Has anyone had any experience with the Adams A3 Hybrid?

Do you guys like it? Pros/Cons?

If not, is there a similar hybrid within that price range (~110$) that you have used and liked?

Anything helps!
Thanks!

I haven't hit any of the Adams A3 but for $110 price range, you have a lot of options. I personally like the Adams Idea Pro Gold.

I have the entire iron set of the A3 series. 6-PW are irons; 3, 4 and 5 are hybrids. It took awhile to hit them right, but now that I have sort of figured it out I really like them. Off the deck I can hit the 5h about 200, the 4h about 210 and the 3h around 220.

I still have problems topping the damn ball with these from time to time. I think it happens when I have the ball back in my stance too far. But, when you get the ball in the sweet spot they really take off. Even the regular irons hit farther than I am used to. Maybe they have a different loft. But the other night I hit the 6i 210 off the tee (verified by GPS). I still have no idea how it went that far.

I'd definitely recommend them. You can buy the entire iron set for $300 these days, so paying $110 or whatever is a bit much. You can get them on ebay for about 70 bucks each.

I ordered the entire set a year or so ago. I got the 3h & 4h and 5-pw. I could not hit the hybrids consistently at all, I don't know if the prolaunch red shafts work in the hybrids. For what it's worth, I play the Prolaunch red in my driver and 3w and love them dearly. I think you need a higher launching shaft in the hybrids, however. Just my experience.

I picked up an A3 from Dick's last week for around $60. After hitting it on the range three times and play testing it on Tuesday I'm not sure how I ever lived without it. It's got a fantastic shaft and it's so easy to hit it's stupid. It's also 15 yards longer than my 3i ever dreamed of being.

I have the A3 3i and 4i, and for me they are much easier to hit consistently than regular 3 & 4 irons. You should definitely be able to find them for under $100 new - mine were $90 at Dick's a few months ago.

My A3OS arrived in the mail today. I've got a 7:30 tee time in the morning. I can't wait to try it out.

I really like my callaway x hybrids. After playing a few rounds with them, I like them much better than my Nike sq2 hybrid. They should be in your price range

I just got the A3 iron set with a 3,4,5 Hybrid and 6-PW. I had played a Callaway X hybrid before which was an absolute nightmare to hit compared to the Adams. The square shape makes it extremely easy to get up in the air. I got the entire iron set for $299 on sale. So considering that most of these hybrids go for $80-110 retail that was a heck of a deal. They are a little tough to hit out of deep deep rough though. I would pick up a used one (they are dirt cheap at golf galaxy) and try them out.

How did you hit the A3OS? Was it easy to hit?

It was extremely easy to hit. I get the ball up in the air with height of a seven iron and the distance of a 3 iron. I highly recommend this club.

I played a round the other day and hybrids were hitting missles dead straight. The 3H was going 200+ with a 3/4 swing. They're a little hard to hit out of tall grass or thick rough they don't cut through that well.

Try out the Adams Idea Pro (Gold), I should be getting mine tomorrow in the mail. Other options are Ping G10, TM Burner Rescue, and Nickent 3DX. Also, I haven't hit these but heard great stuff about

: Bobby Jones, Wilson Fybrid,and Cobra Bafflers. The Nickent and Wilson hybrids are very affordable so check those out.

      Day 13 (15 Apr 25)- late afternoon session with 6i full swings into the net and short pitches in the yard, before moving to Sw for controlled up and downs.  For kicks broke out the DCI 16° 1 iron and hit a few as into the net.  Definitely different beast.

      Rory McIlroy Will Never Win the Masters

      By TommyRude ·

      Very respectfully, I disagree.  I still believe there’s a small kernel of truth to my theory.  Hey, you, iacas and many others here are extremely knowledgeable, know the game inside out, know the tour inside out.  I’m just a schmuck who posted a take, admittedly unsupported and not up to reasonable high standards. There’s a background to my take - I’ll attempt to briefly describe it.  Back when Rory first came on tour, I thought he was great - most folks did, his talent was undeniable, and his youthful happy go lucky looking demeanor made him even more likable.  And he won early, fast - at the highest levels. And then the physical workouts started.  That was cool, man he’s looking good.  And as it went along, was even a bit shocking.  But all was still good in the Rory fan club. But as a few years rolled along and the majors stopped, folks like me started to question the effect of the physical build up.  (raising my hand here - - folks like me were probably concentrating 95% on the majors record, and failing to acknowledge his stellar play overall) The matches with Patrick Reed...  Somewhere around that time, Patrick became “the most hated man on tour”.  Raising my hand again, not sure if that timing is accurate, or even if that moniker was deserved.  But when Rory got into the screaming flex-off, it definitely detracted from the earlier Rory likability.  It’s kinda like he was lowering himself to Patrick’s level.  Not so great, for me at least. As the mid 2010s rolled along, and the majors drought continued, and the near misses at the Masters happened, the dreaded ‘choke’ perception inevitably raised its head and persisted.  I joined in with the chorus, not disliking Rory, but certainly questioning his ability to close the Masters or any other major.  Rightfully or wrongly, it was there. Then LIV came along.  As that developed, I saw the anti-LIV sentiment develop along with it, and I took offense to it.  My thought - these guys are being offered life changing $$, and the anti-LIV folks are trying to stop them from getting it. And then when Rory rose to ‘lead’ the anti-LIV sector, that really rubbed me the wrong way.  The press conferences, the parking lot shouting match - it just all seemed really distasteful to me.  And it seemed far far away from the early Rory, who I really liked. So all that (in my own mind) led me down the “Rory will never win.. yada yada”.  Not based on any real statistical analysis.  Not taking into account the incredible stats and winning record he had amassed. Purely based on perception and cultural silliness.  AND - the physical thing, which as I mentioned, I think there’s a tiny kernel of merit there. So - fast forward to Rory’s post win press conference.  THAT was the old Rory I remembered!  The totally cool guy, humble, forthright, honest, self deprecating.  He’s probably been like that all along.  And he’s certainly backed off the hard core anti-LIV persona, at least in public. That’s it.  Just a stupid unsupported take from a dumbsh*t golf fan.  For me, this was the most exciting major since the Tiger era. I really thought it would be a gladiator death match between Rory and Bryson.  I’m surprised that Bryson fell off - - I thought he was well-set-up to handle the pressure.  I’m sure he’ll be there many times in the future, along with Rory.

      By Ty_Webb ·

      I've been watching golf for 35 years and I've seen my fair share of exciting events, but I cannot recall ever watching so much up and down in the fortunes of one player in one round of golf. How good the good shots were and how bad the bad shots were and how he was leading, then not, then leading again, then way clear, then tied, then behind, then leading, then in a playoff, then winning. Heck I aged just watching it on the TV - Rory must have gone through some stuff out there. Just incredible. Consider that Rory had two double bogeys, three bogeys, six birdies, and Rose made only 4 pars, 4 bogeys, and 10 birdies. 10! Round that place? Mind officially blown.
