Summary:
I've been becoming more serious about golf and have playing more often, lately. Over the past few months, I've come from being a consistent 100+ shooter to finally poking into the 80's. I've slowly been re-tooling my starter set and finally decided I needed to upgrade from my cheap Spaulding set purchased from Costco.

I think these clubs are fantastic. I love the sweet looking Aldila shafts and the feel of the grips. The heads look nice and are so much more forgiving than my junk set. I was considering buying an old set of OS King Cobra II irons after trying a couple of them. The Cobras were okay, but I like my Adams irons better. I found a great deal. I got them for only $70 and the guy threw in a box of a dozen new balls(Top Flites, though). The clubs were used, but most of them only in the guy's living room. He only used two of the clubs twice on the course, so they were all pretty much brand new. Anyways, I love how high these clubs hit! My short irons and wedge go so high. I love it! I love stepping up and just bombing short par 3's now. My 5 iron has always been my nemesis. I used to hit my old one as far as my 7 iron. Now I can step up and knock my 5 iron about 195 yards. It has made a huge difference on my game. Also, the slice/fade I had on my shots has disappeared. I actually have a bit of a draw now. This is a great, affordable set for the mid-handicapper.

Adam was quite friendly and helpful. Just kidding...never had to use them.

Summary:
Just received these from Rockbottom Golf for $99, which is a giveaway. Went out and hit the 9 iron and all I can say is I am impressed. These look similar at address to the Taylor Made RAC's I had and feel and perform just as good. This is just a first impression and I will follow up after I play a few rounds.I just feel for this kind of performance and value you can't go wrong for the mid-handicapper. Look beyond the ego and realize what works best for your game.

Currently playing Hogan CFT and Ping G2. I have had or tried many of the big name mid-handicap irons. These are as good or better.

Summary:
I purchased the irons (4-PW) and Iwood (2-3) separately from RockBottom Golf.

I decided to get regular graphite shafts. The clubs are accurate and very forgiving.

Even though I was hesitant to abandon the traditional 2 and 3 iron, the hybrid clubs are excellent. They are awesome in the rought (even 4+ inches thick)

If you swing hard, you may want to consider the steel shafts, as they appear to be a little more consistent.

The graphite shafts are accurate and hit the ball about 5 yards further. Don't try to hit these clubs extra hard - better to hit a stronger club (6 versus 7) and swing easy.
