The RETURN!!



The RETURN!! – The return of a WELL KNOWN Tour Brand!! These clubs have certainly been a fan favourite with all tpes of golfers over the years including MY Grandad and Myself!!! Have you ever had or still have Adams Golf Clubs??!!

Today we’re talking about a brand that was very famous very popular but disappeared a couple of years ago I say a couple of years ago probably a decade ago did this brand disappear but they have made a comeback and the reason for this video is we picked up a fantastic

Hybrid at golf clubs for cash and we’ve been hitting easy shots that are launching great like that and that’s what we want to talk about where has Adams been they used to be a company that was Under the Umbrella of tailor made have they come back on their own

Certainly had some fantastic clubs but when I say we went to golf clubs for cash there’s certain golfer on the channel who has been hitting this club absolutely fantastic some of the best shots I’ve seen him hit pretty much in all the time that I know him which I’ll

Overlay now he’s laughing because he knows it’s the truth we’re going to get him in now obviously he’s hit this quite a lot so he’s a man who should really come in because if you’re an everyday golfer he probably more relatable so Inc comes Dave obviously on screen are just

The high highlights of the shots Dave’s been hitting with this as you’ll see by the fly over a tricky dog leg so You’ got to get in position and Dave can use this club to get past the corner and if it hits it like it has on previous shots

With this that should be no problem and that Dave is on a string tell you what fantastic shot might even it might have even snuck past mine Dave great shot let’s talk Adams so guys obviously Adams is a a company that I did have some

Clubs when I was a junior my Grandad had the tight Li which you’ll see on screen now did anybody have those fantastic Woods I think I’ve still got them at home so they might make a a return very Sleek looking and certainly got good distance but Dave you said that

Obviously you’ve you tried to get Adams I did at the time I tried to get Adams and they were they weren’t easy to get old of not everybody stocked them I looked around and um you couldn’t really buy stuff online back then as much much I don’t think you could anyway no Dave’s

Only just Dave’s only just figured out the internet but um but obviously yeah they weren’t very easy to get hold ofr I think just shot very very close there so only just behind but obviously these Brands now which you find harder to get hold of like Mizuno is quite elusive you don’t

See those fitted everywhere Wilson Wilson Wilson shrien and Adams were very much in that kind of way before you had to buy them online or you just had to hope your pro had some in but he may not know much about them but Dave some fantastic shots with it he’s going to

Hit one in here now see what I can score so this has put Dave in position a so we played this hole earlier Dave hit a driver and it and it just got past that bunker so probably only 20 yards 25 yards further but that was a fantastic

Shot Dave OB good strike but that kind of comes down to you know cost management should I really be taking a driver on here well very true which is we’re going to do a video on that very shortly but obviously the Adams hybrid has done its job and it has done its job

On many a whole today here at woolly Park is anyone still using Adams has anyone got any of the new Adams stuff obviously a very popular brand back in the day used to be on tour you don’t see it as much now what’s his name in with

Lovely Fred Couples he used to use them is Fred Couples yeah lovely sweet there was a few tour players as we’ll put on screen now who did use these clubs would you be looking at this brand that’s a fantastic shot Dave Tower in pitching wedge straight to pin High the

Pressure’s on now again not a long walk for a change to my go ball a fantastic shot there from Dave so obviously you’ve got to think about when you for me Adams I don’t really think I all wedges comment below if you’ve had those but I think Woods I think hybrids and it’s

Thinking about where they would fit in your golf pack again pricewise especially now they’re certainly obviously a bit more affordable than some of the obviously bigger Brands that’s social Dave I think that’s next to you I think it’s better wether me I didn’t go for the flag there

Clearly but you got to think there obviously these are more affordable hybrids and woods potentially they could be more in your budget so is that something that you would look for or would you go away from Adams just because you don’t know if it’s the same company that’s brought them back so as

You can see from the website here they do sell full set so they do sell obviously driver Woods irons wedges and Putters at the moment and they also sell the clubs individuals so you look at pricing wise again like a hybrid there $200 which is obviously considerably cheaper than current hybrids out there

Again they’ve kept with the Adams idea there’s also been some obviously other clubs come out from other manufacturers that have been very similar looking to the previous generations of Adams and again Concepts in there the clubs did perform the Fairway was that I had certainly did perform really well and

Helped me shoot lower scores so is it worth it when they’re a little bit more affordable you know the name’s a Big Brand you know the back is it something that you would have a look for again there’s a lot of clubs out there a lot of Manufacturers now straight to

Consumer to consider an Adams like the back so Dave has got hybrids in his set so we’re going to hit them on the next te and just show you obviously does he get a better feel does he get a different feel obviously the 11 hybrids are working out again an affordable

