Women often complain -- with good cause -- about the lack of options available to them when they go out shopping for golf clubs. Most brands only offer one stock set for women, and there isn't much flexibility when it comes to the all-important style of the gear. Adams Golf saw an opportunity in this void, and a few years ago started offering its flagship women's model in two shaft lengths as well as in a smorgasboard of colors and designs.
The new Idea a12OS set for women comes in two set make-ups: You can buy it in either 12 clubs (driver, 3-wood, 5-wood, 7-wood, 5-hybrid, 6-hybrid, 7- through 9-iron, pitching wedge, sand wedge and putter) or seven clubs (driver, 5-wood, 5-hybrid, 7-iron, 9-iron, sand wedge and putter). Less experienced players can start with the smaller set, which costs $500 with bag, and then add to the set as they better (the complete set costs $900 with bag). All the clubs in the line are designed with low, deep centers of gravity to help launch the ball higher, and have generous loft gaps to suit a slower-swinging player. The hybrids feature a velocity slot on the crown and sole, designed to create more trampoline effect in the face and add ball speed.
As a fun bonus, the complete set is offered in four different colors (with two more "coming soon"). From left above are the Sapphire, Jade, Onyx and Sandstone models, with designs and colors carrying over from clubs to matching bags. To find a store near you that carries these sets, log on to adamsgolf.com.
