Adams Golf Iron Reviews

By Lyle@Nymble

Specs

The Idea Pro irons set from Adams Golf is designed for the better player, but also brings in some of the best in game improvement technology. It is a forged set of forgiving perimeter-weighted irons, but the most distinctive feature in this set is Adams' choice to replace the 3 and 4 irons with the brand's very popular hybrid clubs. The 5-PW club has a slim top line view and fairly narrow soles for cavity-backed clubs that is attractive to highly skilled players, but the perimeter weighting increases the size of the club's sweet spot, aiding forgiveness for off-center hits for the mid to high handicapper. These clubs feature a low center of gravity to help you get the ball airborne and no offset in the hosel.

Perks

A set like the Adams Idea Pro that comes equipped with hybrid clubs offers you the benefit of not having to replace these clubs yourself. Hybrids have revolutionized the golf equipment business in recent years and even the most skilled players opt to trade in some of their long irons for more forgiving, easier to hit, hybrid clubs.

Sacrifices

The Idea Pro does not offer all of the workability of a traditional player's club. The hybrid replacements, while attractive to players who fear long irons, is more of a challenge to low handicap players who consider the long irons a strength of their game. The Idea Pro is perhaps not as much of a player's club as advertised.

Bottom Line

The Adams Idea Pro is a great set of irons for the middle handicapper about 8-15 index and not truly the player's club the company positions it as. That said, it does offer superior forgiveness and a fairly unusual set makeup that includes two hybrid clubs.

Golf Equipment Tip of the Day

Choose the Putter Designed for Your Golf Game
by Staff
If you've ever been humbled after having your stroke analyzed at one of those high-tech putting studios, you know why the adage "feel is not real" is, well, real. After all, when examined under a microscope, all the flaws of your stroke are magnified. Your path goes left, your clubface is open, you hit everything off the toe--the data doesn't lie and sometimes all that bad news is enough to make you want to impale your flat stick into the monitor. What's important to keep in mind, however, is that our strokes demand specific kinds of putters.
