Older school fairway metals as modern utility clubs?

I'll raise you all these beauties that were supposed to do the exact same thing but have been lost to time.  Most of these came in 14-22* of loft.  They just got overshadowed by the popularity of hybrids because these marketed as fairway woods but they went the distance of hybrids, so most people didn't want them because they flew too short.  In hindsight, had they come out 10-12 years later, these would have given the Callaway Apex UW and some of the other larger hybrids/smaller fairways probably a tough run for their money.  There is also an Adams model that I swore was called "Super" something and was green and black with a green Aldila Voodoo shaft, but I can't find photos on my lazy search.  All it returns are the White Super Hybrid that came out with the Adams Super LS model drivers.

Adams Super Hybrid. I have a 17* that I treat like a 4 wood. They’re a perfect size and very cost effective.

You could always pick up another and use it as your shaft experimental unit.  🙂

 

I had thought of that, but it might not have the magic that this one has 😄

 

TM Euro workshop shafted it and got it to a swingweight for me, and ever since it’s just felt perfect. I don’t know how they did it. Witchcraft, I think. That or hot melt.
