UPS just dropped these off at my house. Photos, video and initial thoughts to come.

What types of misses did you see with the hybrids? I hope I'm not sounding like a broken record but I'm really looking forward to seeing how having the same shaft throughout the set plays out. I think it could lend to consistancy with the shots/feel throughout the swing even when going from hybrid to an iron. Could really help with the transition and those that may struggle with it.
For you testers I wonder how the OEM specs for club face degrees compare to your current/previous irons and whether or not you've noticed it the Adams are more/less/same.
Thanks - great updates, keep 'em coming!

Wow.... y'all have been really busy squeezing in some playing and range time with your shiny new Adams Stiks...!! Great writeups by all the testers so far, and I really like the video's as well. fwiw.. I love fried chicken too!!
I was wondering if anyone has tried hitting some punch or knockdown type shots, and how did the clubs work out for those types of shots? Also, has anyone tried chipping with the hybrids?
Looking forward to hearing more of your expeirences with these new clubs, and keep up the good work!
Yoccos, I played my 3rd round with these clubs today and it is still the same for me, I tend to miss left or either miss with a small toe hit. I am enjoying the shafts, mine have all of the standard markings and are the ProLaunch Blue Regular flex. I still plan to extend the shafts Friday and then get the lies checked after that. I had wanted to try this shaft for a while and they are doing exactly what I thought they might do for me. I also seem to be adjusting to them as there were fewer misses to the left in today's round.
I have not seen the specs on these irons, but I suspect they are slightly stronger lofts than the MX-300s I was playing. If anyone has the specs could you post them here? Thanks.

Good updates today everyone. I really like what I'm hearing about these irons and they have me more and more intrigued. Yoccos, is the graphite still really helping you with your elbow, and how do you like these stock graphite shafts in general?
So I snuck in another bucket of balls at lunch today. I only used the 9 through gap to get a better feel for the scoring irons.
9 I warmed up with it by dropping some balls around the 100 Mark. Very easy club to lay up with . But it always wanted to carry longer than tested. After warming up I was able to constantly hit around the 140 Mark. If I wanted to I could really swing it and easily clear 160 in the air.
P wedge. Very nice club to hot to. I can play it to between 125 to 135 comfortably without sacrificing accuracy . I have the ability to play it 150 but it opens up about a twenty yard window of where it is gonna go.
Gap wedge. This club is about the most unforgiving club in the set. I hit it fat slot leaving me hight short hits. I am going to keep at it and figure out if it me messing w my swing.
Over all I cant wait to get them on the course tomorrow and destroy those pesky par threes with the 6 hybrid
'Kelly, a couple times I almost thought I heard a high pitched sound at impact when you were chipping. Am I just imagining that?
I usually dont muscle shots on the course. When i do i loose alot of accuracy. The distance is a little more and that gained distance is accurate distance to. On the range i swing them with some force to see what i can do just incase i need the distance with loft to clear a tree or somethingNick, good stuff in here, I'm just curious about the yardages you are seeing with the adams set vs iron sets you have played in the past. Are you seeing an increase in distance or are those numbers you are used to? Do you always try to muscle a shot out there, or do you just play your stock "driving range" iron swing on all your shots? Interesting as well that the GW is giving you a little trouble. I'm sure you will get it, but thats an intersting though. Look forward to more of your thoughts in these irons.
Great write ups so far everyone! I really loved KB's video and even better yet, her other video's....LOL. I loved OG in the pink hat, but I had to keep the sound low because I'm at work and I didn't want anyone else here in the office to think I was looking at something wrong given the great talk OG was giving. Very good stuff. Made me smile for the first time today! I'll replay the video(s) when I get home this evening.
Keep up the great reviews everyone! I like this set a lot.

Thanks for the videos KB, that looked like a tough lie off that hardpan. Some great stuff in this thread, keep up the good work
