Adams - no1 hybrid on the European Tour

[NBonfield]

Hi all,

Adams Golf has been announced as the number one hybrid on the European Tour, following similar success on the PGA, LPGA, Champions and Web.com Tours. You can read about the achievement here: http://www.golf-monthly.co.uk/tours...-golf-number-one-hybrid-on-european-tour.html

Does anyone have the SUPER 9031, SUPER DHy or any other Adams hybrid, and, if so, what makes them so good?

Nick

I play a 15* Super LS hybrid.

It has a titanium crown and face with speedslot and is approaching max COR, which makes it perfect for what I want that particular club to do. Long, strong piercing flight with no ballooning, good carry distance with good roll, etc. I also find it easy to hit well and with good dispersion.

The reason I play the 15* hybrid rather than 15* fairway wood is the smaller head profile (though it is still on the large side for a hybrid) and the shorter stock playing length of 42" which I find easier to control.

Also, Adams clubs typically come with quality aftermarket shafts installed; they may not work for everyone, but they certainly work better for me (when the profile is a good fit, of course).

I'm a real Adams fan as you can see from my sig below...

I bought 2 Adams Super S hybrids (19 and 22 degree) at the start of the season and up to half way through the season I couldnt put a foot wrong with them. Off the tee I could hit the 22 degree 190-200 and the 19 210-220 and the flight was quite a penetrating right to left shape. They were also really forgiving.

The Kujoh Kage shaft feels quite firm and I ended up going with a regular shaft which i think was a mistake long term. The last few months i've found myself constantly fighting the left side of the course with them, and have switched back to my irons and instantly become more consistent. I have now decided to part ways and they have gone on the great auction web-site in the sky, but it was good while it lasted !!

Had a hit with a friends and they are great. Think it was called Idea Pro so maybe an older model. The Tight lies fairway wood is good as well. Really hope they get more established over here as they do make some quality kit

I bought a super S 3 iron replacement during the masters weekend, originally I had spec'd a stiff shaft, but was sent a regular. The regular felt okay so I kept it, and it has been pretty impressive. The distance I can squeeze out of it and the flight shape are pretty impressive, not to mention its pretty forgiving and hot across the whole face. I was quite smitten that I decided to look for a 4 iron replacement on EBay. I got lucky, some chap had barely used it and I got it for half the retail price. This has been in my bag since September and its making it's self very popular. I now have 2 par 3s sewn up into the wind and any long second shot slightly off the fairway in the second cut is fair game as well. I am really looking forward to next season, I have a feeling my confidence will be riding high with these in my bag.
The only gripe is the white matt finish seems to attract grass stains ... But that could be sorted.

big thumbs up here too.

ive have a12 pro 16* and 22*. newest addition is the 15* xtd super hybrid. easier than the a12 pro to hit due to the in between hybrid/wood sized head. the thing is a low spin beast. it goes about as far as my driver on a good hit. recently found out im putting 4000+ rpm on my driver swings which could account for some distance loss plus very little roll.

whatever wonders they have packed into the xtd is amazing. piercing flight with plenty of roll. its my go to club when the driver is all over the place (as usual) or the fairways are tight!


I would love to try the dhy and drivers. gutted I didn't get selected for the adams fitting day. that would have been fantastic!

I've got the super s it goes like a bullet out of the rough , havnt mastered it off the tee tho

I don't have any of their current models but I used to play with their 3,5 and 7 woods. I hit all really well, I only changed as the shafts were regular and I needed stiff shafts. I wouldn't think twice about trying out and buying Adams woods or hybrids in the future.

 

[garyinderry]

has anyone tried the tight lies woods?

has anyone tried the tight lies woods?

Yep equally as good

I'll be the first to say it - why do they have to gouge a bloomin' great trough out of the crown..?
The basic shape and look is great but someone's taken a chisel to it.
I don't like the look from the top.....

 

[Liqdaddymac]

Stock shafts are top notch!

I had a 18* DHY and if I played links all the time would still have it. Ultimately it was too long and became a pointless club for me unless I moved to a higher lofted one.
traded it for a Super9031 and although long it lands soft due to high flight and can be worked well.

tight lies tour has ended my 3 year search for 'the one' for me. Again, great stock shaft, small head long and so easy to hit off the deck. far better in my opinion than all the others I tried recently.

although happy with all my clubs now, I will no doubt test the XTD driver when it comes out after my experiences with hybrids and fairway.

My thoughts exactly - a perfectly good club ruined by hacking a great big chunk out of it.

I initially thought the same but after seeing it in the flesh I loved it.

I want one of these! I was in AG the other day with the mind set of getting a G25 hybrid (I like Ping, go figure), but after picking up every hybrid in the store and settling into an address position, the Super S felt the most comfortable to me. I'm sure the performance will be more than adequate so WANT ONE, WANT ONE, WANT ONE

 

[Odvan]

Still puzzles me why so few people have the Adams drivers. I love my Super S Speedline. I'd have no hesitation in buying the hybrids but am also at one with my mizuno mp-clk's.

Looks like there not resting on their laurels either some new XTD being given a bash tomorrow I see...

 

[bigslice]

the dhy is a cracking club, i like them cos they work and adams gave me mine in my sig for free, cheers GM

 

[HomerJSimpson]

That surprises me given the number of TM players on tour who I would have thought would have been persuaded as much as possible to use those models. Good news for Adams. Not seen many around for the club golfer especially in pro shops locally

Doesn't surprise me at all - also TM being brought into it doesn't surprise me also

Also aren't Adams owned by TM anyway
