Adams Idea Pro Hybrids

[jorruss]

Just picked up an Adams Idea Pro 4i Hybrid, and I've got to say I've never been so excited about a new club before. Hitting this thing is like stealing! I've never hit a 4 iron (or any long iron) like this before. This club hits the ball high and straight, with seemingly little effort. On the 198 yard par 3 11th hole at Walkabout Golf Club in Mims, FL into a 15 mph headwind, I just smoked it dead straight. It landed soft and settled 4 feet from the pin. After we turned downwind, on the 14th tee I dropped in on the grass and hit it 230 down the middle off the tee, and on 16 It went 225 up the left side for a perfect angle to the green. You don't even need to tee it up. The 18th hole at Walkabout is 414 yards, into the wind on the second shot. I hit this Idea Pro 23 degree off the tee and again into the green to set up a 25 foot birdie to finish my round.

I can't wait to get the 2,3 and 5 to match! I have to thank Dana Quigley for turning me on to the Adams hybrids. I spoke to him at the tournament in Tampa last year and he told me the same thing he said in Golf Digest recently: "I've made $13 Million playing hybrids, why are average golfers still hitting long irons?"

That's great! I have the Rescue Dual 19* but and am thinking about getting another to replace my 3 iron. Have also thought about trying the Adams Idea Pro hybrids after they got the editors choice on the Hot List in Golf Digest. Good luck with the 2, 3, and 5s when you get 'em!

I played hybrids from Mizuno (FliHI irons), Nickent, and Bobby Jones last season. Finally, I landed some Adams Idea Pro 2 and 3 hybrids. I'll be adding a 4 this season. They are simply amazing. Unquestionably far and away the best of the lot. I suspect the Aldila VS proto blue "By You" shaft is part of the reason. The club feels tight but with sufficient kick at impact to launch it high and far. Really far.

I last played January 4. Hitting the #2 from rough on my second shot on a par five, the ball just lept out of a gnarly lie with such power I was stunned to the point I swore out loud. Just amazing. I think the #2 may be as long as my 3 wood.

I also think I want to try this shaft in a driver. Ping, I believe, lets you order it in a Rapture.
