Recap: LIVE Q&A with Adams Golf from Wed April 23, 2014

[Jimmy Mac]

Well, that's a bummer.

Was ready for new irons this spring. This session with Adams convinced me to go try out the XTDs. Adams wasn't a company I would have previously considered, but I really admired the gang from Adams' innovative thinking and how they addressed a lot of the issues WRXers brought up. Just great straightforward answers, for me that matters.

Our local shop even happened to have the Adams reps in for a demo day this weekend - SCORE. Or not ...

[b]Not a single lefty iron on site for a demo day.[/b] I just can't pop for a set of irons without ever being able to hit one.

They did have a few lefty hybrids to try out. Idea line didn't match up with my swing well. The driving iron/hybrid was fun to play with. But the winner was the "Pro" hybrid, nice feel, great ball flight and still forgiving enough to suit my higher handicap. Loved how my mishits still worked back to the target. I wasn't even shopping for hybrids but may be putting in an order this week. Would have loved to try out the irons, but was impressed at the demo day nonetheless.

Well done, Adams.

i have the adams V3 hybrid/forged irons as a back-up set and the V4s as my main gamers(see my signature)..

i now have 3 versions of the 7-iron---semi-hybrid V3, forged iron V4, hybrid V4...

..the V4 7-hybrid works best for me right now but i understand it's been discontinued...why?

..are there any plans to come out with a V5?

i really like my adams clubs and the V4 7-iiron hybrid is a superb club!!

..i still haven't gotten any reply to my question above but would also like to add the following:

i am 68 and have been playing golf for 56 years now with a career low 3 hdcp but about a 15 now...

i've always liked Adams and had one of the original Tight Lies when it first came out...

Adams has a great selection for us seniors and the V4 is among the best for me and mine are all in lite-flex...

the matching SW and LW of my V4s--and V3s--are excellent and i wish Adams would also make these available in blade-type configuration..

i am also quite impressed with your customer service as i once broke the shaft of my 9088UL driver and they sent me back two(2) replacement shafts FOC!!!..

..keep up the good work and more power!!

No V5 at this time from what I've heard.

I would hope not cause they didn't answer the pre-questions until after. They only answered questions that were asked during the live chat and answered the pre-questions afterward.

I know I know. I happened to ask that question during the pre-question part too. However, they did answer some of the pre-questions as well, I remember seeing their replies and the timestamps on the quotes were from days before.

Ok, so it's one of those things were if you read the instructions it'll give you the answers. I usually throw them away.

I will pose my question now since I will be in Mexico getting married during this conversation...

Has joining the Taylormade family changed the way you market, produce products, or release new technology? Will Adams be accelerating their product cycle to be more in line with the TMaG release timelines?

Thanks guys!
[/quote]

[i]At Adams Golf our product plan is based on a strategy of meeting consumer needs in the market place and exceeding your expectations. Basically giving you guys the types of clubs and performance, which you can’t get anywhere else and giving it to you in ways you’ve never seen before with new and innovative technologies. To do this part of our process it to frequently analyze the market and make predictions on what the other companies are going to do, to determine what type of products we should create and when we should launch. One of the pieces which has helped since the partnership is some visibility into TaylorMade’s product plan to help us determine when the best time for us to launch products will be. This visibility is more information for the team here in North Dallas to use in our decision making process; which is always helpful. [b]The Adams golf marketing, product management and R&D teams are here in North Dallas and are run independently from the TaylorMade group out in Carlsbad.[/b] [/i]

[i]There is no “TaylorMade Launch strategy” that they require all of their brands to adhere too. In fact, at Adams, our product launches have actually decreased since the joining the TMaG family. Before the partnership, Adams Golf had shorter and more evolutionary product launches across more brands, compared to now where we are trying to establish only a few brands at a time, which are our XTD, Pro, Tight Lies and new idea brands. Our focus is on only making golf products, which are new, different and needed in the marketplace, which require longer development times. [/i]

[i]Congrats on the marriage! I get hitched in two weeks, so if you have any tips for the big day, please let me know. [/i]

Thanks for the answer!

Congrats on your marriage and remember to soak it all in, because what people say is true, the day really does fly by incredibly fast. Also, you can't run away and hide in Mexico, if you're getting married in Mexico.

They didn't answer my question. You should pick me anyways..

Does "going thru notifications" mean they message each winner before announcing? Easier to check to see if I have messages then the topic if so.

Rule of thumb: If you see you have a PM from HipCheck, drop what you're doing and read it.

[fishstix94]

^you quoting me and me getting the notification got my hopes up...

[rtraudt]

I try to have the opposite approach- expect nothing and....win nothing. Can't wait to get one of those new Pro DHy's though...Love the ATX Tour Blue in my Tight Lies Tour.
