The 9015D from Adams, developed for the Long Drivers of America and used by US Bank Championship winner Richard S. Johnson, will be available at US retail starting October 1, 2008.

Adams Golf announced that the club introduced earlier this year as a prototype will be called the Insight Tech a4 driver, and will be available to consumers beginning Oct. 1. It’s already had a PGA Tour win, in the bag of Richard S. Johnson at the U.S. Bank Championship in July.

The Insight Tech a4 is designed to increase distance for better players. In fact, it got its start as a concept for the Long Drivers of America, who consulted and tested the club. Notably, it incorporates a 15-gram weight on the rear sole to move the center of gravity for optimum launch conditions and medium spin rate. The pear-shaped clubhead reduces drag for higher clubhead speed.

A companion driver, known as the 9016D, was also designed for the LDA – but is primarily geared toward those players who can swing at 120-plus miles per hour. The 9015D, now the a4, is still a long drivers’ stick, but can give good results to players with lower swing speeds.

The a4 will ship with a Matrix Ozik shaft and sell for US$499.99.
