Looking for mini headed hybrid options. Does anyone know what a (more) modern equivalent would be to the old adams pro/idea/red versions? a bit like this size/shape:
around 20/22 loft

Mizuno ST max are quite flat to the ground and similar in shape. Really nice. Adjustable hosel give 2 degrees either way but I think the 4 would be 22deg

My old Callaway apex pro was a very similar shape to that.... not sure about the brand new ones but cant imagine they have changed much

Callaway Apex maybe? Mizuno Fli-Hi I think were a bit more iron-like. And lastly, TaylorMade had the GAPR range where one of them was a thinner profile hybrid. I think that was then replaced by the 'DHY' or something like that.
I would second that. I have one and it's very similar in shape and size.

Thought these were more of a driving iron hybrid, something like this

That is the adams tech in new cloths. TM bought adams to use their technology.

Cheers for the suggestions to look at. I really only need it for a 2nd shot out of 1st cut when hitting 4/5iron isn't practical and a hybrid head will keep its path a bit better through the grass
I've had regular sized hybrids before and they work fine for me but with 4iron etc in the bag I just don't need hybrid for distance off fairways and the mini head/crossover style looks far better to my eye

The he DHY and the Ping Crossovers are the new sort of “mini hybrid” - closer to a driving iron etc

I was (maybe wrongly) trying to stay away from something designed as a driving iron. Figuring since its primary use is designed to be from a good/great lie i.e a tee or fairway and it might lack in cutting through 1st cut grass as well as a hybrid head shape,
I just don't want a hybrid with a 'lump' on the end (I mean the business end
)

The TM Sim Hybrids ( and Sim 2) are pretty small in the head
A lot of the modem ones are mainly small
I think that’s why more these days are looking at the likes of 7 and 9’woods etc

If you can find a Mizuno CLK hybrid 2020 or 2023, it might work. I love mine, and it's quite a small head, shallow face option compared to other hybrids I tried.

This was the one before the DHY that was a bit more hybridy. I used one for a couple of months but ended up preferring a 7 wood.I was (maybe wrongly) trying to stay away from something designed as a driving iron.

This, I’ve got the 2016 apex’s and they look identical to the Adams.
Taylor Made brought the Rights to all Adams Stuff. i think they had something similar out recently GPR or something like that

Didn’t they buy it due to a pattern that they wanted to use?

I still use an Adams Idea in my bag at times, I like it in winter conditions.

Yeah, I think that 'speed slot' gap behind the face was what they used. That was definitely on an old Adams club I had, that it turned up on the TM M2 I think.

I may just have purchased an Adam’s XTD driver on a nostalgic whim after reading this thread. Had one way back and it was great, just odd looking at the time.

I still have, and use, several Adams hybrids - the "Idea Pro Tour Prototype" models.
