Adams idea pro hybrid tour prototype

anyone still gaming them?
I remember reading a bunch of posts that said these are one of the better hybrids of the past 6-7 years. Just curious as to how they match up to todays market, and if anyone still has them in their bag. Im considering going 16, 20, 24 with stiff shaft. Also, if anyone can chime in. I fit more into a regular flex for my irons. If I were to butt trim these an inch and add SW back to the head will that make them weaker than regular? FYI, I play to about a 12, hit my 6 iron G15 160-165. Driver SS of around 98-100. I hit my hybrids pretty well and rely on them pretty frequently throughout the round as I am not a big driver. In the past my miss was a fade but since I got a proper fitting and went to regular flex steel, my miss is a slight draw.

One more question. My 6 iron loft is 29*. Do you think the gap down to the 24* is too much? I play my irons -1/2 and was told that taking an inch off the hybrids would probably take off around 5 yards or so, so with a slight choke up I am thinking I can fill that gap. Just wondering if anyone thinks ill run into a problem.

thanks.

P.S. golfsmith is running a good sale on these right now. 49.99 with the 15% off coupon and free shipping can be had for little more than 40 bucks. It doesnt say what shaft is in them but I called golfsmith and they said an adams proprietary shaft. not sure what that means. Going to call Adams Monday and ask them if they knew what was in them.

I just ordered an 18* from Golfsmith for $50, so I'll let you know how I like it when it gets here :)

I ordered 16, 20, 24 already this morning. worse comes to worse I can return them. Free shipping code makes it a no brainer. In the past, Ive noticed once WRX gets a hold of a potential deal I always miss out. I didnt last week with the bw .98cent grips. Didnt want to miss out here either. BTW JXT012CVN code doesnt work anymore, but FB15DPFS works the same.

some talk about the FWs in this thread http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/487339-golfsmith-warehouse-sale/page__st__30

I still have a 20 degree in my bag. The closest thing to removing it was the Cobra Baffler. I hit the NIckent 4DX for a while as well, but kept going back to the Adams.

Hey everyone, not to thread-jack, but I posted another thread asking what the stock shaft was in this head. I picked up a head of eBay which I am gaming now (it is great), but never knew what the stock option was.

I just did some reading. I think the stock shaft is aldila nvs 80 "by you". Someone then said that those only came in the first few rounds from adams and then it was a "made for" shaft. Not quite sure but I called golfsmith and they said it was an Adams Proprietary. One other thing I read was that Adams never uses made for shafts anymore but I dont know if that is something recent over the past few years, because I have an old adams ovation 3 wood and the shaft says made for adams. I would prefer a real deal shaft, but honestly with my swing i sometimes benefit from a weaker flex shaft so it doesnt make that much of a difference to me. I just dont want to get this club and automatically have to do a re-shaft if the shaft is terrible.

I still have my 18 deg and have zero plans on getting rid of it. It really is an awesome hybrid and a steal at 50 bucks. I play a ton of long par 3's from 210 to 220 and that hybrid is perfect for them
Edit mine does say made for adams on the vs proto

To fellow wrxers that are not familiar with the Adams Idea Pro, it is a great hybrid for an very good ball striker! It will not except anything less! Pure shots will be rewarded with low-mid trajectory bullets that go forever with low spin. These want and demand to be hit like an iron;downward strike, no sweeping. However, toe hits and heel hits are punished greatly in hooks, short slices, and dramatic loss in distance. It is a wonderful feeling when you catch these on the sweet spot ( longest hybrid I've hit). IMO, people that are 8+ handi need not apply. I myself have a oban revenge in my 18* and I'm looking to pull the shaft and put it in a TM rescue TP or a Adams A7. Also, check out the 2008 Cobra Baffler Pro, that thing is a sleeper for sure!

Yeah, its quite true that this thing needs to be hit solid. I never hit downward and take a divot like with my irons though. Slightly downward angle of attack, small turf interaction and a little chewed up grass and boy do those shots fly.
