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.

Choose Your Driver: Which 2012 driver was your favorite?
The year was 2012. Gangnam Style ruled supreme, its infectious beats and ludicrous horse-riding dance moves hypnotizing us with their stupidity. Everyone was talking about the Mayan calendar, convinced that the end of days was near. Superheroes soared on the silver screen, with the Avengers assembling in epic fashion. Katniss Everdeen survived The Hunger Games. And the memes! The memes abounded. Grumpy Cat triumphed. We kept calm and carried on.
In much the same way that automotive enthusiasts love classic cars, we at GolfWRX love taking a backward glance at some of the iconic designs of years past. Heck, we love taking iconic designs to the tee box in the present!
In that spirit, GolfWRX has been running a series inspired by arguably the greatest fighting game franchise of all time: Mortal Kombat. It’s not “choose your fighter” but rather “choose your driver.”
Check out some of the standout combatants of 2012 below.

Nike VRS
Often harshly critiqued during its years releasing golf equipment (right, Phil Mickelson?), Nike’s tenure in the club-and-ball business gets a gloss of nostalgic varnish, with many of its iron and putter designs continuing to attract admirers. Among the company’s driver offerings, the 2012 VRS — or VR_S, if you will — drew high marks for its shaping and toned-down appearance. The multi-thickness, NexCOR face was no joke either.
Check out our coverage from 2012 here.
Callaway RAZR Fit
Callaway’s first foray into moveable weight technology (married with its OptiFit hosel) did not disappoint. With a carbon fiber crown, aerodynamic attention to detail, and variable and hyperbolic face technologies, this club foreshadowed the tech-loaded, “story in every surface” Callaway drivers of the present, AI-informed design age.
Check out our coverage from 2012 here.
Cleveland Classic 310
Truly a design that came out of left field. Cleveland said, “Give me a persimmon driver, but make it titanium…in 460cc.” Our 2012 reviewer, JokerUsn wrote, “I don’t need to elaborate on all the aesthetics of this club. You’ve seen tons of pics. You’ve all probably seen a bunch in the store and held them up close and gotten drool on them. From a playing perspective, the color is not distracting. It’s dark enough to stay unobtrusive in bright sunlight…Even my playing partners, who aren’t into clubs at all…commented on it saying it looks cool.” Long live!

Titleist 910
While there’s no disputing Titleist’s “Titleist Speed” era of drivers perform better than its 2010s offerings, sentimentality abounds, and there was something classically Titleist about these clubs, right down to the alignment aid, and the look is somewhere between 983 times and the present TS age. Representing a resurgence after a disappointing stretch of offerings (907, 909), The 910D2 was a fairly broadly appealing driver with its classic look at address and classic Titleist face shape.
Check out our coverage from 2012 here.
TaylorMade RocketBallz
The white crown. The name. You either loved ‘em or you hated ‘em. TaylorMade’s 2012 offering from its RocketBallz Period boasted speed-enhancing aerodynamics and an Inverted Cone Technology in the club’s titanium face. Technology aside, it’s impossible to overstate what a departure from the norm a white-headed driver was in the world of golf equipment.
Check out our coverage from 2012 here.
Ping i20
Long a quietly assertive player in the driver space, Ping’s i20 was more broadly appealing than the G20, despite being a lower-launch, lower-spin club. Ping drivers didn’t always have looks that golfer’s considered traditional or classic, but the i20 driver bucked that trend. Combining the classic look with Ping’s engineering created a driver that better players really gravitated toward. The i20 offered players lower launch and lower spin for more penetrating ball flight while the rear 20g tungsten weights kept the head stable. Sound and feel were great also, being one of the more muted driver sounds Ping had created up to that time.

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.

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

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.
