Adams Golf has been an innovator in the blended-iron\/hybrid market for a few years. Their concepts have been ahead of industry trends. <\/p>\n<p>While the general golfing public hasn&#8217;t picked up on the usefulness of such sets I see the wisdom in seamlessly pairing irons and hybrids. The days of your average golfer carrying a 2-iron (or 3-iron, or 4-iron&hellip;) are officially over. It&#8217;s become an anomaly to see a 2-iron in a professional&#8217;s bag. Hybrids hit the ball longer and higher than similarly lofted irons. The biggest draw for the average golfer is that hybrids are much easier to hit than irons.<\/p>\n<p>Adams Golf obviously sees the potential of blended sets for making golf easier for the average player. The Idea a3 Hybrid Irons are intended to fill this nich&eacute;. See how well they do&hellip;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>Design and Technology<\/strong><br \/>\nAdams has created another seamless set of hybrids and irons in their a3 category. &#8220;The progressive flow of the Idea a3 set includes three Boxer&trade; hybrids, two hollow-back mid-irons, and three cavity-back short irons,&#8221; said an Adams press release. They go on to describe the purpose and functionality of each subset of the Idea a3 Hybrid Irons:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The performance, playability and unique look of the Boxer&trade; hybrids set a new standard in the category. No other hybrids have achieved an MOI level of 3350 translating into more distance, accuracy and greater forgiveness. Next are the hollow-back 6 and 7 irons with progressive offset, which transition the launch conditions between the Boxer&trade; hybrids and the short irons for consistent yardage gapping. Rounding out the set are the 8-PW cavity-back short irons, which have been reshaped for maximum forgiveness and playability, yet will still appeal to the better player.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Adams Idea a3 Hybrid Irons are another offering in the blended-iron nich&eacute; which Adams Golf pioneered. As Adams&#8217; press release indicated, each subset (PW-8, 7-6, AND 5-3) is meant to maximize the effectiveness of this iron set.<\/p>\n<p>The 5- through 3-hybrids are designed for maximum forgiveness:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The hybrids feature breakthrough shaping and offer a category-leading Moment of Inertia (MOI), which is up to 70% higher than the other leading hybrids in its class. This emphasis on hybrids, along with the transitional mix of hollow-back mid irons and cavity-back short irons takes hybrid iron set design to a new level.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Appearance<\/strong><br \/>\nAdams Idea a3 Hybrid Irons are a uniform set of irons. Their appearance fits together from pitching wedge to 3-hybrid. My personal preference, in the interest of full disclosure, is for simpler looking clubs. The sole and cavity markings on the Idea a3 are a little too busy for my taste (as you&#8217;ll soon read this doesn&#8217;t affect playability).<\/p>\n<p>The 6- and 7-irons are called &#8220;hollow-back&#8221; according to Adams which means that there is a little gap between the sole weighting and the face (bringing weight back slightly) whereas in the 8-PW the sole weighting is married to the back of the face. Adams calls these &#8220;cavity-back&#8221; irons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/clubs\/adams_a3_irons_toes.jpg\" height=\"244\" width=\"490\" alt=\"Adams Idea a3 Toe\" class=\"flushleft\" \/><br \/>The Idea a3 Hybrid Irons look clean from the toe. Observe the bounce.<\/p>\n<p>The hybrids obviously led Adams to nickname these irons &#8220;boxer.&#8221; They are extremely boxy and a bigger than your average hybrid. They are somewhat like a smaller fairway wood in terms of overall size while retaining the general look of a hybrid iron. My first impression was that they were big. Again, based on looks alone I&#8217;m not crazy about the hybrids. Thankfully there&#8217;s more than good looks.<\/p>\n<p>At address the irons are easy to look at. There is a generous amount of offset to help square the club at impact. Adams makes no mention of how much offset there is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Performance<\/strong><br \/>\nI was very pleased with how forgiving the Adams Idea a3 Hybrid Irons were. I had just finished reviewing <a href=\"http:\/\/thesandtrap.com\/equipment\/clubs\/nike_cci_forged_irons_review\" title=\"Nike CCi Forged Irons Review\">Nike&#8217;s CCi Forged Irons<\/a> when I started playing Adams&#8217; a3 Hybrid Irons and the difference between the CCis and a3s is noteworthy. As you would expect the Adams a3s were more forgiving my a long shot, especially in the mid- to long-irons. I quickly found my rounds more enjoyable from a scoring perspective because the ball was ending up where I thought it might on a more regular basis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/clubs\/adams_a3_irons_address.jpg\" height=\"341\" width=\"490\" alt=\"Adams Idea a3 at address\" class=\"flushleft\" \/><br \/>Note the boxy new design of the &#8220;boxer&#8221; hybrid. The irons look like a conventional game-improvement iron at address.<\/p>\n<p>One of the Adams Idea a3 Hybrid Irons best features is their seamless integration between short-, mid-, and long-irons. You don&#8217;t have to work hard to match lofts because Adams has done the work for you. They perform well as a set.