The manufacturer’s new hybrid iron set is designed for players with slower swing tempos.
Adams Golf has developed an Idea Tech Hybrid Iron set for golfers with slower swing speeds (85 mph and lower) who want to hit the ball high and get more distance than they do from traditional irons.
“From the highest lofted iron to the lowest lofted hybrid, each club is intended to enhance enjoyment of the game,” said Michael Fox, director of product category management for Adams. “This set was specifically made for the golfer who doesn’t generate a lot of speed but wants to experience the thrill of hitting high and straight launching golf shots. The engineering of this set makes this type of performance attainable for golfers with slower swing speeds.”
By adding an external 24-gram weight to the back of the hybrids (3-5), engineers were able to position the center of gravity lower and further back than any previous Adams hybrid. With the Idea Tech Hybrid Irons (6-PW), an enhanced wrap-around slot from the toe to the sole of the club and into the crown was added to expand the sweet spot for better performance on off-center strikes. In addition, a refined barbell-shaped slot on the crown reduces stress on the face while delivering enhanced ball speeds upon impact.
The set also features a progressive shaft design, with tip diameters getting thinner toward the lower end of the set. The technology, which comes in graphite and steel shafts, makes it easier to generate speed and launch on the downswing.
