Adams RPM 430Q

any thoughts

Just wondering if anyone has hit this driver and what were your results. I might have the opportunity to pick up a 9.5 with a prolaunch 65 stiff brand new at an extremely good price. If the current owner decides to get rid of it I think I am going to buy it. Just looking for some input from anyone's experiences. I was thinking about getting it for a backup and to use in windier conditions since it is a lower loft than my current 10.5 G5, also with prolaunch 65 (I am having very good results with this shaft right now). Anyways, who has hit the 430Q and what did you think? Thanks in advance for your responses.

I hit it at a demo day back in the spring and I liked it better than the R7 and it was a tie with the J33. Low launching head from what I remember. It is a solid stick that does not get enough hype due to the fact it says adams. I have been debating picking one up or the J33.

Hi, I have a 9.5* 430Q which I have had in play for 2 rounds and a few practice sessions. I have an aversion to stock shafts so before I hit it I installed a Vista Pro 80. This replaced my FT-3 so I had a fair bit pinned in this driver.

I have to say that it is as good as any driver I have used, and here is my recent list..... Ft-3 Neutral, R5 TP, R7 Shallow, R7, R7 TP, 510TP, Tour Edge Bazooka.

It is straight, it is long, I can draw it, I have faded it... Most importantly (for me) I have no desire to change it :fool: my only issue with it.... it is damn loud....

I think its the longest driver out. I could care less about the adjustable weights, but the overall feel of the club is amazing. I have the 9.5 prolaunch 65 stiff. You can really tell the ball jumps off the face. I have noticed about a 20 yrd difference between my old Mizuno 400cc with the stock NV. I loved that driver as well. I think i am partial to the composite drivers because of the feel and feedback you get from it. I happed to get my 430 from our local reps demos that he was getting rid of for a $100 and its in perfect shape. I actually took it home and let some other guys hit the club and they wanted one as well. Hopefully people will get over what name is on the club, because people are paying $400 for an R7 and this club will kill it any day of the week.
