Adams

Why we like it

The name might sound like a throwback, the slot in the sole may look familiar, and the inverted pyramid shape might even evoke the old Adams, but trust us when we say that this is an all-new take on the company’s original cult favourite fairway wood. Among the new features are a carbon-composite crown. Less weight helps lower the centre of gravity and provides more perimeter weighting. There’s also a six-gram weight screw in the heel side of the sole to counter a slice. The heel and toe sides of the sole are angled up to provide more relief for smoother turf interaction.

Idea

• These shallow-faced designs feature a slot in the sole to improve the way the face flexes for more ball speed.
• A heel-side weight screw in the sole provides additional draw bias.
• 15, 18, 21 degrees (with a fixed hosel).
