Last summer I got me an Adams Black Super Hybrid in 19* with the factory VooDoo stiff shaft. With a decent swing off a short tee, I can carry it 200 yards with a slight draw and it will run if it hits a fast fairway. I can hit it off a tight fairway lie and out of light rough. These shots go mostly straight unless I really pull it. It took me a few rounds to dial it in and I thought that the shaft might have been too stiff but it is just right if I don't baby it.
I have tried numerous 3, 4 and 5 woods over the past few years and I still have about 20 of them lying around with some of them just heads. With this Adams, I am no longer interested in anything else. I paid $29 for it at Golfsmith in the used rack and it didn't look like it had ever been hit. A 2011 model, it was only made that one year. The head is slightly large and sort of like a very compact fairway wood.
With the new (used) Ping G15 driver I got this past winter, I can do around 230-250 off the tee and, with a 200 yard hybrid second, have a short iron to gap wedge for the third shot on almost all the par 5's we play.
