Purchase: I bought the Redline driver at Golf Galaxy for $139. It was marked down 20% for a members sale. It was a real bargain because it has the Adila NV stiff shaft. I bought this becuase it was withing my budget and I wanted to try a larger headed driver.
Pros: I've read many reviews on this club and disagree with most. I draw this club about 90% of the time. I have no trouble hooking this club at all. The trajectory is lower than I thought and am glad I bought a 10.5 loft vs the 8.5 or 9.0*. I changed from the Taylor Made 320 tour and saw immediate positive results from this club. I hit more fairways in the first two round with this club than I had hit all year. Best part of this club is the toe is a sweet spot. Off center hits on the toe fly like crazy. My mishits are toe shots so its perfect for my game.
Cons: I didn't like the sound of the club at first. Makes a really odd metalic sound. It was a little embarassing at first. I also haven't picked up much extra distance. I hit it about 240 on the fly and on a good day get a 250 drive. I thought it would add some distance, but its similiar to my old Taylor Made in distance only.
Quality: Construction is fine. No problems so far. I did get a chip in the finish when I dropped the club. I was a little suprised it chipped so easily. Review Summary: Solid club and priced right. I've hit many of the new drivers and this is comparable to everything else I've tried. Only the new Callaway driver flew further. Its the shaft that counts. The Adila NV shaft is a jewel.

Purchase: Purchased from Utah Golf.
Several golfing friends at my club were hitting the Redline Driver and I was very impressed with their distance and accuracy.
Paid $175.
Pros: I am lefthanded and it is very difficult to demo various drivers unless you are lucky enough to find one at a demo day.
Used a LH friends Redline driver and was in love immediately. I have the ProForce65 in regular flex - the distance and control are better than any driver I have ever tried.
Cons: There is absolutely nothing that I dslike about the Redline. I like the driver so much that I have also purchased the Adams Redline 7 wood.
Quality: I am very satisfied with every aspect of this driver. The construction is probably the best of any Adams club that I have every tried. Review Summary: I have picked up a minimum of 20 yards per drive with this driver. It is extremely easy to hit and to control.
I would highly suggest that anyone in the market for a game improvement driver try this one, it is absolutely the best I have ever hit. I have been playing this game for 40 years and have tried all the LH ones I could find. On 2004-04-16, Mark rated this Adams Redline a 5...(3396)
Purchase: I paid $250 with a factory installed Aldila NV shaft at a local golf store. The price was right and the free Aldila just sealed the deal.
Pros: First of all, it has the best stock grip I have ever seen (tour velvet). Although the club is 460cc, it doesn't look that way at all at address. This club is extremely forgiving, and it provides pretty good distance too. It isn't the longest club out there, but I'll sacrifice a few yards for constantly being in the fairway.
Cons: I have to keep reminding myself that I am playing golf, not baseball. The club sounds like an aluminum bat at impact. However, I like that sound much more than my buddy complaining that I outdrove him AGAIN. The constant questions on if the club is conforming or not is also irritating (but with a .830 COR and a 46" shaft, it's perfectly legal).
Quality: I've played about five rounds with the driver now, and it still looks as good as the day I bought it. It won't scratch very easily, and the grip is holding up extremely well. Review Summary: If you're in the market for a new driver and you don't want to empty your bank account for a new club, then take a good look at the Redline. It easily outperformed the comparable TM 360 XD and the Callway Big Bertha. Also, if you can find a factory installed special shaft (I've seen both the Aldila and Grafalloy Blue), then you will make out like a bandit.

Purchase: EBAY PAID $190
Pros: THIS AFTER TOYING WITH MY STANCE HAS BEEN THE BEST CLUB I HAVE EVER OWNED. I AM 10 YARDS FARTHER ON MISHITS AND AT LEAST 15 ON THE SCREWS. TAKES AWHILE TO GET USED TO THE SOUND. FUNNY SORT OF TIN CAN SOUND, BUT YOU CAN GET USED TO IT IN A HURRY WHEN YOU FIND OUT WHERE YOU BALL HAS LANDED. STRAIGHT, NOT A GOOD CLUB TO WORK THE BALL, BUT I PLAY ONCE A WEEK MAYBE TWICE AND STRAIGHT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WORKING THE BALL. IT TOOK AWHILE TO GET USED TO AND I ALMOST GAVE UP ON IT, BUT I AM SURE GLAD I DIDN'T.
Cons: THE ONLY THING I DIDN'T LIKE WAS THE SOUND. IT TOOK SOME GETTING USED TO. LIKE A TIN CAN.
Quality: I HAD THE CUSTOM SHAFT PUT IN GRAFALOY BLUE STIFF. CLUB IS SOLID AND VERY WELL BUILT. HUGE HEAD 460CC. KIND OF LIKE HITTING A BALL WITH A PHONE BOOK ON A STICK. Review Summary: I THINK ANYONE WHO WANTS MORE DISTANCE AND WANT A BORING BALL FLIGHT SHOULD TRY THIS CLUB. IT HAS GIVEN ME BACK DISTANCE I HAVEN'T SEEN IN 20 YEARS. On 2003-08-16, B.

Purchase: I bought this club off of ebay for $200.
Pros: This is a very good club. The 460cc head swings like a 350cc. It is so light and long and it really fires off the tee. I am 16 years old and average 320 yards with this driver.
Cons: I like everything about this unit.
Quality: The stock shaft and grip are amongst the best stock accesories on a club ever. Review Summary: I definitely think that you should go after this club, on ebay, because they are cheap on ebay. It is a very good club for golfers of all skill levels.
