Been using the older Super XTD 17 degree hybrid for a while now. A good strike off the tee gets me to almost within the same distance as my driver. Great clubs and superb shafts.
I never really got in with Adams. when I was looking for a hybrid, I tried the Adams idea v4 (v3 or v4 i'm not sure) and the wilson staff d100.
I really couldn't connect with the adams, I kept topping it. With the wilson however i hit each one sweet as a nut. I didn't go off distance, just the feel and it was night and day.
Saying that though, everyone's swing is different and there are probably plenty of people that suit adams clubs.
