Adams Idean Tech OS Iron Set

Summary:
Udate of my 9-27-2008 review. I have now played 36 holes with the new irons. The last month I have averaged 105+ for 18 holes of golf. I shot a 95 both rounds with these irons. I am getting more yardage with these irons as I expected. My overall golf game (drives, fairway shots, etc.) has been better. Maybe having a good looking and playing iron set in some way affected my entire game?

Customer Service:
I had sent a email with questions. I got a very good response to all of my questions and some advice. Info on how to get a wrench and weights but advising me against doing it as the weights are adjusted for swingweight only. I am impressed with the response.

Adams Idea Tech OS 3 - PW iron set

Summary:
Just purchased this set on eBay. 3 thru 6 are grapite regular flex hybrids. 7 thru PW are steel shafted regular flex irons. Have tried them only once on the driving range. I am 67 and this is my 4th summer playing golf. I average between 100 and 105 for 18 holes of golf. I am trying to shoot in the 90's and hope this set helps me accomplish that goal. I like the looks at address of these irons. Distance should be longer for these irons because of the lofts. Using the Adams online site to get the lofts of the current Idea A4OS lofts and assuming my set is the same, the lofts are 1 or 2 degrees stronger than you average iron lofts. 1 degree can equate to 2 to 4 yards in distance. Playing 18 holes tomorrow and Wednesday and will update what my experience is after 36 holes of golf.

Customer Service:
Have a email request for info on a wrench and instructions on adjusting weights ( not needed on newer models ). We will see how they respond.

Adams A2 Hybrid Irons

Summary:
I have had this set for a year and a half and I love it. I bought it brand new for $400 USD. I am not sure why more companies dont include hybrids in their sets. Adams does a great job with the hybrids. Now I can use 3 and 4 iron with confidence. The clubs inspire confidence at address with the wide top line. They are very easy to get airborne. I tend to hit a lower trajectory and I have been able to get a bit more height with these. Especially with the short irons it has been nice. I have heard many say that Adams is the "senior" line of clubs.....I'm 31 and I have had great luck with these clubs. They are a great value between the price and the fact that they include the hybrids. I believe that any age group can benefit. I prefer the A2 over the A2 OS as I think that 5 and 6 hybrids are a bit too much.......but if that fits your game then I would go for it.

Adams Idea Tech OS Hybrid

Summary:
First, I normally shoot in the 87-92 range, and my best score was 83. Couple weekends ago I was at a driving and a guy standing next to me was kind enough to let me hit his #3 and #4 Adams Idea Tech OS hybrid. WOW, I was so impressed, the ball flight was straight with excellent "hang time". After that I went out to the local Golf Galaxy and test different Adams hybrids. I tried both Adams Idea Tech OS and Adams Idea AS 03, and I kept going back to the Tech OS. I found a used Adams Idea Tech OS #4 hybrid so I bought it. Took it out to a golf course last week and WOW, I was impressed, so straight and great hang-time for maximum distance. I like this model so much I just eBay'd the #3 hybrid which should come this week. AS 03 did not fit my swing probably its shaft wt. is 75-g vs 60-g that of Tech OS. I heard a lot of good thing about Adams hybrid, but never give it a chance. I did not hit the #5-PW of Tech OS so I cannot comment on performance of those clubs, but the Adams Tech OS hybrids are excellent for my swing. Hopefully they would help me break 80 (my short game and putting has to be sharp though). I gave it high value rating because I bought it used and a new one on eBay
