Press Release: Adams Golf Introduces the New Speedline Tech Driver
Things Just Got Personal With FASTfit Adjustability
PLANO, TEXAS, July 25, 2012 – Adams Golf announces the release of its new Speedline Tech driver, loaded with technology and innovation, including improved aerodynamic shaping, easy-to-use FASTfit adjustability, 3DS Face Technology and lightweight, multi-material construction. Golfers can dial in the Speedline Tech for optimum performance specific to them that can deliver up to 11 more yards of distance and 54% better accuracy.
“We used advanced construction methods and made refinements to driver technologies that we’ve developed over time to make this our most customizable and best performing driver for golfers of all skill levels,” said Tim Reed, vice president of research and development. “It’s easy for the golfer to make adjustments and find their perfect ball flight while achieving even higher swing speeds and more distance through our aerodynamic shaping.”
6G Aerodynamic Technology
Adams Golf led the revolution of aerodynamic shaping with the original Speedline driver helping golfers swing the club faster and gain more distance. The Speedline Tech takes that shaping to the sixth generation featuring improved slopes, curves and size to help the club cut through the air faster for even more clubhead speed and distance.
FASTfit Adjustability
FASTfit Adjustability is Adams’ answer for quick and easy club customization. The Speedline Tech driver can quickly be tuned by unscrewing the hosel and rotating the head to fit the golfer’s swing type and preferred ball flight. FASTfit allows the club to be set open or closed by up to 1 degree, and thereby adjusting the loft +/- 1 degree as well. The clubhead can also be adjusted 2 degrees upright.
3DS Face Technology
The revolutionary 3DS Face Technology is a change in the traditional bulge and roll of driver faces. Through extensive research, Adams Golf’s R&D department found that a majority of golfers impact the clubface in the high toe area diagonally down through the center and into the low heel area of the clubface. 3DS Face Technology provides optimal spin and launch in all three hitting zones of the clubface producing up to 54% more accurate and longer drives.
Multi-Material Construction
Using lightweight and multi-material construction, the Speedline Tech driver is the best performing, easiest-to-swing driver in the game. Featuring a unique carbon-fiber wing attached to a titanium chassis allows for this large, confidence-inspiring clubhead to maintain superior aerodynamic performance, optimal sound and ideal launch conditions.
Models, Pricing and Availability
The Speedline Tech driver will be available online and in stores on August 1st. It will feature the Matrix Ozik RUL 54 as its stock shaft offering. The suggested retail price (MSRP) for the Speedline Tech driver is $449.99.
Available lofts are as follows:
8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5° and 12.5° in right hand
9.5° and 10.5° in left hand

Equipment
Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
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.

It’s got that nice deep face that I personally like but it just depends on the size of the overall head.
So many drivers to choose from now you really need to go to a golf shop and try them all before you decide.
