I just started playing this year and now consistently shoot in the mid 90's every round and have flirted with a score in the 80's. Things that hold me up right now are approach shots with my irons.

I purchased the Adams A3 set this summer and have really liked them.

The problem is now after a few lessons and working on improving my swing I no longer push/slice the ball with any of the clubs. I religiously hook my approach shots and just about any shot with my irons now.

I have came across the Idea Pro forged set for a great price and like the idea of a minimal offset. Can you tell me if I am a habitual hooker with the A3's these will help with that along with continuing to work on my swing?

Thanks,

Mike

If you are actually 40+ handicap, I'd think that you would want something a bit more forgiving than the Adams Idea Pro.

If you are hooking everything, it is most likely not the clubs, but an over the top swing, or too much in to out, with too hard a release through the ball.

No doubt that there is something in my swing that is incorrect. I did notice once I switched my 3 wood over to a neutral face it has eliminated hooking. At worst It will draw now. This was my reasoning for wanting to try the Idea Pro irons.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
