Does this hybrid go further than other hybrids with the same loft due to the longer shaft?  I am thinking of getting one to replace my 909h 17 degree but if it is too long it will hit too close to my 3 wood and there will be too much of a gap to my next hybrid

It should because of the longer shaft.  I tried the Pro Black Super and found that it was too much like a fairway wood for my liking.  I gave up some distance with the V3, but I feel that because of the shorter shaft I gained some accuracy.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

Absolutely. Mine replaced my 5 wood, and I lost about 10 yards, but I can hit this thing out of the rough infinitely better than my 5w.

I have a 19 degree and I love it.  It is my "go to" club on tight holes off the tee (without a tee) and it's sensational off the fairway or out of rough.  A bit like a 5 wood with a shorter shaft.

I love mine so much I am considering getting another one as a spare.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Just got a gift certificate for my birthday and I'm tempted to spend it on the Adams Idea Black 15 degree Super Hybrid. Anyone with some experience with this particular club?

Looking at the Super Black 19 degree with Green Voodoo  stiff shaft. Can anyone tell me the difference between this and the V3? I am a 12  and looking for an all around hybrid? Any feedback is appreciated!!!

Regards,

As you can see above in my previous post, I was seriously considering the superblack hybrid. I see the 19* superblack hybrid on sale at RBG for under $90 -- a real bargain. The cheapest I've seen the V3 3H is around $190 new. So there is a significant price difference. Here's a thread from this site discussing the v3 vs the superblack hybrid [URL]http://thesandtrap.com/t/45072/adams-idea-v3-vs-super-hybrid[/URL] Adams v3 19 degree (3H) specs lie angle 59.25 length 41.25 inches swing weight D0 Adams superblack hybrid 19 degree lie angle 58.5 length 41 inches swing weight D2 From the specs the only significant difference appears to be the swing weight, but most probably couldn't tell the difference between D0 and D2 The V3 head is smaller and plays more like a hybrid. The 19 degree superblack would play like a short shafted 5wood. Hate to complicate things, but take a look at the 18 degree superfast10 5 wood--it's under $70 brand new at RBG. If you have the chance, go to the "mother ship" Golfsmith in Austin and hit the V3, superblack, and the superfast 10 at their range out back.

i just picked one up last week.  i was deciding between the super hybrid, V3, and the superfast 2.0

the first thing i noticed among all three was the super hybrid just felt heavier and more solid

according to launch monitor i hit this one the farthest and least "left" which ive been fighting with my hybrid

anyway, i prefer a heavier club so this felt perfect for me

and the head really doesnt look that much bigger than the others

fwiw i got it with the matrix ozik shaft

    • Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice. 
    • A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.
    • Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
    • Day 111 - Worked on my grip and higher hands in the backswing. Full swings with the PRGR. 
    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.
