Tommy armour 845s vs. Adams a7os

[BioGolfNebraska]

I have been golfing for about a year now (am 24 years old) and have been using my father in law's old set: tommy armour silverscot 845s and have been getting more comfortable and consistent gradually. Recently, I bought a new Adams a7os set thinking this would be a hugeimprovementon my game, but since taking my golf lessons and improving my swing ican't hit the chunky Adams irons. The 7,8, and 9 irons in this set all fly way in the air but all go around 100 yards, while I can get 115 with the 9, 125 w 8, and 130-140 with the 7 iron in the TA set, although mishits with the TA irons go way off target. I like the 4 and 5hybrids in the Adams set (i do not hit irons longer than 5i consistently well- I also bag a burner 2.0 3 hybrid which I love). Do you think I should try and sell back my Adams a7os irons (keeping the hybrid 4 and 5) and go back to the TA set, or would I be better off trying to learn how to hit the game improvement irons? It sounds silly to have to work harder to learn how to hit the super game improvement, and I think I might be better off selling this set to pay for a fairway wood. Any opinions? Thanks!

If you can't hit the A7OS, give it up. ;-)

Haha. Thanks.

Okay, I think you are right and I was giving up on the OS clubs too easily. I went and played a par 3 9 hole course this afternoon with a few swing adjustments and I started really feeling good about my iron hitting. I could get 130 to 140 out of my 7i and they were all up in the air and straight and the mishits are much less disastrous than with the TAs. I shot 33 on the very easy par 27 (longest hole was 175, but most are 120 to 140). I think I will try and most a swing video in the swing vid forum to try to get some help from some of the experts on this site. Thanks

All I was saying is that the A7os are very easy to hit. I've had the original 845s and now have the 845 EVO V-31, they're all different animals. Not to mention the shafts are different. I'd say you'll get used to them and like them a bunch. Especially the forgiveness part.

You are right, the clubs just felt so incredibly different that they took several rounds to get used to.  The shafts do feel very different (the 845s shaft feels much heavier and more rigid, even though the A7OS clubs are "stiff" shaft), but the large club heads were the biggest thing to get used to.  I think I will be benefited in the long run from learning to hit a straight ball on the 845s silverscots which are not as forgiving as the Adams clubs.  Thanks for the input.
