Adams Blue driver hits USGA conforming list
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.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

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.