Price but Dave’s hit his to around about 28 ft I believe he’s just counting he’s got me down there at 27 so OB thought more like 35 mine’s obviously closer but Dave’s got some new irons so Dave is very happy with his new clubs obviously

He’s got some new clubs he got some new shafts so obviously if you’re looking for clubs at the moment even if he was going for some Adams clubs you need to make sure that you getting the right shaft that’s going to help you up optimize your shots this year how many

People I do see lose shots because the clubs aren’t fitted correctly they haven’t got the right shafts is a is a lot more than you would expect everybody thinks they’ve got the right clubs Dave one club that he might have a look at is this putter it’s not the putter it’s the

The G’s putting it is correct he’s not got his Pace yet today but we’ll let Dave take his time and finish off obviously Adams wise Dave if you was buying some clubs and you needed some and we know you’ve got the 11 hybrids but if you was looking you’ve hit this

Fantastically well but would you obviously look at buying one of these yeah I would it’s and I mean I obviously I’ve not tried any of the new ones no but this is like 11 12 year old and it’s and it was 44 was it I think from golf

Clubs for cash so it was yeah again Dave wasn’t fitted for this so it’s very hard to say obviously he’s swinging it well today he’s hitting it well the shaft seems to suit his swing now ball Striker Chris well some would say that but that could just be because obviously we’ve

Picked up a good club we’ve picked up something that matches him up but performance- wise doesn’t lie just like that putt give it a chance before we have a few more hits with this hybrid oh he’s not up what a shame but it’s a good half there but let’s get on

To the next te guys let’s test it against Dave’s 11 irons or 11 Woods because for me obviously Adams is a brand that I do think is quite expensive is quite premium so how does it stand up when the price is a little bit more right so again very unique design with

Adams so they did have a lot of slots on them again on the bottom through so is this to obviously get a little bit faster ball speed off the face we know that obviously this V4 is a 2013 Club so you know over 10 years old now still has

Quite a bit of technology and it has been performing Dave’s got his 11 out which again we know comes as a set or in Dave’s case he has got six to four iron in the hybrids just to help him get that a little bit more launched but it’ be

Very interesting here to see how they compare together not just for sound for feel obviously for looks very Sleek looking are the 11 clubs KBS shafts and a great flat exactly what we expect to see there fading back nicely that should work around again we’ll swap straight over into the Adams so again

Dave switch over now but you can see from the top of the 11 nice and Sleek there so more of a gloss finish not too much to that again affordable these are exactly why Dave has bought them premium shafts in there but now for the Adams again a little bit lower launch on

That but straight away there a good B one so a Miss hit there it but it still worked there’s some forgiveness there didn’t there that’s probably the worst shot you’ve hit but it’s just crept on the green around the Bonker and has probably gone closer so very interesting

There for a club that is obviously a decade old still plenty of forgiveness so again that brings us to the thing where obviously we know with Adams it was in my eyes a premium brand the technology was good and obviously right away there a decade old but a lot of

Forgiveness yeah much like yourself Chris you know few years on it but you’re still doing all right yeah ticking over Dave still ticking over so guys we can see that we have avoided that revetted face bunk here on the 16th at w and again it is short obviously

Probably 10 15 yard short but from a Mis strike exactly what you’re going to expect he still got that forgiveness but we can see obviously the 11 hybrid which Dave is going to give a put now has got up there so pin High exactly what he expects on the tin from

If I’m honest it’s a tough put from here both wouldn’t be expected or both would be very good tool puts to be honest but from that distance it would be obviously exactly what you expect from an everyday golfer so the greens have being rolled since we

Was last out here so plenty of work left with that but dve will put his other one up now obviously we’ll put up Golf Course by the way here at woly Park in fantastic condition at the moment green nicely rolled as you can see a good Pace to them

But hybrids doing their jobs but interesting obviously a secondhand hybrid there if you’re in the secondhand Market coming in at a great price 43 you’ve just got to make sure that you do get the right shaft in there the flex and the weight are crucial and it looks

Like we’ve done that with this club we’re now with Dave’s Other clubs he has been fitted or bought the ones his thought put in today has not been his strong point no was shocking I end the toe ended up hitting the floor and oh stroke’s terrible it’s just I

Don’t know who’s taught me it looks like we’re going to have a putting lesson on the channel very shortly guys because the season is upon us very soon couple of weeks with this put in display the hand the handicap might be going in the wrong direction Dave I hope

Not solid save there so nicely two puted giving himself some work this one might be an issue for two puts I have to say t average wouldn’t be on your side again new Flags here at woly ready for the season you made up with these new

