I understand that many folks really like the slow rods, hence the
comments about glass and boo. I, on the other hand, like a really
fast rod (for 4wt or heavier). I use an ADG Titan 8' 4wt. Its my
favorite rod and Roger Olsen declared it "dangerous." This after
watching him blast multiple casts across to the far bank at the Cabin
Run at Penns (and yes, it is an 8 foot 4wt)!
Question, what other brand/model fly rods are on the market that you
would consider really fast? Someone handed me their "fast" T&T that
felt slow as molasses. Looking at the market for Xmas and want to
narrow down the field (though I may just go and get ADG).

Powell came out with a rod to compete with Sage's TCR. It's called Edge.
I've cast a 5wt and it was a "fast" rod. Not sure what happened to the
line, but it's on sale at Sierra Trading Post now.

Temple Fork Outfitters have come out with a new, "fast" rod, called
Axiom. Haven't tried one, but heard good reviews so far. I owned a Scott
S3 5wt, which I thought was a bit too fast for a 5wt.....and I like fast
rods. Winston has come out with a rod to compete in the "fast" fly rod
market. Boron MX is what I think it's called. I know there are more
"fast" rods out there, but these are the ones that come to mind right now.
