Golf Gear Newswire : Speedline Fast 10 Drivers Launch Next Generation of Aerodynamics

PLANO, Texas -- The new Speedline FAST 10 drivers and Speedline FAST 10 fairway woods represent Adams Golf's third generation of advanced aerodynamic design. The drivers are designed to increase clubhead speed, resulting in up to 15 more yards in carry distance, company officials said, while the fairway woods feature customizable precision milled sole plates for greater distance out of a variety of lies.

As with the entire Speedline brand, the patent-pending aerodynamic shaping of the third-generation FAST 10 driver refines the technology to create 10 percent less drag and airflow turbulence than previous models.

Design improvements include a 100 percent increase in toe curvature and a 300 percent decrease in the heel curvature for even more efficient and stable airflow attachment around the clubhead. The new features reduce drag throughout the swing for a faster clubhead speed that generates more distance than previous models, company officials said, all with 10 percent higher MOI (Moment of Inertia).

"The success of the Speedline series clearly shows that the benefits of a driver head with aerodynamic shaping which delivers increased distance has resonated with golfers of all playing abilities," said Adams Golf President and CEO Chip Brewer. "Now, with the launch of Speedline FAST 10 as the third generation of this technology, we have furthered our lead in this exciting new category of drivers."

The Speedline FAST 10 fairway woods, which are now being used by Tom Watson and Aaron Baddeley, were developed to appeal to players of all levels. They feature strategically placed weight pads to match the swing characteristics of different golfers: the standard model weight pad is positioned back for a higher launch, while the draw model weight pad is positioned in the heel. The fairway woods also have a 57 percent increase in the sole camber for more consistent ball striking and enhanced playability from all types of lies.

"We've consistently seen tour pros switching to our fairway woods because of their increased playability," said Vice President of Research and Development Tim Reed. "There was no disputing the consistent ball striking and increased distance they saw when they put it into play."

The men's drivers come in lofts of 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 12.5 degrees in right-handed models and 9.5 and 10.5 degrees in left-handed models. The Draw Driver comes in lofts of 9.5 and 10.5 degrees in right-handed models, while the women's driver comes in a 12.5-degree loft in right-handed only.

The fairway woods come in 3+wood, 3-wood and 5-wood in right-handed and left-handed models, while the Draw model comes in 3-wood and 5-wood in right-handed only. The women's fairway woods come in 3-wood, 5-wood and 7-wood in right-handed only.

Both of the men's versions of the driver and the fairway wood offer a choice of high-performance shafts: the mid-high launch Aldila Wasabi or the mid-low launch Matrix HD. The women's versions come standard with lightweight Graffaloy graphite shafts. The suggested retail price for the Speedline FAST 10 drivers is $399.99 per club, while the suggested retail price for the fairway woods is $299.99 per club.
