Adams Insight XTD A3 Boxster

As you may have guessed, I like test driving new putters and drivers. Well, this weeks review is no different.

Square shaped drivers have been out for some time now, and now Adams has jumped on that band wagon with their Insight XTD series. The driver I tested was a 9.5* stiff flex, Aldila DVS 55 gram shafted driver.

At first looks, one can easily see the square head shape. What one doesn't see is the pear shaped face profile. I personally thought that was one neatly hidden feature.

This driver setups very square and is very easy to hit straight. The overall look of the square head is easily overlooked at setup due to some design additions on the trailing edge of the club. I forgot I was swinging a square driver!!!

This driver was long but the low center of gravity coupled with the lower kick point shaft sent my tee shots sky high. This high tee shot is most certainly undesirable out here with the nasty trade winds that we get.

Other than that, this driver was accurate and was fun to hit.
