I am a 7 Handicapper and can assure anyone looking to replace the longer irons these are a great option to look at. I have always hit my long irons well but with dryer conditions here in Dubai it became evident i needed something that went on a higher plane, without losing distance. These clubs are perfect for that job. Very predictable in distance which is important. I think the shaft has a huge part to play in the overall feel as i have these in my Nickent 3DX Pro 3 & 5 Fairways. I find the shaft doesn't lag behind the head which allows you to hit harder with confidence. If you want to get the best results from these clubs set up left of centre and hit down on the ball. The head cover's are excellent probably the best Hybrid covers you will ever see for practicality. Conclusion Go and buy them even the 5-26* your friends won't be laughing when you carding 70 something's like me! Hope this review helps. The Curry 66 " your only the loser when you stop trying" :eek: Hi All,

I headed over to edwin watts and hit the 1 and 3 hybrid and must say WOW/. i orderd both of them with the vs "by you" x shaft, and cant wait to play with them in a week. great looks, efortless distance and straight.

I got the 3h 20 degree Aldila's VS Proto 'By You' stiff. At first I thought it might replace my 3 iron but after hitting it, it was as long as my 5 wood and much more accurate. Great review Jeff!!

Stiff flex, cut the five iron down 1/2 inch, strengthened the loft 1 degree on all irons to fix ball flight. Standard lie works for me. Staight, longish, nice ball flight, with stop and drop with a bit of spin ball action, very forgiving. Clubs make you swing correct, but off center shots you'll feel both in hands and distance. Not tooo bad on both, and could be much worse, but you should expect it since it iis more of a players club. Hybrids, 3,4, and 5, I could not play. Ball flight was a initially right then peeled off right. Used ball tape along with ware marks which indicated center face contact with straight on contact. My Nike driver was same way, same blue shaft. Couldn't close it. Traded it in for another shaft combo and blame. Feel, direction and distance all improved. So blame, two months and enough suffering with the idea hybrids with the idea I could make them work, I traded the hybs for the Adams a3 boxers with stiff shafts. Blame!! Problem solved, but a3 has higher ball flight but it is much straighter, about as long and definitely much more forgiving. New shafts with the a3s are great. Highly recommend at this time of this review. I feel confident they will continue to perform. Make sure to hit the crud out of the clubs before the return policy ends. If they don't work for you take them back. No guilt, its your money:cool: Have had the idea pro irons and hybrids for about six plus months.

After adding the 2h to my set I immediately went out and added the 3h as well. Just too easy to hit to leave them out of the 14 club limit. Just to add a PS.

At age 55 I grew up playing golf with the 5W and/or 2i in the bag. As a matter of fact a full set of irons included the 2-PW. So, I have been slow to change. With a 5 handicap I am wanting to work on getting that number down and so I added the Adams Idea Pro 18* 2H in my bag. With only one round I replaced my 5W and have found this club and shaft combo one of the best I have tried. The 18* hybrid will be so much more versitle than the 5W. An easy club to hit. Your review was the catalyst to get me to try it. Thanks. :lol: An excellent review. At age 55 I grew up playing golf with the 5W and/or 2i in the bag.
