New Adams IDEA Super Hybrid Photos
Here are some pics of the new Adams Super SS and LS Hybrids.
Adams LS Hybrid:
According to Adams Golf the VST in the sole increases CT to 250. They also added:
- Refined crown slot creates higher launch angle without increasing spin for longer carry distance.
- Titanium crown and face + stainless steel sole + VST = maximum face hotness.
- Matte white crown with contrasting PVD face increases apparent club size and ease of alignment for increased confidence at address.
Adams S Hybrid:
According to Adams Golf the Cut-Thru VST in the sole increases CT to 230 creating an ultra hot stainless steel hybrid.
- Refined Crown Slot creates higher launch angle without increasing spin for longer carry distance.
- Matte White Crown with Contrasting PVD Face increases apparent club size and ease of alignment for increased confidence at address.

In our forums, users are talking about top of bag setups that are non-traditional or thought-provoking in some way. Original poster @SuperSpurs106 inquired about other members who might use unorthodox set-ups to help with gapping issues or weak spots.
They wrote:
“I currently have a PING G430 driver, TM Qi35 3W and a TM Qi4D 7W. Driver and 7W are fine but can’t get on with my 3W and have always struggling with this club over the years. Thinking of adding a 2H which I know would look odd. Just wondering if anyone else had a weird set up at the top of their bag?”
Our members in the forum have offered up their thoughts and personal experiences with non-traditional top of bag set-ups, and their reasoning for thinking outside of the box to begin with. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- BowMain42: “Don’t worry about what “looks” odd. If the club does what you need it to do, it’s the right club.”
- scooterhd2: “I cant hit 3 woods either. Thats why I roll with a unicorn XL Hibore 2 wood. 400 cc head at 16 degrees of loft and its just a monster 3 wood off the tee. Off the deck, we are playing the f6 baffler. 5 wood at 41.75 inches and its easy to control.”
- phizzy30: “I had driver, 3 metal, 2/4 hybrid once upon a time as a higher ss player. 4 hybrid is gone and in place is a driving iron nowadays. I don’t think what you’re proposing is weird in anyway, however the yardage gap might be glaringly huge between driver and 2 hybrid. What is it about your 3 metal that has got you all messed up? You could always go 4 metal with shorter shaft and see if that works.”
Entire Thread: “Interesting clubs at top of bag”
If you aren’t a member, join us in the GolfWRX forums today!
In our forums, one user has gone searching for fellow users of a mini driver. In a post, @TightFade asked for other mini driver users to chime in with their weapon of choice, the reason for employing a mini, and what club follows it in the bag.
@TightFade asked:
“What mini are you playing? What spot in the bag did it take over? What’s the next club after it? For me: Elyte mini 13.5. Replacing 3w. Next up club looks like it’ll be 5w.”
Our members in the forum have been sharing their own bag setups featuring the mini driver, and the various reasons they purchased one in the first place. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- RCGA: “Ping G430 Max 12* ‘Thriver.’ Next club is a 4w and 2i (I play a weird course).”
- JMB3: “R7 at 12.75 with Diamana BB 63s. 3w replacement. Next Club: Elyte Ti 5w at 17*.”
- ColdOkieGolf: “R7 15.5 turned down to 13.5 It replaces the 3w. I found it surprisingly easy to hit off the deck, and it’s very rare that I need or want to hit something beyond 250 from the fairway, so next club is my 7w.”
- ChaosTheory: “I’m sub-90 MPH with driver. But I’m able to hit DOD. I have been wanting something like the R7 15.5, so I just ordered one. I have a spot in the bag so nothing has to go. But I could see it replacing my trusty 4 wood, which I never use for approach shots. Just tee shots and lay ups. If I drop the 4 wood, I will turn my 7 wood down to ~20 degrees and will have good gaps. I recently tried a thriver build: 12 degree driver turned to 14, with a heavier 44 inch shaft and added head weight. I hit it great. Very accurate and not overly high, but the problem was that it sometimes went as far as a typical drive. And that’s not what I needed. So I will probably turn the 15.5 up to 16.5 or even 17.5. It’s all theoretical at this point. ?”

From a neuroscience standpoint at least the word “super” conjures up subconscious positive thoughts.

If y’all would do your research the reason the crown graphic is the way it is is cause Adams was bought out by TaylorMade so of course it’s going to look like TM graphics

Can Adams stop copying Taylormade for at least one Product

I love my A12 pro hybrid. It’s rediculously easy to hit straight and has great distance. I’m sure these are at least as good but I agree, I can’t take the white crown. I looked at the TMAG drivers and they look dingy. The graphics and the lines on the driver make it look even worse. Give me black or at least a choice of the color I want. How hard can it be to offer both colors?

My black Adams A3 25 hybrid is great.
I’m sure when i need a 23 or 19 a black Titleist 913 will do just Super!

The graphics are more subdued than the ones on the Taylor Made products, so these may be alright. Too bad TMaG is turning Adams into a clone manufacturer so they can say in a couple of years that Adams will no longer be due to too much duplication of product.

I’ll stick with the a12 tour hybrids for now. These look like a real performer, but I can’t stand looking at anything white, and agree they should offer in matte black.

taylor made bought adams golf said they would operate separately but the stuff they are putting into adams is taking away from the greatness of adams

Everybody said the same thing when TMAG introduced the white driver, and now it’s the most popular driver in the world. I have his these woods and they are ridiculously long. TMAG is also doing the graphics on their woods and it is because they frame the ball well. If the staff players that have already tested these clubs are excited about using them then I think people will be ok with them.

Ditto with all. I wonder if you can get ’em without the stupid graphics?? Or at least go all out and put a big red valentine in the middle…. Seriously, I am glad I got my A12’s before this transition.

I agree with you all. TM impact is evident. It’s a shame because ADAM made great looking equipment before. All about brands and how they look on the PGA tour. White is taylormade.

I wonder who the numskull was that figured they would put distracting graphics on the crown? Really. They’re not the only manufacturer to put unnecessary graphics, but this is among the worst.
Mike
Dec 12, 2012 at 11:40 pm
Does it seriously say “SUPER” in bold letters across the crown? What a joke. Adams what have you done?
Adam
Dec 12, 2012 at 11:12 pm
I agree. Why don’t these companies wake up all the way. They make headcovers look old and simple, clevland makes an older looking driver, every good player wants something clean looking, I NEVER play Taylor made, even their blades look weird in the bag. SIMPLE AND CLEAN, titleist understands somewhat. I bet these will be amazing and launch the ball. I love these hybrids because I can hit them just as far with 1.5 inches less on the shaft, I just HATE the color. How hard is it to offer them in matte black for 20 bucks more, special order, I would order one

These look like the burner from a couple of years ago – crown is awful

the graphis on the crown are awful. I cant believe anyone would follow taylormade on this one.

Here we go…enough with the white driver, wood, and hybrid heads. I knew this was gonna happen when TMAG took over. Matte black finish please!!!!!

I think i could lie with the graphics if it doesn’t cost $300.
