I loved the performance and feel of this club but i only had it for almost a year and one day on the 13th hole my grandfather wanted to hit it and when he did the clubhead exploded and the top blew off! I was very disappointed b/c now I had no driver to finish my game and also I paid a pretty good penny for that driver! But I will say that the driver was honestly the best one I had owned up until that point now I have a Orlimar driver and I love it just as much but still miss my Adams Redline a lot!

Have not heard back from them yet but i feel they will do right by their product and make things right!

This is the worst driver I have ever played. I just bought the club new and decided to take it to the driving range. I had hit about 8 balls and was overall pretty impressed with the feel of the club. The next ball I hit the club face exploded and the top of the head blew to pieces.

I love this club. This is the first "real" driver I have owned. I have been golfing for about 17 years but only a few times a year and with a no name set. the last few years I have been getting out a lot more and really felt the need for better quality. My wife got me this driver for father's day after some obvious hints. I set it up for a "super draw"(heavy weights in the heel.) and after a trip to the range and some work on my swing and grip my slice was fixed. I was consistently hitting 280 yard drives right down the middle with the occasional 300 yarder.

A few weeks ago I went out with a friend and 2 of his friends for the first time this year. On the first hole a 478 yd par 5 I drove it about 325 yds. (to the 150 yd markers) the only negative was that the others all called me king kong the rest of the round.

For $80 US this is an exceptional value. I can't imagine that a Ping or Taylormade that costs over twice what I paid could give me any more distance or accuracy.

Gotta love this highly unknown driver. The smaller head has a great confidence inducing look. The face is easy to alighn and very deep. I tee it high and never pop it up.

I tend to hit off the toe, which causes a hook for me, but putting extra weight in the toe really tames that.

I have the Aldila NVS regular shaft and my 85 mph swing speed gives me 250+ yards. Even with 10.5 loft I still tend to hit low and get great roll.

They are getting harder to find. I was thinking of getting one from Ebay as a spare.

I bought the club used, without weight instructions, and they were quick to email me a copy.

This is a follow up to my review of the 430Q in December 2006. It took me over a year to finally find another 430Q and was able swap my 460D for it.
The 460D was the replacement Adams sent me after I cracked the head on my first 430Q. Didn't care for the 460D and only played with it twice.

Just got this 430Q Saturday, played it Sunday - after only hitting 5 or 6 range balls.
First tee box - straight down the middle 300+. Used it on 5 more holes - hit 4 fairways and entirely over the last one. Shortest drive 282 yards. May have gained a few yards due to the hard fast conditions of the dormant Zoysia fairways, but I played the same course 2 weeks ago with my "other" driver and this driver is flat out longer!

Everything I remember about my first 430Q, rings true with this one.

Control - Fairway hitting machine. Consistently in the fairway with VERY respectable distance.
Distance - Actually, VERY long.
6 drives - 309, 307, 288, 289, 282(slowed by a patch of rough) & an oops unmeasurable (over corner of dogleg fairway clearing the bunker on the fly).

Forgiving was the mantra in my first review, but this time CONTROL comes more to mind. I easily altered trajectory with this club at set up with tee height. I didn't encounter any shots where I needed to shape left or right, so sideways workability is still a question. Actually, long and straight works for me.

Overall it's a great driver that was a sleeper in the market. It's been discontinued for over a year and it seems that very few were sold. They are hard to find.

I know that we often read about the 300+ yard drives on these review websites, but now I'm a little less inclined to doubt them. I've hit a handful of 300+ drives in the past but 2(or3) out of 6 swings on 1 day in 50* weather. No downhill holes, no aid from wind.

Maybe it is possible...we shall see!

I know Adams only has Bubba Dickerson and Bernhard Langer selling for them on the Regular Tour. But you have to admit Adams Golf rules the Champions Tour.

I've been a golfer since the early 70's and I'm one of those who is annoyed by the snake-oil of Callaway Golf brands.

This club is the first to blend both composite material structure with adjustable weight technology . . . yes, the first!

It is good-looking, with very traditional lines. The square face alignment will help better players fight the hooks, unlike so many clubs on the market with the closed faces that help hackers.

I got this driver with stock Aldila NVS Regular shaft for less than a green fee. Since then, I have found the way to hit fairways, swing smooth (85-100 mph), and gain 20-30 yards (260-290!) by using this driver.

I had to find a solution because I won my club's "B" flight last year, and moved up to "A" flight. Now I have to play from the tips. This driver has helped me keep my swing, but gain yardage and accuracy. Hooray!!

I won my County Amateur Tourney and Club Championship with a Titleist 983E. All other drivers Nike, Cleveland, TM had closed faces and cause duck-hooks.

I thought I had the perfect driver with my Titleist 905R with the Proforce V2 shaft.
That is, until I picked up the 430Q for a ridiculously low price.
It came with the ProLaunch Blue stiff shaft. I set the weights to neutral and high launch and this driver has become an absolute machine. Easily 10 yards longer than the Titleist and much, much more accurate. I don't know whether it is the shaft, the head, or the combination of both, but this driver absolutely inspires confidence.
As another reviewer mentioned, this is one of the few drivers available with an absolutely square face--it is so easy to line up and swing freely.
If you can still find one, do yourself a favour and snag it!

It is 9.5 with the aldila nvs in s flex,I have been wanting to try this shaft for a long while & I was not disapointed, it is long & straight & the trajectory is perfect.
The club sets up well behind the ball & looks great,sounds good,very happy.

I really enjoy hitting this club. I don't know if it's because of the smaller head (430cc), but I hit the sweet spot with this club more often than any other. The club is a little heavy (I think D4 swingweight), which for me is great. I have a 95mph swing, and hitting this club about 240 to 250. This club goes about 20 yards further than my old R5 N. And, it has a square face angle, so my slight draw isn't a duck hook (unlike the "neutral" R5, which actually has a 2.5degree closed face, as do many of the newer clubs, arrgh!)
