BK in TEXAS Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Went to Golfsmith tonight to do some mothers day shopping (true story) with my daughter. I took a spin through the club section and the Adams hybrid rack actually made me stop. They looked far better than I remember. I've never had anything against Adams....but never really had any interest either. But...checking the hybrid line out makes me want to go back and try some out. Anyone else out there playing or tried Adams hybrids?

Jondagcl Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I did. I demoed the adams hybrids when I was replacing my 07 burners a few months back. Felt good, head shape is very close what I moved to in the x2 hots. Sort of a stocky compact head shape. I got real consistent ball flights on the launch monitors at the shop. The pro models and the x2 hots I ended up with are real similar. I just couldn't keep looking down at the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else out there playing or tried Adams hybrids? Half the PGA tour and 3/4 of the champions tour. Aside from that I have. In fact I've bagged at least two Adams hybrids and often three the last seven years. I played from the back tees today, don't ask, so they got a workout. I just don't have the game any more to play from 7,100 yards at sea level.

Jondagcl Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Half the PGA tour and 3/4 of the champions tour. . Funny how I almost started my initial reply with a line similar to this! I'm clearly in the minority with my personal issue with the slot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBones Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I picked up a 14° Super Hybrid in the plastic for $60 shipped and I'm in love with it. It replaced both my 3w and 17° hybrid, leaving room for another wedge. Follow @GolfspyBones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK in TEXAS Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm going back in the morning to hit some balls. The pro mini and pro dhy have really piqued my interest.

MmmmmmBuddy Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I have the original DHy in play at the moment, and the thing is amazing off the tee, for me, but I struggle a bit hitting it from thicker lies.

Max F Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Love the Adams hybrids. I used the Pro Gold for several years (2h, 3h). Last year I updated to the Super LS (19*). Great off the tee but I had a tendency to hook it sometimes and had trouble getting the high launch, soft landing I came to expect from a hybrid. It could have been the shaft, though. This year I traded it in on the 20* XTD-Ti hybrid with the Matrix Red Tie shaft and so far could not be happier. It gives me the distance of the Super LS and the control and feel of the Pro Gold. The slot does not bother me one bit, although the slot on the bottom of the club needs to be cleaned out after hitting off sloppy lies. It's good from the tee, fairway, and rough.

BK in TEXAS Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hit a whole bunch of them this morning on the launch monitor. After researching them online last night I went in there pretty darn sure I would want the Pro Mini. Turns out I was spanking the Pro DHY better than the Mini or the Pro. It looks more like a game improvement iron than a hybrid. That's fine with me really......I like the way it looks. I ordered the 21Ëš and 24Ëš. If they play like they did in the store I'll seriously consider replacing my 5i with the 27Ëš as well. Very nice club! http://www.adamsgolf.com/products/hybrids/pro_dhy_hybrids.php MENTOR, L4 COACH & TRAINER FIRST TEE GREATER HOUSTON HDCP: 8.3 (GHIN: 3143312) In my bag, April 2023 TS3 Driver & 4 Wood Hzrdous Smoke Shaft (Stiff Flex) TS2 Hybrids Mitsubishi Tensei Shaft (Stiff Flex) MP-59 5-PW; KBS Tour (Regular Flex) SM8 Wedges EVNROLL ER2 Putter SRIXON Z-STAR DIAMOND BALL Sun Mountain Cart Bag 4.0 Push Cart (I'm walking 9 outta 10 rounds!!)

Jmikecpa Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I have been playing Adams hybrids since the A4s came out and currently have the 15* Super Hybrid in the bag as a 3 wood, 9031 Super Hybrid 18* and a DHY 24* shafted with an Aerotech Steelfiber.