Flags aren’t you I am cuz I was in the uh oh you I was there when they had the uh three-hour discussion of what to go for I was the one who suggested half and half oh got the fans going I I knew there must be a reason why you kept

Going on about it it’s a good Pace went for it positive right Dave what you like for a three put yeah I’ll see this in I thought you’d stolen my ball then no Dave those golf balls that you’ve taken out of my bag I don’t

Think I did you don’t put a line on your ball I think I found this you always have a line on your golf ball to help you with the alignment I think I found this at Gord Hest good there we go so guys have you thought about getting Adams clubs have

You noticed that it’s come back have you missed it have you been somebody who’s used Adams clubs in a previous generation many many years ago just like myself just like my granddad and plenty of tour players over the years a massive brand that are going to make a comeback

Obviously what kind of golfer level entry are they trying to go for so far for me it’s people getting into golf but it all depends on your budget the previous Adam stuff was fantastic if they can go obviously and get clubs that are performing just as good as this V4

Hybrid then it’s something certainly for you to look out for because Dave might be spending £44

  1. I have one of the last Adam's drivers before Taylor made bought them and gutted them. Still have my F 10 and F 11 drivers and Tight Lies fairway woods😊

  2. Chris, what is Dave's average swing speed and which shafts is he using on the Eleven clubs? I have them, love them, but struggle to hit'em!

  3. Mate ( as you say ) you have got to get a set of Adam's idea cb2 black forged irons ….or any of the forged irons really …..the hybrids are legendary but I bought a slightly used set of Adam's idea cb2s black forged irons almost 10 years ago ….had stock kbs tour 90s in them and it was the first and best iron I had ever put in my bag …..I literally wore the grooves off them and they got hard to play if the grass got wet ….or at least 7 threw gap wedge did ….and I still own them ….and would still have them in the bag ….if they weren't wore so badly ……I own mizuno mp5s …..ping s55s ….and the ping i 230 ….and the Adam's idea cb2 forged black irons are by far my favorite of all ….and that's saying something the mp series from mizuno and the s 55 pings are amazing clubs ….and the i230s are some great kit as well ….( only had them a month ) so can't give them the status of the others …..but you are missing out if you don't find a set of Adam's forged irons and give them a go ….for real they are that good

  4. Got an old Tight lies 9 wood somewhere, which I bought way before higher lofted hybrids became available?

  5. I have an Adams driver, tight lies 4 wood and a strong 7 wood, from the early 2000's I think. Still using the 7 wood though considering a replacement.

  6. I played the Adams Idea Tech V3 forged for 12 years ( just got a full fitted bag go PXG 0211 for my retirement present to myself ) and one of the best sets I ever had in my 49 years of playing golf !!
    Had the 3h,4h,5h,6h, 7-GW , also had the newer Adams tight lies sweet 16 4 wood in the bag too !!!

  7. Just bought a 2022 Wilson Launch Pad 2 Fybrid and love it. A couple years old, still has great technology and great performance. After 2 years you can find them in relatively good condition at a great price.

  8. Tom Watson at 59 almost won the 2009 open championship playing Adams. I had a tight lies 3wood, and hit the longest fairway wood I've ever hit.

  9. Around 12 years ago I was fitted for Adams Redline combo set – 4 hybrid 5 iron to PW. Game improvement clubs but very good.

  10. Dave maybe does not know but he as given me an online lesson? the practice swing he does works fine for me thanks Dave.

  11. I have a couple of Adams fairway woods. 16 and 19 degree. Second hand from Golf Factory in North Tyneside. Work fine for me. If my game improves and I can justify it I’ll probably look at Ping 430 gear in a couple of years time.

  12. I bought a matched set of 3 Adams Tom Watson wedges about 10 years ago for £70 new, decent wedges – is golf more expensive now? 😮

  13. I have the DTC Adams Tight lies that came out in 2020. I have and currently use the Adams 5 wood and 4 and 5 hybrids. Great clubs. I've tried the new Adams Idea Woods and Hybrids that are at my local PGA Superstore. They hit a little bit better than my current ones. Easy to launch, which I needed. Only reason I hadn't made the switch to the new ones. Are because my current ones work great.
    Keep up the great work, Cheers!

  14. The Adams Tight Lies were brilliant, as an Asst Pro in the late 90’s I sold a few by hitting them off the concrete slabs at the back of Lincoln GC pro shop just to prove you could get them in the air from anywhere.. my digger swing wouldn’t cope with that nowadays.. 😂😂

  15. TM ruined Adams and only bought them to avoid being sued due to copyright infringement, i seem to remember. They made some of the very best irons out there and their hybrids were legendry. Its such a shame they lost their identity.
