Summary: I have tried numerous hybrids so I could leave my 2 & 3 iron out of my bag, and I have to say I will be selling the 2 & 3 on ebay soon. This club is to sweet, flies low and straight. I can fade when I need to and they are great to choke down on to use as a 4 or 5. I csan't expess enough as to how well these clubs are, swing easy and they do all the work,you just need to demo if your in the market! I did opt for the OS version as I am only getting older!
Summary: This thing is HOT. Ball comes off the face HOT, not comparable to my old G5. You will feel it alright, and so easy to hit straight with an enormous SWEET SPOT. Even if your off a bit, it still feels sweet off the face. Less feedback than other clubs b/c every shot feels like solid contact. Prolaunch Red shaft is a great stock shaft even if 80g is a touch heavy, its perfect for me (driver speed= 97mph). Sets up to the ball nicely. Demo this club without tape on it though and get it off Ebay new!

Model Reviewed: Adams Insight Boxer XTD - reg 10.5
Summary: I had sold all my 'stock' of drivers 2 months ago because I had been so happy and settled with the Adams BUL 5000.
THEN, Adams goes and ruins every thing by bringing out the new Long Distance club , the XTD.
If the BUL is good ..... then obviously the XTD will be better :)
So, EBAY was visited and £120 later I had one shipped from USA to UK.
Now, 3 rounds and several driving range sessions later I can honestly report that ADAMS have been under estimating the true power of this new Driver.
I have added 8 to 10 yards on drives and can hit with more confidence , as the ball seems to want to go straight !!!
The extra yards gained by me were also the same experience my playing partners had, when I let them use it this afternoon.
One of my 3 ball, was a junior girl golfer, 15 y.o. and playing from a 9h/c .. incredibly she gained over 20 yards on each and every drive over her own TM R7.
Needless to say, her parents are on EBAY, as I type, looking for a purchase to get to England.
The Aldila DVS stock shaft is truly powerful and it really unwinds in the hitting zone. Normally I dislike lightwieight shafts, but this 55 gram shaft has been perfectly weighted by the R&D of Adams.
The club looks stunning - not a right angled square club but a sort of cross between square and traditional.
My only criticism is the base of the club seems to mark very easily and already the are several deep scratches and scuffs (although this time of year there is plenty of sand around on our winter tees)
This club has been adopted by the 'Long Drivers of America' and on my own observations I can fully understand why.......

Model Reviewed: Adams A3 OS Hybrid (3 iron replacement)
Summary: Picked up the 3 iron replacement hybrid last night. Launch monitor at the store wasn't working. Well either that or I need to get out on the tour since I hit a couple of 528 yard drives right down the pipe.
Anyway, Out of all the hybrids I tried this was the easiest to swing and I caught it in the sweet spot more times than not. I'm not a good golfer(yet), but this club will definantley help me out when I am out on the fairways.

Summary: Fairway woods, forget them! These clubs are so easy to hit straight, with little effort. I'm far from a good player but if you just swing the clubs they provide consistent results everytime 3- 210yds 4 -195 5 -180. (driver 240/94mph) Hit it on the heel or toe and you might loose 20 yards but it still gets out there. Want clubs to work the ball this is probably not your clubs, want to get it down the course straight these are the ones. I can not overstate the ease of swing and distance that results with these clubs. When I first got them I had the "hammer it home" mentality, which can cause a pull, almost impossible to hit them to the right. I eased up on the swing speed and started hitting 200 plus with my 3 Hybrid dead straight- Adams calls it High MOI, I call it very cool!
