Adams had speed slots in their woods before TaylorMade did. TaylorMade decided it would be cheaper to just buy out Adams instead of paying them for every driver/wood/hybrid they would sell in the future.

@@redhed9776lol Adams wasn’t a dying company at the time. Quite the alternative really. They were growing, Taylormade really weren’t. Except for their Drivers, Taylormade was pretty far out of the game in terms of irons, wedges and putters (sure pros still played them but they weren’t near what Titliest, Callaway, Cleveland and Ping were at the time. That single deal is honestly probably what saved Taylormade in terms of R&D for the next 10years which helped them out drastically especially when Nike dropped off and they managed to snag both Rory and Tiger to push the brand to the top. Now they make everything great. Similar to Titliest.

Through the years I’ve gotten way better and upgraded all my clubs, including replacing my Adams A7os hybrid set. Which were really great for a long time btw, and are now my backups/my dads set. HOWEVER, the 4 hybrid with the Graffaloy Blue Prolaunch axis is still the easiest and softest feeling hybrid I’ve ever owned. I’m so confident with it that it may never leave my bag. I’ll also say those adams clubs were built very well. Minus cosmetics for wear, they still perform just as well.
