Adams Pro Mini Hybrid & Callaway X2 Hot Pro Hybrid Review

Adams Pro Mini Hybrid

New Features:

1. Most Notable Feature:

The slot technology that Adams has right behind the club face really causes the ball to fly off the face. This slot gives the head a weird look but after a few swings you rarely even notice it. Not only does the ball jump off this face, but it is extremely workable. The ball flight might be a little lower than most hybrids, but for average and high ball hitters, that won’t be an issue.

2. Most Important Feature:

The most important feature of this club has got to be its versatility. Most people like to hit hybrids out of the rough or to replace a longer iron, but this club is also great off the tee. With its piercing ball flight and lower spin rate, this club seems to act as a great driving iron as well. A hybrid/driving iron sounds like the perfect club to me!

Opinion:

I am a huge fan of this club! The ball flies off of the face on both solid shots and mishits. The ball does go slightly shorter on the mishits, of course, but there is a ton of room for error. A hot face combined with the piercing ball flight, makes this club a must-have in someones bag who likes to play in the wind or looking for a multi-purpose hybrid.

Callaway X2 Hot Pro Hybrid

New Features:

1. Most Notable Feature:

The new hyper speed face cup, behind the face of the club, helps generate much faster ball speeds. The higher ball speeds helps you get much more distance than many other hybrids on the market. This face cup combined with the forged hot face, means you will be bombing the ball off the fairway or out of the rough.

2. Most Important Feature:

The most important feature of this hybrid has to be the forgiving face while maintaining the pro style head. Compared to the Adams, this club is even more forgiving with a much higher ball flight. It is slightly less workable, but the distance is notable on both center and mishits. It might not have the same workability but the distance gained cannot be ignored.

Opinion:

If you are looking for distance and a higher ball flight, this club is the club for you. You think you are going to replace your 4-iron, but in reality you are replacing your 3-iron. So, if you are thinking about getting this club I recommend going and getting fitted because you really need to know which club you are replacing. This is a club that bombs, flies high, and lands soft, which is exactly what Callaway says it is.

Recommendation:

My recommendation has to be the Adams Pro Mini! Its’ multi-functionality is what I am looking for, but if you are looking for a more forgiving club you may want to choose the Callaway. The head has a driving iron look with a hybrid feel, what is better than that? Another reason I seem to be drawn to this club is the great workability. Being able to work the ball around the course is key for me. From the low draw to the high fade, any shot is possible with this club and that is exactly what I want.
