Currently game Mizuno CLK hybrids (20 & 23). They have been in my bag for 2 seasons. While many are negative on Mizunos woods and hybrids, I really like these clubs. Previously had Ping Raptures, which I found way too light (regular stock shaft). I ditched the Pings for the Mizunos.

I keep reading about how wonderful Adams hybrids are to play. I received the latest Golf Town flyer today, they are offering Adams A4s for $60 this coming Sunday (one day special).

I realize that these are not the latest available from Adams, surely technology hasn't changed that much between the older A4s and the current A7s.

Any feedback is appreciated, I'm thinking of heading to my local GT this Sunday to give them a try (albeit indoors on their simulator).

Most companies make pretty good hybrids, but Adams are some of the best out there

Way to make a big assumption.

To the OP, for that price I'd say go splurge on it if you got the extra cash. If it doesn't work out I'm sure you can flip it for nearly the same cost.

i tried the A4 hybrid because I too read about how good they were supposed to be but it wasn't the case for me. I couldn't get that club out of my bag fast enough. everything i hit went left. just wasn't the club for me.

I've got the A4 3 and 4 hybrid. They hit pretty well off the turf and are a good match if you use the A4 irons. But I would caution to make sure they are a match to your set. I also have an A3 2 hybrid that hits like the A4s. Adams makes very good hybrids. The A4 may not match the feel and swing weight of your MP 60s, even with the light steel shaft. The Idea Pro Black may be a better match. I would bring your 5 iron in and swing as a comparison.

P.S. "How do you like the NS 950GH shafts on you MP 60s?"

For me, the NS shaft is a perfect match on the MP60s. I have tried the MP60s with the TTDG regular shafts, the NS simply feel better. On well struck shots, they are silky smooth. When I don't hit it perfectly, there is sufficient feedback without feeling like a tire iron (which is how the DGs felt to me). Thanks for the suggestion of bringing my 5 iron along.

    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
