Adams Golf Idea A12 Hybrid Review

TG Hybrid Test 2012

Alan loved the sleek looks and powerful face while pro James said it was a great all-rounder and insisted the slot in the crown wasn’t as noticeable. The feel impressed Peter but David said there were more powerful clubs on test.

Building on their Tour success, Adams Golf have aimed the new a12 hybrid at the mid-handicapper who seeks forgiveness and a higher ball flight – but without the overly large and off-putting clubhead. It features Adams’ patent-pending velocity slot in the sole and the crown, which is designed to increase ball speeds across more of the face, bringing them closer to the legal limit of a driver.

Adams say compared to their previous Idea a7, the a12 offers a much higher launch angle and increased ball speed without increasing spin – and that is a recipe for more distance.

The a12 comes in 17°, 19°, 22° and 25° lofts and boasts UST’s ProForce VTS Silver hybrid shaft.
