Adams 9015D and 9016D

[velandgolf]

Question for you adams experts. I have a swing speed around 105mpr and i am looking for the lowest launch,lowest spin head. Which head of the two should i get? 9015d or 9016d??

Just bought from a fellow wrx'r a Tech 9015d 9.5 with Diamana Whiteboard 63x. I should have it Thursday when I return from being away on business. Im really looking forward to hitting it at the range....as its still wet and cold here in the midwest. I will post my thoughts when I actually get some range time on the club.

I have the same set up except my Whiteboard is a 73. I had no luck controlling the A4 with the stock Matrix shaft but the Whiteboard really transformed it for me.

I picked up an A4 last week and just got back from a trip to Tampa and all I can say is WOW! I have the stock Ozik in it still and I'd like to play with it for a little longer before making any decisions on whether to tip it or pull it, but this combo has given me added distance that I wouldn't have believed if I hadn't seen it for myself. It increased my clubhead speed, increased my ballspeed and lowered my spin to almost textbook levels. Adams has produced a classic I believe.

I currently am using the Titleist 905r, 9.5deg, nv-65-R, 44.5" with a low to mid ball flight with good distance for my 95-98mph ss. Anything weaker than this and the ball tends to balloon. But I like this driver. All of the comments regarding the INSIGHT TECH a4 has me curious. lol

 

For those of you who have tried the INSIGHT TECH a4, which shaft would work for me with the 9.5deg. head.

 

Best guess

I think you should go with the 9015d because the 9016d was made for players with higher swing speeds.

I say try the stock matrix shaft. If you love the nv-65 then you should love the stock matrix shaft.

Can you tell me anywhere I can buy just a LH head for this? I'd like a 8.5, but I think it only comes in 9.5 for lefties.

Sellingers should have them. I guess they make a left handed version as well.

$219 for the 9016D in 6.5* and 7.5* only. But my swing speed (112-115) may not be enough for this head. This head is lighter than my 9* Rapture. I play it 45 3/4" D3 or so and get 16* or better of launch with a smash of 1.47 at worst. Any thoughts from the board? Thanks in advance

[Simp]

Well, considering that your LA is at 16* and you're playing a 9* driver, you might be ok with the 7.5* head. Before you do anything I would get your 9* driver measured to see if it is indeed 9*, just to be on the safe side, if you haven't already.

Does anyone have the 9015 with an X flex stock matrix? If so, does it play true to an x or is it softer?

This club does really work for my swing with the Whiteboard. I have a piece of lead tape around the shaft right above the hosel and it brought the swingweight up and its a really really long driver. I find that unless I really put a bad swing on the ball the extreme left side of the golf course is out of play for me which is what I was going after. It is pretty forgiving as well.

I went to golftec and hit this club carry 290-295 and was getting spin around 2500. I hit some pushes but mostly dead aim on the computer. Problem is that when I take it to the range or the course I have this really flat low shot or rope hook. I am using the matrix ozik 6-s in it but feel that the shaft is maybe a tad longer the my Ys in the HiBore I was crushing 3 weeks ago might be a better shaft. I am going back next week to see what I can do and ask if there might be another shaft option for me. Swing speed is inconsisstent but seems to average 105's to 110's. I am trying to fix my swing which might be the real issue but the Driver used to be my favorite go-to club when things were bad.

 

On a positive not, It looks awesome and does not look like one of those square Nikes or Callaways people seem to be using a lot. It seems like a tour club and has great sound when you hit it square.

Look back on some of the discussions about this driver. Many players, including myself, struggled with the stock shaft. Finding the right shaft for your swing makes all of the difference with this head and any driver for that matter.

9015D 10.5* or 9.5*, got them both.

 

One has Prototype Aldila 65-X "Cinnamon" shaft in it. The other has a Whiteboard 63x in it.

 

They are the 2 best drivers I've ever hit. I loved my old 975D, killed some golf balls back in the day with it.. (my uncle always told me to make sure my ball didn't have a flat side on it after I hit it)... anyway, this driver feels like my old 975D (Harrison 1.8 Pro) but with more forgiveness and a super hot face.

