I currently have an antiquated set of 845s and can't seem to get out of my head the fact that I can't hit the 3 and 4 if my life depended on it. Generally my 3 goes about 150y-170y and on a solid hit, 200y.

So one day i have some spare time and I head on over to the local Golf Galaxy. I see a used A3 5W and decide to take it to the simulator. I proceed to hit what would be a pretty common thin shot that goes about 170. Ok. Let's move it back a hair and see what happens. I tell myself, "Take and easier swing".......KABLAAM!!! It flew 220 yards and rolled to 241. I hit it off the mat, same thing to 237. Serious? I asked if the simulator was juiced and he said no. Generally a little shorter. I trusted him and bought the club. I ended up buying the 3W a week later and took both to the range. It was accurate. I couldn't believe it. Although I couldn't hit the 3 wood as well.

I found the hybrid 3i went on sale a couple days ago and decided to go back in and test it out. No one is going to believe what happened. I freaking clubbed the ball 249 yards on the simulator!!!! Today was the first day I played it on course. First hole I used it on was a tight par 4 - 358. I hit a nice draw that rolled into the left rough 125 yards out!!! It didn't even look that long. Next chance, out of the rough on a par 5....not a great idea....shallow hook - 150y. I suck out of the rough anyway. So I write it off. Next hole, short 313 yard par 4 with a pond in front of the green. I had no idea how far out the pond was. After walking up to it, I found out it was 253 yards from the tee because my Srixon Trispeed (highly recommended as well) was sitting 3 yards from going into the pond....in the rough!!! 3 other times, all the same.

It is like a freak of nature club! It has to be illegal. I don't even have a club between it and my 4 iron right now. I seriously HAVE TO purchase, at least the Hy4i and hy5i and probably the whole set. If the rest of the set hits as easy, straight AND LONG as the hybrid 3 does, I WILL improve my game by at least 10-15 strokes....probably more, taking me easily into the 70's.

So far, if you couldn't tell, I highly recommend the hybrid 3. There is a reason this set of irons was Golf Digest's Gold winner and I plan to find out and i think anyone looking to improve their game should at least check them out as well.

For comparison:

The 3 and 4 are a little easier to hit and *might* be a little longer. The 5 and 6 are MUCH improved over the A2s IMHO. I just couldn't hit the 5,6 of the A2s well. I had actually replaced them with Nike hybrids. The A3 5,6 feel more like they belong in the set and I'm hitting them much better than the A2s. The A3 7 also feels better for me. I was hitting a 150 yard fade with the A2s and seem to be straighter and 5-10 yards longer with the A3 7 iron. The 8,9,PW feel very similar to the A2s but may be a touch longer. As an example, my A2 PW was good for 100-110 and the A3 seems good for 105-115. I know that's a big range, but I'm still working on control (thus the A3s!)

Overall, I think I made the right move and am looking forward to playing with these clubs for a long time.

I'm hitting all my shots better -- much straighter, and 5 to 10 yards farther than with my Adams GT irons. I can tell when I would have hit a thin shot or weak off the toe, yet the ball still goes about 90% of the distance.

Golf is a lot more fun when you are hitting the greens and scoring lower.

I have the Adams a3OS irons and highly recommend them.

After some neck surgery, I switched to a combo set of Adams A2/A3 hybrids (4, 5, 6) and Big Bertha irons (7,8,pw,gw,sw).
The combination of hybrids and forgiving irons put my game back to where it used to be, even without the practice time of college days.

I was worried for a while that the clubs I was using were for high handicappers, and that a low handicapper needed blades. However, I was confused because every time I went out I could really hit the hybrids and kept pushing and hooking the blades.

Then I read in Golf Digest that the shot dispersion of game improvement clubs by low handicappers was significantly better using game improvement clubs than blades. No more worries. I now had some alternative proof that indeed these clubs work better for everybody. Throw away your "irons" that let you work the ball. Get these Adams, and you will be happy.

I'm back in the fairway (long & straight).

I have been swinging the a3 boxer 2-iron for the past month, & can't believe the difference in my score. I leave the driver in the car, & play the 2-iron as much as possible (even with a 1/2 swing when necessary). I was going to go buy the full set, but rumor has it that I have to wait until Christmas. The wife is trying to surprise me.
Oh well, it should be worth the wait.

Got the clubs eary & love em'. They are the most consistent clubs that i have ever hit.
Cut the handicap from a 22 to a 15 so far.
