Adams Tight Lies GT2

[elivate]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a bit of advice on some new irons. I can get the Adams Tight Lies GT2 Undercut irons for a really nice price but... I am currently playing a set of irons that I had fitted about 12 years ago. I am about 6' 1" and the irons are longer than standard. I have been told since getting these that I should have been playing standard length irons all along, plus, I recently got some lessons and I have changed my swing quite a bit...

Anyway, If I buy the Adams set they will be standard length and I will not be able to try them out, they are from an online store. There is no one close to me that I can go to get fitted for clubs like this, they only have the higher end clubs and I simply can't afford them. I am pretty confident that the Adams clubs will be a very good set for me, but I am concerned that the difference in length and lie from my fitted clubs might cause me grief, the Adams clubs will be standard length and lie... I also have always had a problem with hitting shots to the right, not a slice, a block, I suppose, my new swing has helped, but I still do it a bit. The Adams clubs are available with stiff shafts, I am playing regular shafts right now, I think the stiff shafts and the GT2 progressive offset might help with this...

Any opinions on this?

Also, I am a pretty average golfer, I can shoot high 80's on a very good day, but I regularly shoot high 90's...

Thanks!!

Also, I just noticed that I can get the newer GT3 irons for not a whole lot more money, plus they come with a 60 and a 55 degree wedge as a bonus... Any great difference in the two sets?

.... All do respect .. but if you can't play em' before you spend your $$, then you could easily being throwing your $$ away ....

I know, this is why I have held off buying a new set of irons... It would require a trip out of town to go to a shop that can fit me (I could go to the pro shop at a golf course close to me, but I can not spend $600+ on clubs right now)...

So I am in a bit of a pickle... The shop where I purchased my existing irons is still in business, but I moved about 6 years ago... I may have to make a special trip, I suppose...

buying irons is a pretty extensive process... unfortunately with new technology comes higher prices, its really hard to point someone in the right direction if they aren't willing to make the investment... there are a very high number of sets out there that are made to help golfers perform at a higher level. what happens to a lot of people is they spend less now, get better then spend more later... in the end this process makes you spend more money... get fitted, properly... launch monitor, go to demo days... take out demo's... do research... you may have to spend some money but it's well worth it

the Taylormade HT's are on sale now for 399.99... I would rec. these sticks over the Adams

Thanks for the advice, I suppose it would be smart to get fitted again... I will have to make the effort to get to a proper shop...
