Absolutely amazing day at the Adams launch event today at Top Golf with Golf Monthly and David Howell.
We began by watching David Howell do some media shots and instruction videos, then met him and he put me instantly at ease, extremely likeable guy. We then got taken away by Mike and the photographer for some portrait shots for the mag feature - slightly cringe but good fun in various poses with the Adams range.
We then had a range session with the new Adams Blue range and a 20 minute 1-1 lesson with David Howell. Thankfully my nerves didnt get the better of me and I struck the ball quite nicely - he gave me some great tips on squaring my front shoulder and club takeaway a little more outside which had some pretty instant results. He then gave me a lesson in shaping the ball, working on a fade and draw through changing setup which was cool. Tom and then Greg then had their session, Tom worked on club head position at the top and saw massive improvements! I'll let Greg say how Howeller described his backswing! His session was on tempo and clubhead position as well, and it seemed like he got a lot from it too.
The clubs themselves were fantastic, I may have pretty limited knowledge but I couldn't recommend them highly enough for a mid-high HC. Whatever the technology the irons have in them, it really does get the ball to launch easily, and the forgiveness in them meant off-centre strikes were still very good. When I found the sweet spot they really did get out there! Not surprisingly for Adams that the hybrid was an absolute dream - it really felt like cheating when struck well - on and on and on it went, bullet straight.
Finally, we had a really interesting Q&A session with Howeller and got some insight into his life on tour, his mindset, memorable shots etc. Greg asked some great questions around the future of golf which David handled very well. He was also extremely positive around what happened in China last week which was good to hear. I then stuck around for some lunch courtesy of Adams but Greg and Tom had to shoot off.
All in all my best golf related day by miles, so huge thanks to Mike, Joel, the Adams team and Top Golf for the opportunity and hospitality. Another huge thanks as well to Howeller who really was a top bloke, absolutely no ego whatsoever and was really keen to help us out and then share some of his stories.
I now can't wait to receive my clubs! :thup:
