I currently have a couple sets of Adams Irons and between the two, I have a PW, GW and SW.  Is this good enough, or should I get a dedicated wedge set?  The 2 sets that I have are A4 and A7OS.

Depends on how you hit them. Is there an uneven yardage gap among the three? Is one of them more difficult to hit than the other two?

If you hit the current wedges OK, you might want to keep your current mix until your swing stabilizes a little more.  As you learn more about the game, you'll be able to tell what you actually need in wedges.

I'll second WUTiger's response.

I went through a swing change this year and did not buy a new wedge set yet (as I planned to purchase a new set in April). I'm going to hold off until next year and go with the Cleveland CG series - most likely the CG16. After trying the LW a bit, I love the "light-as-a-feather" feel of the club and the spin/control that I get with it.

Hold off until you truly know your game .

EDIT: By "know your game", I mean until your game answers your question for you. There's no certain HC to achieve, or distance, etc. Your game will tell you what you need and when you're ready for it - if you're not willing to get lessons or go through a fitting, that is.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
