Adams GT2 w/ High Launch 3&4 Irons

Summary:
I've always played graphite shafts and wanted to switch to steel, so I bought these to "start out" with. I bought these in the Stiff Flex from RockBottomGolf.com about 6 months ago for $129. Out of the box, the clubs are fairly forgiving. If you plan to keep them a while, you may want to swap out the grips. The 3 and 4 High Launch irons are really easy to hit and as the name implies, the ball will launch with a high trajectory. For slower swingers, this would be ideal, but with my swing speed and even with the stiff shafts, the ball would get airborne and balloon, causing me to lose significant distance. I found that even the other irons in the set tended to hit the ball way too high, forcing me to go up a club or two versus my previous set of irons. However, once I got adjusted to going up a club or two, these irons were dead on accurate and was able to get some good spin with the 7-PW. I really couldn't work a draw or fade with any of the clubs like I could with my previous set of irons, but I think this is due to the design of the club heads and Adams' focus on higher handicap players. Pretty decent irons, but I ended up trading them in for the MacGregor V-Foil M565 irons.

Customer Service:
Adams was pretty good. I tried to explain that I was getting the ball in the air too high, and they tried to give me some advice, but I wasn't going to change my swing for these clubs.
As usual, Rock Bottom Golf was great. Great price, fast shipping, and they offered free delivery at the time of purchase.

Summary:
The set I purchased was a demo set that looked like they had never been hit. Very forgiving irons, but I noticed I was hitting every club very high in the air, resulting in a loss of 15-20 yards over my old set of Wilson Pro Staffs. I wasn't doing anything different with my swing, and the specs for the clubs said the lofts were the standard that come on most off-the-rack sets. So I swapped the gimicky shafts for good ol' True Tempers and saw an immediate improvement on the distance and flight of the ball. Since these are an older set of clubs, you can pick them up fairly cheaply. Swap the shafts and you've got yourself a great set of very forgiving, easy to hit irons.

I've emailed the board three times, I wanted to be consistant, and asked that two of three be removed. When originally posted I recieved server errors. My apologies that they are still there.

ADAMS GT ULTRALITE GRAPHITE SHAFT IRONS

Summary:
What can I say? These clubs are great! I'm 5'9 170lbs and can run like the wind. My problem? I just had to admit that my swing speed is not "pro". Can you say graphite shafts? So I read reviews on all types of clubs, hit many more at demo days. But only because of the reviews did I purchase the gt ultimates. A gamble? Not in my book. These clubs look and feel great. The graphite shafts feel sooooooo smooth. And as far as feedback? Just the right amount. I would definatly recommend these to anyone.. No wait! I meant no one! I want the advantage from here on out. One more thing. I bought these on ebay. Brand spanking new, aside from the 5 and 9 iron being hit a few times, for $150. The seller threw in a brand new Adams idea sand wedge. I love that man!

Customer Service:
I wanted more info on these clubs so I shot them an email. 1 hour later I had a spec sheet emailed to me with any and all info needed on these clubs. Great customer service!
