Tour ドライバー

The Speedline Super LS was Adams Golf's answer to a question better players kept asking in 2013: where's the low-spin driver? Adams had built its reputation on forgiveness and easy launch, mostly for the shallow-faced fairway wood crowd. This one went the other direction. The LS stands for low spin, and the whole 460cc head is built around keeping your ball flight flat and penetrating instead of ballooning into the wind.

It arrived at an odd moment for the brand. TaylorMade had bought Adams the year before, and the Speedline line was living on borrowed time. That makes the Super LS something of a last real swing from Adams as an independent design shop, and it's a good one. The slot technology Adams pioneered in its hybrids and fairway woods shows up here to keep ball speed up on shots hit low on the face, which is exactly where stronger players tend to miss.

One thing to know going in: there's no adjustability. No sliding weights, no hosel sleeve. You pick a loft, you build it with the right shaft, and you play it. In 2013 that was already becoming unusual for a tour-level driver, and today it means fitting matters more than it would with a modern adjustable head.

• Faster swingers who spin the ball too much and watch drives climb, stall, and drop with nothing left.
• Players who want a low-spin head but feel uncomfortable standing over the smaller 440cc tour drivers of this era.
• Anyone hunting a used tour driver on a budget, since Adams gear from the TaylorMade transition years sells well below what the performance justifies.

よくある質問

Is the Adams Speedline Super LS adjustable?

No. There's no adjustable hosel and no movable weights. The loft you buy is the loft you play, so check the stamped loft carefully when shopping used and consider getting measured for swing speed before picking one up. If you need to tweak launch, your options are shaft changes or a different loft, not a wrench.

How low spin is the Super LS really?

Genuinely low for its time. The forward weighting typically cut 300 to 500 rpm compared to Adams' standard Speedline heads. If your driver spin sits above 3,000 rpm with a mid-launch, you'll likely see a flatter, more penetrating flight. Players who already spin it under 2,300 rpm should be careful, because this head can turn low spin into unplayable knuckleballs.

What swing speed do I need for the Super LS?

There's no hard cutoff, but it rewards speed. Around 100 mph and up, the low-spin design starts paying off in distance. Below that, most golfers need more spin and launch to keep the ball in the air, and this head takes both away. Slower swingers were better served by the standard Super S from the same year.

Is a driver from 2013 still worth playing?

For the price, yes. Driver faces were already at the legal speed limit by 2013, so a flush hit with the Super LS gives up little to a new head. What you lose is forgiveness on mishits and the ability to fine-tune with adjustability. If you strike it consistently, the gap is smaller than the ten-year price difference suggests.

What happened to Adams Golf after this driver?

TaylorMade acquired Adams in 2012, and the brand was wound down over the next few years. The Super LS was among the last drivers Adams released before the slot technology it pioneered got absorbed into TaylorMade's own lineup. That's part of why these heads are cheap used, there was no successor line to keep the brand's prices up.
