I got the tight lies irons, took a little bit of getting used too but now I like them.

Was there anything unsatisfactory about the paint job and finish in these tight lies clubs? Specially the woods??

I only got the irons, so I have no idea what the woods are like.

I bought the ladies integrated A30S (13 clubs). I was surprised with how many of the clubs I kept in the bag. Only the 3, 5 wood and putter didn't stay in play. I hit my Nike SQ woods a little longer than the Adams and it's hard to compete with a Scotty putter. The Adams A30S driver did replace my R5 though (I was surprised too).

I use Adams Speedline woods and hybrid and they are awesome. Adams Idea Pro Gold irons are very nice in feel and get quite good distance. I would expect their other clubs to perform just as well. Their economical wedge set Tom Watson PVD is a bit lacking when imposing spin on the ball, so for the 56 and 60, I would look elsewhere.

Gotta disagree-have no problem putting plenty of spin on the Watson wedges, and that is comparing them to Vokeys, Clevelands, and my favorite wedge, my Macgregor DW Forged.

I would go to Golf Galaxy/Dicks Sporting Goods or any of the major golf shops and go snag a set of Adams A3's for $299.

Yep, you can get the A3s for the same price you quoted on the tight lies. The A3s are a better overall club than the tight lies.

Adams is making some good equipment lately, and mostly under the radar I think. I've had a #2 hybrid A3 Boxer that I swap out with my 5w from time to time. Earlier this year, I switched to the Adams Speedline driver and at the moment I've got my eye on the Pro Black MB irons, which I'll probably pick up in the off-season or next year.

    • Day 353: mirror work again today. Working on the same stuff - wrist twist and shaft lean. 
    • This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.
    • Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 18 Index My typical ball flight is: Slice/Fade with a driver and FW. Generally straight with irons, varies some days left or right. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver slice. Videos:   
    • What are the best drills to practice awareness for club face control? This one came to mind after remembering a bit from the latest release of the podcast. I also think that I have poor club face to path awareness.
