The Speedline Super S Hybrid (2012, RRP €149) was Adams' super-game-improvement hybrid, built on further-refined Velocity Slot Technology (VST): a Cut-Thru sole slot for higher ball speed and a thinner, deeper, longer crown slot for a new level of face flex. Its stainless-steel head measured a 230-microsecond Characteristic Time — near the legal COR limit — and paired a white crown with a black face specifically to make squaring the club at address easier. It arrived from Adams as the culmination of years of hybrid development with tour players, positioned as the forgiving, high-launch counterpart to the lower-spin Speedline Super LS in the same family, shortly before Adams' 2012 acquisition by TaylorMade folded the brand into TaylorMade's portfolio.
Well-reviewed in its day (Golfmagic, Today's Golfer, GolfWRX editor coverage all rated it favorably for distance and forgiveness) but with no lasting collector or forum-driven following; it reads today as a genuinely solid, forgotten super-game-improvement hybrid from Adams' final generation before absorption into TaylorMade.
High-handicap and slower-swing-speed golfers wanting maximum forgiveness and distance from a hybrid; better players wanting workability or lower spin should look to the companion Super LS model instead.
Part of Adams' 2012 Speedline 'Super' family (Super S for forgiveness/high launch, Super LS for lower spin/better players), released the same year TaylorMade acquired Adams Golf; competed with Callaway's RAZR Fit and TaylorMade's own RocketHybrid of that period. A modern equivalent for the same buyer is a current max-forgiveness hybrid like a Callaway Big Bertha or TaylorMade Qi hybrid.
Marketed and reviewed as 'extremely hot and incredibly easy to hit,' with testers noting minimal distance/direction loss on off-center hits thanks to the Cut-Thru sole slot and refined crown slot design — a genuinely forgiveness-first build even by super-game-improvement standards.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Used Speedline Super S hybrids sell cheaply today via 2nd Swing and eBay (typically well under $75 for played condition against an original retail near $150–$200), consistent with a 13-year-old mid-market hybrid from a defunct standalone brand with no collector demand.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
