Adams A12 hybrid

Just to update. These hybrids are still sitting pretty and proud in my bag. I love the compact head, the versatility and ease of use. I did swap the 20 degree for an 18 degree and the gaping is absolutely perfect between 3 wood, 18 & 23 degree hybrids.

I know that there is an updated model out now but I really can't see these bats being moved on for quite a long time.

Adams do make the best hybrids going, I just hope TM don't drag them down.

Agreed.

I have a 16 + 20 A12 and they really behaved themselves today in the first full 18 holes for a while. Best rescue clubs I've ever tried

Another tick from me. Love my 20 degree. Although I did have a swing with the 19 degree XTD super hybrid and it was very tempting.

Adams certainly are the hybrid masters.

Just bought a pair of these from a well known auction site! Made the guy an offer for the pair and got a bargain!


After my 20deg club went arrow straight on the 6th (started 10th) 187 yards to seal our 4bbb winter league win with just an 8foot putt left - I love the club even more. That's the one I bought from thecraw, cheers mate!

Yup got an Adam 12 OS to replace my 3 iron.. it is a good club. However, replaced my 4 iron with a Yonex hybrid and I must say the Yonex is proving to be more reliable than the Adam. The velocity slot needed a bit getting used to, but now works fine for me.

PS: Adam is now owned by TaylorMade. So dont be surprised if TM launches clubs with 'velocity slots' :whistle:

Like the RBZ already has? Its also rumoured to be the reason TM bought them as it was cheaper than the lawsuit that Adams filed for breach of copyright.

what Yonex hybrid was it? I had the XTC and it was a cracker

I think it is the Yonex Golf Nanospeed 3i Hybrid, it is my 4 iron replacement... hated it coz it was not a 'good brand'; now you will need to fight me to take it away. I think Yonex does some pretty good clubs, but just not well regarded here. If i could, I might even consider replacing my Adam with a Yonex (for my 3 iron)

These clubs get better and better. Hit a couple of corkers at Machrihanish today. Best hybrid I have ever hit by a country mile.

i sorted out the problems i was having with this club. i had been gripping too far up the shafts and trying to murder it. gripped about an inch and and half further down and started hitting it well again.

I might try this... I hit my Yonex 4 replacement like a dream, but i am rubbish with my Adam 3 iron replacement... might try and choke it a bit.
