The Super S refined the Velocity Slot Technology Adams debuted on the F11 into a fairway wood built specifically for launch and ease: a matte white crown to increase apparent size at address and reduce glare, paired with a contrasting PVD-coated face to sharpen alignment. Adams pitched it as long, high-launching, and easy to hit off a variety of lies — a straightforward continuation of the Adams playbook of forgiving, confidence-building fairway wood shapes going back to the original Tight Lies. It launched alongside the more premium multi-material Super LS/XTD as one of two 2012-2013 Speedline fairway offerings, giving Adams a two-tier lineup: Super S for pure forgiveness and ease, Super LS/XTD for extra ball speed via titanium construction.
Reviewers found it accurate and easy to hit and Adams marketed it at an accessible $199, but nothing in the coverage points to lasting demand or forum mythology — it is a clean, competent mid-market fairway wood remembered mainly by reviewers who tested Adams' 2012-2013 lineup as a whole.
A good match for mid-to-high handicappers who want a forgiving, easy-launching fairway wood at a moderate price point and don't need titanium-level ball speed. Better players wanting more compact shaping or additional workability should consider the companion Super LS/XTD or a modern players'-fairway instead.
Sat as the more accessible half of Adams' 2012-2013 Speedline fairway pairing (alongside the pricier titanium Super XTD), competing against mid-tier fairway woods from Callaway, TaylorMade, and Titleist in the same window; succeeded by newer Speedline generations after TaylorMade's 2012 acquisition of Adams.
The Velocity Slot crown/sole channel flexes at impact to expand the effective sweet spot, and the matte white crown was specifically designed to make the head look larger and more confidence-inspiring at address; reviewers described it as easy to hit off a variety of lies, consistent with a forgiveness-first design brief.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Complete clubs typically sell for roughly $40-$90 on the private-party used market (eBay, 2nd Swing) in 2026, in line with other early-2010s mid-tier Adams fairway woods with no collector premium.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
