Now Playing: Adams Insight XTD PRO
Think square drivers were just a fad? Think again. Not only are they alive and well, but now they’re engineered for better players. Adams’ Insight XTD Pro ($349) features “Boxer Technology” that, like other square big sticks, moves weight away from the clubface for a higher MOI. But the XTD Pro is built for players with high swing speeds. It comes with a deeper, hotter face (that’s open two degrees at address so better players can avoid hooks) and a Graphite Design Tour AD YSQ 65 gram graphite shaft. Plus, it helps low handicappers achieve the desired high-launch/low-spin ballfight that results in more penetrating shots. Comes in 8.5°, 9.5° (left hand, too) and 10.5° lofts.
