I used to own some horrible no name irons when i first started and they were tinny and hard to hit. I never thought much of it ( thought it was me ) and recently I got some Nike Slingshots, and wow, what a difference, since owning them I have hit some x20s etc, but for me, with a high handicap, Slingshots are amazing.
I lose a couple yards though because the ball flight is higher than others, but they are easy to hit
But I agree that Adams make some great forgiving clubs, and if I didn't have the Slingshots, Adams would be my next choice.
