Adams Launch Long Hitting Idea Tech V4 Hybrids and Irons
Published: Last updated:
Adams Golf, one of the breakthrough companies from the last three years, has taken another leap forward in producing high-performance, easy-to-hit clubs with the introduction of the Idea Tech V4 hybrids and irons.
The stand-out feature is the revolutionary Cut-Thru design, which designers claim offers an increase in CT levels of up to 67% when compared to the Idea Tech V3 hybrids.
CT levels are used to measure the speed that golf balls leave the club face at impact, and Adams reckon their new hybrids match the same levels normally found on drivers.
“With refined Velocity Slots, we were able to produce a CT around 240,” said Justin Girard, Senior Design Engineer. “This is something the industry hasn’t seen in a standard stainless steel hybrid. The increased CT is going to deliver a higher launch angle and higher ball speeds. Golfers will quickly notice that these hybrids are as hot as their driver.”
In addition to the hotness of the face, the Idea Tech V4 uses a multi-material construction featuring tungsten heel/toe perimeter weighting in the long irons that provides optimal CG location for increased forgiveness and a higher launch.
The new line also has Velocity Slots in the crown and sole of the club, and features a channel that is literally cut through the head of the club from the top slot to the bottom, allowing for even more face deflection.
It was important to seal the slots in order to be compliant with USGA regulations, so the Idea Tech V4 hybrids feature a TPU insert that also improves the feel and gives the hybrids a very crisp sound similar to that of an iron.
Away from the new technology, the Tech V4 come in two distinct sets; a forged iron set for better players looking to add distance and an all-hybrid set for the higher handicap golfer who is looking to launch the ball higher and hit it further.
The forged set features a 3H, 4H, 5H and 6-iron through to PW, made from forged 8620 carbon steel with nickel plating. The all-hybrid set is 4H through PW. Both sets feature a premium PVD finish for a non-glare, sleek look.
