“A more players-oriented adjustable Adams driver. Standard forgiveness with a tunable hosel; fit to your speed and strike.”

Adams' 2013 flagship driver: a 460cc titanium head built around the Cut-Thru Velocity Slot -- twin channels cut through crown and sole near the face designed to keep it flexing on off-center hits, engineered aggressively enough that Adams said every head was CT-tested four times during manufacturing to stay within the R&A's spring-like-effect limit. It combined an adjustable hosel (roughly +/-1.5 degrees of loft), stock Matrix 6Q3 'Red Tie' graphite and an Iomic grip, launching at $399-400 as Adams' answer to Callaway's RAZR Fit and TaylorMade's (by then, its own parent company's) SLDR. Reviewers found it long and forgiving but not distinctive in an unusually crowded 2013 driver field.

Solidly reviewed on release (GolfWRX, Today's Golfer, Plugged In Golf, Swing Man Golf all covered it as a capable, forgiving driver) but with no lawsuit, tour-win legend, or scarcity story -- it was one entry in the annual driver refresh cycle, superseded within the usual product window, and today is an inexpensive, easy-to-find used driver rather than something sought out.

Mid-handicap players wanting forgiveness and easy loft adjustability at a mid-range price point. A low-handicap player chasing current ball speeds and forgiveness would be far better served by a modern driver.

• 460cc titanium head with a hosel adjustable for roughly 1.5 degrees of loft; period reviews cite 9, 10.5 and 12-degree lofts (12 right-hand only per some retailers), a modest discrepancy against the 9.5/10.5 spec listed here.
• Twin 'Cut-Thru Velocity Slots' on crown and sole plus progressive face thickness, tuned aggressively enough that Adams said each head was CT-tested four times in production to stay within the R&A's spring-like-effect limit.
• Stock shaft was the Matrix 6Q3 'Red Tie,' a mid-launch graphite built specifically for Adams.
• Launched at $399-400 retail -- a mid-tier price point below the 2013 flagship drivers from Callaway, TaylorMade and Titleist.
• 45-inch stock shaft length.

Released in 2013, a year after TaylorMade-adidas completed its acquisition of Adams Golf, competing against Callaway's RAZR Fit Xtreme, TaylorMade's own SLDR, and Ping's Anser/G25 drivers. One of the last driver platforms developed under Adams' original engineering team before the brand's independent lineage was wound down later in the decade.

Cheap and plentiful in 2026 -- typically $40-$80 privately (eBay/SidelineSwap/clearance channels), reflecting a 13-year-old driver from a since-absorbed independent brand with no collector interest.
