Adams DHY Hybrid

[aiyyer]

I am trying out the 3 and 4 hybrids this season. Anybody still using them this year?

I just picked up the 3 dhy this weekend at the Philly golf show. But since it's currently 8* with snow on the ground in central PA, I have not gotten to give it a whirl. I too would be interested in hearing if others are still using these and what their feedback is.

They are awesome. Love my 21*

I had the same one with a c taper shaft last year but have gone to graphite to fill the gap a little better this year. I'm also in central pa and it doesn't look good for golf anytime soon

[SetTheBarrHigh]

I've had a 24° in the bag for about a year now, it's a great long iron replacement.

No.....no it doesn't.

I have a 21 with a proto UST shaft. Hate it. Every time I think it can be a 3-iron, it gives me infamous results. Ok off tee, unhittable off fairway for me.

Might make it my fireplace poker.

[jgripp81]

I got a 16* 21* and 27* (needs a shaft). Don't plan on ditching these anytime soon. Haven't had a chance to hit the 16* yet. Threw a hm3 105 in it for days when it's windy or if the course is dry to hit 200 yard stingers that will run out 50 more yards.

Go ahead and ship it to me, for $10 I can probably find a use for it.

I've got the 24...I also have a 712U in the same loft so it'll be a showdown once the temps get above 45. I'm hoping the DHY wins but we'll see! If not then I may look for a pro mini.

[Joshzilla]

I just got a 21* and 24* and I'm totally in love with them. At first I felt strange not having a 3 & 4 iron in the bag, but then I hit these things and I don't miss the irons at all.

I have a 19 degree DHY that I really liked as a long iron replacement. It wasn't that great for digging balls out of the rough though. I swtiched to a Callaway Hot2 Pro because it handles the deeper rough better.

[venturagolfer87]

Absolutely love my 21*. Has a PX HD2 6.0 shaft, and has been very consistent for me off the tee. I don't hit it as much off the deck, maybe as a layup club on some looong par 5's, but it's not bad from there. It's currently my favorite club to hit.

[teamxtremekid87]

I played a 21* all last season. Great 3 iron / hybrid replacement. Loved it off the tee. Going to test it against a normal hybrid next year for holding more greens on approaches. It fit the gap I was looking for but I was inconsistent launching it high enough to stop on greens from the deck.

[aiyyer]

Thanks for the replies. I did use the 21 last year and loved it - just got the 24 to replace my 4 iron. With the snow, no avenue to try anything out. I love the fact that these require "iron swings" and only need one swing before transitioning to my tee clubs - 17 Hybrid or 4 wood and Driver.
I asked the question because I don't see anybody else on the courses I play using them and for the price that they sell for on Ebay, they are a ridiculous steal.

[Stephens24]

How's the "stinger" with these? I have a couple short narrow par 4s that I'm guessing something to pierce down the fairway about 225 would be perfect.

Wish I was good enough to hit the stinger consistently but works great when I pull it off. Unlike what others have stated, I can get the ball pretty high and with a shallow swing.

[Mr.Mizzy]

Yeah, I also have no problem hitting it high enough to hold greens, and off the tee I never hit a stinger but it is very easy to control trajectory.

[urbanskee]

I have an 18 w/ White Tie... Really love this club. It's the only hybrid I'll carry. I just don't care for hybrids.

I can flight it down to 180 or up to 225ish. Great off the tee, fwy, or tight lies. Also find it forgiving, but still workable left and right.

Not really a club for the second cut of rough, though. It's not a rescue hybrid.

I plan on picking up another head and trying a steel shaft.

Definitely worth a try if you like long irons and are looking to fill a gap between a 4 or 5 iron and a 4 or 5 wood -- and have an aversion to hook faced hybrids.

Not too expensive either, seem to be out there around $100ish.

Good luck!

This is just priceless, I don't care what planet your from...

That's the thing with these, they either fit or they don't. Very polarizing clubs. I can tell you for certain; if you don't get along well with long irons, you're probably not going to enjoy these very much. Try it before you buy it!

[scramble472]

I have the Pro Dhy 18*. I have gamed the Dhy 21* in the past also. They are amazing sticks. They allow me to hit down like a true iron with the benefits of being a hybrid. I am a low ball hitter by nature but have no problem getting these higher in the air. I recommend these to all the high school kids I coach.

[pjonesgolfer]

better off the tee than off the deck in my experience

[duck]

I gamed the 21 dhy last season . Great club off the tee . I struggle with from the deck . BackTo My 20 PRO Gold hybrid

I tried a 19* last season for just such occasions, and found that I couldn't hit it the way I wanted to, and had trouble keeping it down. I've swapped over to a Rapture DI at 18*, and I find that I can hit that low 180-190 yarder with another 30 yards of roll that I'm looking for. I like the rapture off the tee a little better too.

[Supermangolf]

I have the 19* with a 100g VTS Black shaft in it and It swaps in and out of my bag. I only really use it off the tee unless I am going for a par five in two and I can roll it up there a little bit. Off the tee, I can hit it high if I need to but I almost exclusively stick to the stinger and this thing kills the ball. I play a little 5 yard draw with it carrying 215 and running out a ton.

Highly recommend if you are comfortable hitting down on hybrids not sweeping.

I recently put the 18* Adams Pro DHy in the bag in place of the 5 wood. Hated it, S shaft not stiff enough. Had it tipped half an inch, love it now as tipping made the shaft play stiffer. Best of tee & tight lies, won't try it out of the semi. Got to hit down on it like a long iron. Best club to keep under the wind off tee or fairway. Feel for you guys that can't play because of the weather. Where I hail from (George, home of Fancourt where presidents cup was played a few years back, South Africa) we play golf all year long. Winters between 65 & 80, summers between 70 & 85

[alittleoverpar]

I really wanted to love the DHY and tried them several times in different lofts. I'm a pretty good long iron player so I thought they would be perfect. The 9031 Proto just worked better for me.

[matchavez]

Just sold mine. Apparently there's a great market for them.

[llamont]

I have the DHY hybrids in 21* and 24* with the stock white Matrix Ozik shaft in regular flex. It took a few range sessions and about 2 rounds for me to get a feeling for them. At first test, I felt that the heads represented the oil to my swing's water. HOWEVER, after a bit of practice, both clubs are solid backups to my Cleveland Classic hybrids (which are much more forgiving IMHO).

[kamizzou91]

I picked up a 21 degree a few weeks ago. I am going to put in head-to-head with another recent purchase - 2015 Tight Lies 17 degree - and see how it goes once the weather warms a bit. I foresee it mostly being a gapping/specialty club for me, but we'll see. I am looking for some consistency in my hybrid game, which I haven't had for a few seasons.