<\/p>\n<p>The Adams a3 Irons do not offer much in the way of feedback. What I mean is that they were designed for forgiveness. These are also cast and not forged. A general rule of thumb says that the more forgiving a club is the less feedback it will provide and the more feedback a club provides the less forgiving it will be. Your task is to balance the two in the best possible way for your game. Most players agree that feedback is a worthy attribute but not if your score suffers significantly.<\/p>\n<p>For my money, the Adams Idea a3 Hybrid Irons have enough forgiveness to make the game a little easier. You have to hit the ball pretty far out on the toe or heel to notice a difference in feel. You&#8217;ll really have to skull one to notice if you hit the ball thin. What I&#8217;m saying is that they a3 Hybrid Irons are very forgiving. I like that they aren&#8217;t as big as some other irons. Callaway&#8217;s Fusion Wide Sole Irons are a good example of extreme forgiveness in extreme size. The Idea a3 Hybrid Irons are very forgiving while retaining a smaller footprint.<\/p>\n<p>Adams Idea a3 Hybrid Irons have a higher ball flight than their lofts might suggest. There are two factors that I believe send the ball a little higher. The first is that Adams has installed True Temper&#8217;s Players Lite shafts in PW-6I and Grafalloy ProLaunch Red HY in 5H-3H. Both shafts will produce a bit higher flight than my shafts of choice: True Temper Dynamic Gold Stiff for irons and Aldila&#8217;s VS Proto &#8220;By You&#8221; for hybrid. While I have personal preferences these shafts produced a pleasing ball flight and repeatable distances. The second factor influencing ball flight can be attributed to a low center of gravity throughout the set.<\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/clubs\/adams_a3_irons_soles_straight.jpg\" height=\"269\" width=\"490\" alt=\"Adams Idea a3 soles\" class=\"flushleft\" \/><br \/>You can see some of the styling here. This affords you a great look at how much the hybrids prevents you from digging.<\/p>\n<p>Adams claims that the a3&#8217;s &#8220;cambered sole design reduces turf interference and promotes versatility.&#8221; While I&#8217;m not sure how a cambered sole &#8220;promotes versatility&#8221; I noticed that the a3 sole reduced turf interaction. As I said already the difference between Nike&#8217;s CCi Forged irons and Adams Idea a3 Hybrid Irons is significant. Adams&#8217; Idea a3 Hybrid Irons require a more descending blow for solid contact. I couldn&#8217;t figure out why I couldn&#8217;t get down to the ball in the fairway the first time I played with the a3&#8217;s and the cambered sole is why. I remedied the situation by putting the ball a little further back in my stance. That did the trick. I&#8217;m amazed at how much sole design affects how an iron plays.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Adams A3 Headcover\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/clubs\/adams_a3_irons_headcover.jpg\" height=\"119\" width=\"250\" \/>The benefits of the Idea a3 Hybrid Irons are somewhat lost in the rough. The Idea a3 Hybrid size prevent it from cutting through the rough as well as a more compact iron. Where Nike&#8217;s CCi Forged or my Titleist 690.CBs get though the rough as well as an iron could the a3s get hung up. Note to self: hit more fairways. The lesson to be learned (no matter what iron you choose) is to take less club and put the ball back in play.<\/p>\n<p>The hybrid headcovers are unconventional. They are very minimal in design, covering only the head. There is no &#8220;sock&#8221; covering part of the shaft. At first I wondered how they would stay on but there is a little magnet in each head-cover that prevents loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specs and Pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre>Club    Loft    Length     Lie\n----    ----    ------     ------\nPW      45&deg;     35.75\"     63.5&deg;\n9I      41&deg;     36\"        63.25&deg;\n8I      37&deg;     36.625\"    62.625&deg;\n7I      33&deg;     37.25\"     62&deg;\n6I      29&deg;     37.875\"    61.5&deg;\n5H      25&deg;     38.5\"      60.75&deg;\n4H      22&deg;     39.25\"     60&deg;\n3H      19&deg;     40\"        59.25&deg;<\/pre>\n<p class=\"caption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/b\/imgs\/clubs\/adams_a3_irons_mixup_high.jpg\" height=\"554\" width=\"490\" alt=\"Adams Idea a3 Sole\" class=\"flushleft\" \/><br \/>Check out the loud styling and note &#8220;hollow-back&#8221; 6-iron. It has a little gap between the weighting and the face.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><br \/>\nAdams has created a very functional set of clubs for the average player in the Idea a3 Hybrid Irons. After adjusting to the high-bounce in the hybrids enjoyed these clubs tremendously. They played very well, had consistent yardage gaps, and inspired confidence at setup.<\/p>\n<p>This was the first blended set of irons that I&#8217;ve had a chance to review and I am very impressed with how well I played with them during testing. Adams has been an innovator in hybrid design for some time now. Their foray into blended-sets is successful as far as I&#8217;m concerned.<\/p>\n<p>There is no reason why every mid- or high-handicapper shouldn&#8217;t at least give the Adams Idea a3 Hybrid Irons a try. I&#8217;d be surprised if your game didn&#8217;t benefit from putting a hybrid like these into play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another generation of blended iron\/hybrids are on the shelf in the Adams Idea a3 Hybrid Irons.
