“The tour-grade Super LS hybrid at $299 trims spin for stronger, faster players. A low-spin-players rung rescue with penetrating flight and shot-shaping control.”
Adams' 2013 Super LS hybrid paired a titanium crown and face with a stainless-steel sole and a redesigned Variable Slot Technology (VST) groove, chasing a Characteristic Time near the USGA's legal ceiling (Adams cited roughly 250) for a genuinely hot face. It shipped 0.5 inches longer and, in the 15- and 17-degree heads, half a degree more upright than its Super S sibling -- small changes aimed at squeezing extra ball speed and a lower, more penetrating flight out of the same slot platform. Reviewers across multiple outlets singled out the acoustics: a solid, high-pitched crack at impact that read as more premium than the price suggested.
Genuinely well covered in its year -- The Sand Trap, GolfWRX's editor review, Golfmagic, and Plugged In Golf all reviewed it independently and positively -- but that is period trade-press attention, not lasting demand; nobody is hunting these down in 2026.
Faster-swinging, better ball-strikers wanting a long-iron replacement with shot-shaping ability rather than maximum forgiveness. A higher-handicap player chasing pure ease-of-hit should look at the Super S hybrid instead.
2013, competing with TaylorMade's SLDR and RocketBallz hybrids and Titleist's 913H in the same 'tour-grade rescue' niche, released the year after TaylorMade finalized its purchase of Adams.
Reviewers explicitly noted the titanium LS hybrid is longer but less forgiving than the Super S hybrid sold alongside it (see that entry) -- it trades some off-center-strike tolerance for lower spin and a more workable, knockdown-capable flight aimed at better players replacing long irons.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Single hybrids typically sell for $20-45 in 2026 depending on loft and shaft condition; it is not sold in 'sets' the way irons are, so pricing is per-club.
