Hello everyone,
I am just getting back into golf. I played from 10 to 18 prior to joining the Marines and college. I didn't have the time to keep up with golf between deployments and by the time I was done and moved on to my education my enthusiasm had faded away. Until this year, now having graduated and landing my first career oriented job I am looking to start golfing again.
I went to golf galaxy today and tried out a fairly wide variety of clubs. From the ping G15's to the I20's, the Callaway RAZR X and one or two others when I was finally able to narrow it down to two lines of clubs that seemed to have the best feel to me.
I am a fairly competitive person and tend to jump in full bore into things I enjoy. I kept this in mind when looking at the clubs as I wanted something forgiving, as I hadn't played since 2003 but something that would also allow me to grow into skill wise.
I have narrowed it down to the Taylor Made tour preferred CB and the Adams CB 3.
The Adams come in about $100 higher list price but I hit the two clubs very similar. Both ended up about 155 (flight) with a 6. The Taylormade ended up giving me a bit more distance but strictly from the roll it seemed - the Adams seemed to have consistently more backspin.
I am not a big pro tour follower myself and actually had never heard of Adams until today. I was hoping someone more knowledgeable on the subject than I could provide further review between these two sets to help me make this decision, even if it is just that they are so similar either would fit what I am looking for.
I am currently leaning slightly toward the Taylormade but that is 100% because I am more familiar with the branding and I'd prefer not to base my decision on that.
Thanks
