ADGO News Introducing Idea Tech OS: Adams Golf's Most Forgiving Game-Improvement Set Ever
PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Adams Golf (OTCBB:ADGO) introduces Idea Tech OS Hybrid Irons, an
easy-to-hit, premium hybrid iron set that stretches the limits of
technology and forgiveness. Built upon the heritage of the very
successful Idea Hybrid Irons, Idea Tech OS integrates adjustable weight
ports, titanium, composite and tungsten weighting into a cutting-edge
set of four hybrids and four irons.
“As the leader in hybrid iron sets, Adams Golf
is always challenged to find new ways of creating golf clubs that can
help golfers improve their game all while making it more enjoyable to
play,” said Chip Brewer, Adams Golf CEO. “We’re
confident that Idea Tech OS is the most premium, technologically
advanced and player-friendly set of hybrid irons that we’ve
ever created.”
By combining its industry leading knowledge of hybrid iron set design
with new multi-material technology, Adams Golf engineers created the
company’s most forgiving iron set ever. Idea
Tech OS delivers 11% higher MOI compared to the four top-selling, game
improvement irons on the market. The CG is also located 20% lower. This
combination of high MOI and low CG translates into a high and long ball
flight while maintaining consistent club-to-club yardage gapping.
“During the three years of development, we
analyzed the combined effect of titanium faces, carbon crowns and sole
weights on ball flight and forgiveness,”
stated Tim Reed, Adams Golf Vice President of Research and Development. “The
result is a hybrid iron set with the highest MOI and lowest CG (center
of gravity) in its class.”
Idea Tech OS Features
3 & 4 Hybrid iWoods
The most forgiving hybrids ever produced by Adams Golf are constructed
with a composite crown to achieve a low center of gravity (CG) for a
higher launch. A heel-biased adjustable weight port in the sole allows
for swing weight and custom fitting options. Increased ball speed and
greater distance is possible due to the titanium face in these hybrids.
5 & 6 Hybrids
These hybrids transition the launch conditions between the iWoods and
the short irons to achieve consistent yardage gapping. The hollow design
and composite back allow for maximum MOI and forgiveness. Like the
iWoods, an adjustable weight port is positioned near the heel for swing
weight and custom fitting options. The mid-iron hybrids are also
constructed with a titanium face for more distance through higher ball
speed at impact.
TriTech™ Short Irons
A titanium face promotes a higher ball speed and greater distance. The
tungsten weight positioned in the sole achieves low CG (center of
gravity) allowing for a high launch angle. The Vibration Dampening
System, consisting of a multi-piece thermoplastic urethane insert in the
cavity, enhances the feel and sound. The short-iron chassis is crafted
with 431 stainless steel.
The Idea Tech OS hybrid irons are available in Men’s,
Senior’s and Women’s.
Right Hand and Left Hand sets are available. The Idea Tech OS Hybrid
Irons will be available at golf shops and retail stores Dec. 1, 2006.
