 2009 were already at the legal spring limit, so the raw ball speed holds up better than you'd expect. You give up adjustability and some forgiveness versus modern drivers, but if you swing fast, fight spin, and find one in good shape for pocket change, it can still do the job.
