 From Adams Golf, the Leading Hybrids On the PGA Tour — And the New Speedline Driver That Generates More Clubhead Speed, And More Distance — Through Simple Physics!
Back in the 90’s, we helped Barney Adams launch the revolutionary Tight Lies fairway woods with the inverted profile. Sales briefly rocketed to over $80 million in 1998, but better-financed competitors and technology soon passed Barney by (disclosure — Barney kindly put us on the short list to receive IPO stock, which we since sold — at a loss!). Fast-forward ten years, and Harvard MBA Chip Brewer is firmly in control of Adams. And Chip has orchestrated a remarkable resurgence in Adams’ fortunes. Sales have rebounded to over $100 million — a stupendous feat for an independent clubmaker surrounded by behemoths like Callaway, Nike, Titleist and TaylorMade — on the strength of Adams’ clear-cut leadership in the exploding hybrid segment. Adams dominates the Darrel Survey, which tracks club usage on the PGA Tour. Last year, Adams’ hybrids won 40 of the 48 tournament counts on the PGA Tour — including the counts at all four majors. Here’s why.
Idea a4OS Hybrid — Adams’ best hybrid for the average golfer. A larger sweetspot creates even more forgiveness on off-center hits, so you don’t have to be as robotic as the pros to get pro-style distance. Maximum game-improvement design uses perimeter tungsten weighting and magnesium crown to produce highest launch angle with extreme forgiveness. Slight offset with wider sole; 4 lofts replace 2-5 iron. Comes with Graphite Design shafts and Tour Velvet grips.
