Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner (I've been playing for about 4 months). I recently decided to buy a new set of irons and was deciding between the TaylorMade RAC OS & The Cobra 3100 I/H.
Then, I stumbled on the Adams Idea A2 OS irons (With 3 & 4 wood-like graphite hybrids, 5 & 6 hybrid-like graphite irons, rest normal steel-shafted irons). I was hitting the ball well. The trajectory looked great, the distance wasn't bad and they felt really really easy. I understand that these will probably not last me more than 2-3yrs (before I would want an upgrade). I could get them for 400 bucks (which is within budget for me).
Has anyone played with these irons ?? Any advice / experience would be appreciated. Thanx alot in advance.

I liked the A2 and if you are a beginner you may want to try these out. I could not stand losing my 5 and 6 iron out of my bag was the primary reason I never tried the OS.

The sand Trap did a review on the A2 OS though click

Thanx alot ... I agree - It felt wierd hitting hybrids instead of regular 5 & 6 irons. But I cant argue with the results. Long, High, Straight. Hmmm ... guess I'll give these a few more days at the range before I make a decision.

    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
