I was thinking about trying out the older Adams A3OS iron set. Out of the box, standard stiff men's 3-5 hybrid (stock graphite ), 6-PW (steel). I'm looking to upgrade and get rid of my 3 iron (Cobra) down to PW and upgrade a SW from my current Tiger Sharks. The reason I'm asking is that alot of users that I noticed from reviews portray like they are for a more seniors age group. I'm as novice as it gets at 37 yrs old and appreciate any opinions. My swing speed has never been analyzed, but my preference has been stiff shafts.

I don't have experience with those irons, but I picked up the Adams XTD Insights at Dick's and although they cost less than $200, I like the feel of them. I think Adam's makes a very good product, but you really need to try them out to see if it's what works for you. The only complaint I have, is they appear a little wide at address...but tha's just a visual thing. My guess is that the hybrids probably look similar.

Very good choice for beginner's clubs. Worth the money for sure. I'd highly recommend these if you're "novice". I owned the hybrids this year and found them very forgiving. I've also demo'd the irons in both stiff and regular and thought they were just fine.

I would recommend getting a pro to help fit you. Even if you live somewhere cold, I'm sure there is a pro in the nearest city at least , if you don't live in the city, who can give you an hour lesson indoors during the winter, to give you some advice about buying clubs. I think it's important to get some advice when a novice to this game.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
