We previewed these a few weeks back and they got some peoples' interest. This is the latest hybrid iron set from Adams, who claims to be number one in this category. Some may remember that THP did a very successful forum testing a couple years ago with one of the Idea's predecessors, the a120S hybrid irons. The makeup of the Idea set is very similar in that there is a mixture of true hybrids, hybrid irons, and cavity back irons. To be precise: 3-5 are hybrids, 6-7 are hollow body hybrid irons, and 8-PW are cavity backs.
Stocks shafts are steel True Temper Dynalite 85g in the irons and hybrid irons and Mitsubishi Bassara Eagle Series in the hybrids.
Some new technology is being offered in this set, namely an expansion of the slot technology that we are seeing in so many of the Adams/Taylormade offerings.
New Cut-Thru Slot™ design in the hybrids makes ball speed and launch higher and adds extra distance on off-center shots.
There's an actual wrap-around slot – never seen before in golf clubs – that expands the sweet spot for up to 44% more speed on off-center shots and 23% more speed on center shots compared to our industry-leading Idea a12OS.
Had a chance to get these on the golf course today. Actually unwrapped them as I needed them, so trial by fire. Neat set that played quite well for me. Look for an update with some early thoughts here soon, but until then enjoy some pictures.
