Tour "The Modern Classics" (Episode 2): Adams Idea Pro Tour Prototype hybrid

atursky · January 23, 2023

In case you missed it, GolfWRX launched a new 8-part club testing video series, called "The Modern Classics," in partnership with 2nd Swing. For the first episode, we tested out TaylorMade's Tour Preferred MC irons from 2011.

This week, we test the Adams Idea Pro Tour Prototype hybrid from 2006 (as seen in Bernhard Langer's bag in 2022). Check out the full video here:

Adams was so under rated during that time. I wish I still had a set of the MBs. Funny how many OEMs are putting weights in the back of the iron heads now.

Bagged these Idea Pro hybrids immediately when they came out moons ago. They are still in the bags for many of us old geezers. Cult classics.

Iron-like offset with iron length shafts. Very solid feel at impact with no "springy" face flex. Anti-left bias in my hands.

Don't forget about the peanut (PNT) prototypes that were all the rage here at GolfWRX back then!

I absolutely loved this head with the red Matrix Altus!! Good memories 😎

The 4 is still in my bag as a perfect 195-205 yard club. No hybrid is as consistent.

Still have an 18* with Altus in the garage.

That Altus shaft was so nice.

The stock RIP'd VS Proto was a great shaft. Also had some good shots with the Adams hybrid and a Graffalloy C-Note.

But I think the best early 2000s hybrid was the Nickent with the IROD shaft. WRX had one with the logo laser etched in it that we sent around for demoes. I hit that think to the back of our range several times. Wish I could have kept it, someone won it at the end of the trials.