 

I've already hit the 2 longest drives of my golfing career with this driver and no matter who I play with, they always have to hit it because they can't believe the results I get with it. I'm no slouch off the tee-box (not a gorilla either), but this driver has really stepped it up a notch for me. I'm finding more fairways and am averaging 12 more yards per drive compared to my old set-up (Launcher 460 w/ Blueboard 63X).

 

If you haven't gotten to hit one yet, do yourself a favor and find one with a shaft that will work for you and give it a go. Launch Monitor numbers don't lie and this driver "IS" that much better than the competition in my opinion.

[bigkidneys]

Does anyone know if these launch low for their lofts? I have a 9.5* XTD pro and was under the impression these launched lower than those. Was thinking I may need a 10.5*

[longbutter]

My experience is that they launch true to loft. I had mine out side by side with my hibore xl tour today and they were very close. The 9015 may launch slightly higher but not enough to make me switch lofts.

[ghudson]

Well I have both in 8.5* with HOF Ultra shafts 255CPM in the 15 and 260CPM in the 16. And I must say the 16 is the one. I've played J33r460 in 8.5 with 757 at 258CPM and these two are quite a bit lower and the rollout is just incredible.

[hdaw02]

9015d but at 105mph you'll want to custom order it in a 70x as opposed to the 60s or 60x

[hdaw02]

I have a 70X i the matrix. It's available custom....don't think it's a tight x flex, feels like a SX flex.......had a YS 9.1 SX at one time...punches a little harder than a graffaloy nt comp is a stiff flex but it's softer than a Fit On E370 X flex

[stp]

I have a 8.5 9015d pm702x for sale in the bst. 200 shipped or 175 for the head.

[LongJohn6284]

i got a 9016 7.5 coming....is my 115 swingspeed going to be able to do big things with this club...i like the deeper face and lower spin and that is why i chose this one over the 9015...

[jkentjr1]

What seems to be the best shaft so far for a 9.5* 9015d for ss 100-105mph? Any suggestions?

[hdaw02]

It's really impossible to tell unless you're hitting in a shaft lab or have access to a launch monitor. If you load a shaft hard I'd say, just off the cuff, stock matrix 60x. If you don't load the shaft hard, stock matrix 60s. There are 7-8 or us that play at the same club and playing the same head, one of them is the former Adams rep, hence the reason everybody is in the new A4. Most of the guys are either 60x or 60s. If you're used to a log of a shaft (like a fit-on), go x-flex......the matrix in that version is not all that tight. If you're used to something pretty run of the mill (can you say NV) go S-flex.

 

If you can get to a simulator and hit the 60-s in a golf store and get some numbers it will be easier to call adams and get a recommendation. That's what I did and now I have a pair of them.

[hdaw02]

I hit 70x. The Adams rep live in St. Louis. Will be at Mid Rivers Golf Course Fri/Sat/Sun the weekend of 4/18. Suggest you head there and hit what Bryan has in the bag. The manager at Mid Rivers golf also plays 70x....might be worth a trip to St. Peters.

[PJDev]

I went to the demo day hdaw02 is talking about. I hit the R9, 09 Burner, FT9, New Cobra, Speedline, and the A4. The A4 was the longest by FAR! Of course each club had stock shafts, but I was amazed at the A4's pop. I have a session with John Kelly tomorrow to get fitted for a new driver. I'll probably be going with the A4 head.

[landshark]

anyone know where you can get just a 9015 head cheap? looking for a 9.5

[Duck Soup]

I bought an 8.5 from Sellingerspowergolf.com for $199 delivered about 6 months ago.

[armydiver]

I cant say enough good things about this driver. I am not even tempted at this point to worry about shafts. I have a 105 avg swing speed & this club with the stock stuff Ozik is money for me. At least a 10 yd difference on the next best driver I tested (D3 with Voodoo) 15 yds better than the rest (and my old gamer.) For my high spin swing this club is on time! Highly recommended for people who fight high spin off of the driver.

[bioman]

Why do I not see this club on the Adams website?
