Tungsten weights in the heel and toe enhance perimeter weighting in the Adams Idea Tech V3, which should result in excellent forgiveness, while a V-shaped sole and heel recess reduces turf drag.

This is no exception to the penetrating flight that Adam's hybrids usually offer. But, the Adams Idea Tech V3 won't offer the added assistance game improvers are looking for.
