Adams Idea Irons...

[bogeymaker]

Hey guys...1st post, brand new to this forum. I was wondering if anyone playing with these irons (Adams Idea)? I just purchased some today after being out of the game for almost 5 years (I used to swing Cobra's, but that is when I was playing every single day and shooting in the mid 70's). I had them fitted to me and my swing today and the clubs will actually be in in about 3 weeks.

Anyone else using Adams Idea Irons? What do you like/dislike about them? I was told that they were very forgiving and all around great clubs, but I wanted to hear it from the people who play with them.

Welcome aboard bogeymaker!

Hmmmm.......out of it for 5 years (why?), used to shoot mid 70's (I have to know why you gave it up again) and want advice on irons?


Sheesh! even with the 5 year layoff I'd figure you could tape a club head to a length of garden hose and shoot bogey golf.

I have no experience with the Adams irons but I have never read anything bad about them and since you already own them I figure you're pretty much stuck with them.

Heh...I havent played for that long because, well, I got married and started my own photography business. The business took about 14 hours every day and my wife took the rest. I am now just getting to the point that I can run my business and play a little bit every now and then.

I said i used to shoot mid 70's but it is more like high 70's, low 80's with some mid 70's thrown in.

I used to play EVERY single day at my local course where I used to live...mainly because at that time I was a police officer and we got to play there for free - greens and carts. I just couldnt NOT play then. I would venture to say that if I had played a harder course during that time that I would have not shot as well.

I actually played for the first time in about 5 years today with a thrown together hodge podge bag of clubs (some blades, some ladies clubs and wooden Spaulding drivers) and I absolutely SUCKED. I tested the Adams IDEA sticks out at my local golf store and really liked them a LOT. BUT, that was at the store hitting them into the net. That is what got me to wanting to go out and just play 9 and I am really glad that I did, even though I was shooting worse than most hacks. Im excited though, about getting back into the game and hope that maybe I can now get 3-4 rounds a week in. At least I can hit the range a lot more now and just beat some balls if nothing else.

Now, if I could just get these new clubs in my hands without my wife spazzing out on me, Ill be OK.

Here's how to get by the wife.....

First time, buy the clubs and take your lumps. Buy a new club or two every so often and build up a small collection. Become what we affectionaltly refer to as a "club Ho".

Once you have a few clubs laying around, slipping in a new set here and there just goes under her radar, get it?

There are many experienced club ho's here, we know all the tricks..... LMAO!

You have to be careful. Years ago my wife noticed the shaft in my driver was a different color. I told her I painted it different colors to change how it looked.

Don't laugh, it worked.

i'll laugh because it did work thats great stuff, adams golf always has had solid stuff, i've heard nothing but great things about the idea's but don't personally play them,

good luck, let us know how it goes

You learn to think fast when you have been married as long as I have.
