At MyGolfSpy, we see and test a ridiculous amount of golf gear. It’s easy for things to get lost in the shuffle—hell, most of them do. We try damn near everything, but remember… really remember… almost nothing. But every once in a while, a club sticks. Not necessarily a Most Wanted winner. Maybe not even a top performer. Just a club that, despite the churn-and-burn life of a gear junkie, stays in the workbench drawer because you never know.
Even as technology has advanced—sometimes by more than a decade—these are the ones I’ve kept around (four of the five, anyway). And deep down, despite knowing better, a little part of me still believes that maybe, just maybe, I’ll put one of them back in the bag some day.
Before we get started …
This is my list. If you asked anyone else at MyGolfSpy (and maybe we should), their list of the most iconic drivers of the MyGolfSpy Era would probably look different. Frankly, my brain short-circuits at the thought of what my colleague John Barba might include (something absurd, no doubt).
With that out of the way, let’s get to it.
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 15 years since we tested the Adams 9064 LS and, honestly, it’s probably the first driver I ever truly fell for at MyGolfSpy. If I wanted to make a case for it being ahead of its time as a low-spin, aerodynamic design, I absolutely could. Whether that’s true or just me being nostalgic, I don’t really care.
