Going to give Adams a closer look...


BK in TEXAS

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  Aldila  R flex   - 42.25 inches 

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Ping G410 7, 9 wood  Alta 65 R flex

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

I've been playing Adams hybrids for a long time.  I currently have 2 of the LSP's in my bag off the tour van.  Original Peanut shape with the slot technology is sweetness.

Have a ton of back-ups in all categories, but there are always 14 clubs in the bag that differ depending on the course and set-up. Bomb and gouge. Yes, I'm a club gigolo.

I'm going back in the morning to hit some balls. The pro mini and pro dhy have really piqued my interest.

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.  Just FYI...

If you're great off the tee how do you end up in thicker lies?

 

Couldn't pass that one up. :)

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.

What's in the Bag:

Driver: TaylorMade SLDR 10.5 (set to 11.5), Kuro Kage Aftermarket Only Blue 60S, NDMC+4

Hybrid: Adams XTD-ti 20 (set to 19.5), Matrix hQ3 Red Tie Stiff

Irons: Mizuno JPX 825 Pro 4-GW, KBS Tour Stiff, 1* flat, Blue PURE DTX

Putter: Bettinardi Studio Stock 15, 34", 5* loft, 2* flat, SuperStroke Slim LITE 3.0 

Bag: Mizuno Aerolite SPR stand bag

Ball: Wilson Staff Duo Urethane (summer), Srixon Q-STAR Yellow (winter)

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!

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.  As you can see from my bag I happen to like Adams products quite a bit.
