GolfSpy WD Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I was looking at the Super XTD fairways/hybrids on Adams website and thought I'd also look at their other clubs. One thing that struck out at me was the latest Tom Watson wedges: http://adamsgolf.com/products/shortgame/watson_2012_performance.php The copper face looks beautiful IMO (it doesn't hurt that Watson is one of my favorite players). But something else I noticed is they come stocked with Apollo Stepped steel shafts, which is a Hireko product. Hireko recently started selling Adams clubs, so I can't help but wonder if Adams is buddying up with Hireko or has outright plans to buy them. It sort of makes sense, the two companies have similar business models of keeping costs down so they can sell clubs cheaper or make clubs with premium materials. @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarry Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I would suspect this is happening, Hireko said they had more exciting Adams news in the future, I bet this is just part of it. Wouldn't it be nice if Adams went all component like Hireko is!! John Barry Bring the Funk, Back to Golf The Golfer's Trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBarry Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I say it would be a dream come true, they could sell their pre-assembled clubs under Adams, and sell the heads through Hireko and it would be the best of both worlds..a great business model!

Kanoito Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I would seriously do naked backflips down Main St if this happened. That I have to see. What they are they waiting for??? Merge now! The next thing I want to try from Hireko are the Acer XB wedges. They look sweet. Only downside is they don't offer 58* with low bounce Another negative point for me is they charge over $100 just to ship to Germany while others in the US ship for $50 both using Fedex.

JMiller Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I think there is a possible market for all component like on top of the assembled rack models. I was talking about this in a different thread that would be great for people like myself that never fit the mold on what OEMs sell on the rack. Hopefully is Adams goes component based more OEMs would follow, I like Adams drivers, fairways, hybrids good products.

Summitt Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Sorry to bust your bubble, but I'll put the kibosh on this rumor - it ain't going to happen. Just a bunch of coincidences that you guys are reading too deep into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarry Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Jeff, please, please try and make it happen. But, as always, your products stand right up there with the Big OEMs and go toe to toe.
