Adams A7os Hybrid opinions

[simonk83]

Hi all

Anyone got any opinions on the Adams A7os hybrid? I’m a high handicapper and am looking to get something to replace my 4 iron for the time being. I’ve heard good things about Adams hybrids in general, and the OS’s are apparently more forgiving for the high handicapper like myself

Managed to get in on that ebay promotion today so I’ll get $50 off the club when I buy it on Friday. Planning on getting it from timtheputterman.

Interested in your thoughts

Love mine. 19 degree. Easy to hit, straight, nice ball flight. On Monday I hit to within 6 feet of the pin from 195. Confident when I swing this club.

I would try to demo it first. I bought an iron set that had three a30S hybrids and I just didn't care for them. They are quality hybrids, but didn't work for me.

I'd love to, but the problem is I need to buy it in a 1 hour window tomorrow to qualify for this promotion. I live in Melbourne Australia, and as far as I'm aware we don't have any of those fancy VR machine things that plot your trajectory on a screen after you hit the ball. All the shops I've been in just have nets set up, which doesn't really help me a great deal as I can't tell if the ball is slicing, or travelling straight etc. I might just have to take a punt and sell it on if it's no good for me.

Yea, that makes it tough. I will say this. The a30S set up more like an iron for (even though they have a big back-end) and I prefer more of a fairway wood styled hybrid.

Right, ok. See I'm a relative beginner and haven't actually hit a hybrid before, so I'm really just looking for a more forgiving 4 iron alternative. From all accounts the A7's are pretty forgiving (the OS's even more so), so I guess it's possible the tech has changed fairly drastically between the A3's and A7's. Alternatively I might have the same issue as you when it arrives

I was able to hit it ok, it just didn't suit my eye. Hopefully it works well for you. Adams makes great hybrids. There is no debating that

Cool, thanks for the thoughts guys, very helpful I haven't really seen much talk of the OS versions of these clubs in forums. Most just seem to have the straight A7 version (obviously more confident in their abilities than I am )
