Hey guys, I am around an 18 Handicaper, and I was thinking of replacing my current Irons to the Adams A1 Irons (with the 3 & 4 Hybrids) - Hoping to improve my iron game and hit more solidly with a more forgiving club. I saw them on a local buy & sell website located in my town. Before giving the person a call to try them out, I was wondering if anyone on here owns this particular set and can give me some feedback on what you think of them? My friend has this exact set but with Steel shafts, and he loves them, very forgiving with great distance he says. I would try his set out, but the problem is I am left handed. Please let me know! Thanks guys.

Well there's the Idea A2. A2 OS (oversized), Idea Pro, Idea Tech, and now they have the new A3...whew!!

My wife uses the Regular Idea A2 with graphite shafts and she's left handed. She can hit all of them pretty consistently and absolutely loves them and she's left handed. She uses Men's regular because that's what she's used to and she still shoots pretty consistently in the low 100's.

I've tried the Idea Pro and really should have bought them but was a little skeptical on the less offset. The stock shaft is Proto VS in the hybrids and TT Black in the irons.

I don't think you'll like the OS at all, bit too clunky looking...so if you were going to get some, eithere try the new A3 or the A2, and you should love them, or you could do what a lot of others do and just add a couple of hybrids..myself I have the Taylor Made Rescue Duals.

In My Bag:

    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
