What does the Adams XTD driver sound like?
The theme of this review seems to be that the Adams XTD driver is hot . At impact, the XTD driver gives you a very explosive sound like a rocket.

The Adams XTD driver has one of the hottest faces out there. Departure from the white paint. Beast of a club.
Introduction
Year in and year out, Adams Golf always manages to pique my interest with the new clubs they bring to market. After having success with previous generations of XTD clubs, Adams introduced a new line of matte black woods which include one of the hottest drivers on the market and we were more than happy to take the XTD driver for a spin.
Looks
Adams went through a stretch of silver club heads which were followed by white versions which was all the rage of 2011-2013. 2013 and 2014 saw the return of black club heads and the XTD driver, as well as the rest of woods, sports a really slick matte black crown with no markings except for the Cut-Thru Slot.
Sound & Feel
The theme of this review seems to be that the Adams XTD driver is hot . At impact, the XTD driver gives you a very explosive sound like a rocket. That’s not to say that it’s an obnoxiously loud sound (it’s not), but the ball really sounds like it fires hard off the face . I would describe the tone as “a solid whack with a little pop .”
Performance
Hitting the new Adams XTD driver felt like a rebirth of sorts for Adams. I wouldn’t tell you that Adams necessarily needed a club that was a departure from their previous offerings, but this was a very refreshing driver to hit. First, the club is flat out hot which leads to great ball speeds and solid distance.
Conclusion
2014 is a great time in golf history to buy golf equipment. Obviously there are a lot of choices to make when you’re trying to select the perfect club, but companies like Adams Golf stick to basic principles that put a focus on engineering and R&D to gain results rather than gimmicks.

What is the hot adjustment of 2015?
This is the hot adjustment of 2015 – Cobra’s FlipZone and Nike’s FlexFlight are both good examples of it. According to the manufacturers, when the weight moves back, the driver becomes higher launching and lower spinning, and with the weight forward, the ball flight is lower with more spin.
How many degrees is a 10 degree driver?
If it’s a 10 degree driver, it will always be 10 degrees, no matter how you twist it. By twisting it (changing the face angle), however, you are taking what was a 10 degree driver with a square face and making it a 10 degree driver that is, for example, 2 degrees closed. Now, to get that face square at impact, you need to open ...
