I had been playing Epons for 6-7 years, and as much as i love them i knew they did not have the forgiveness to help me out on those off days. I also knew that irons have come leaps and bounds in the last 7 years or so, so i started looking around.
I am a used club kind of guy, i only paid what i paid for my "New" Epons was because of a insurance settlement. I came across the Adams CB3s and liked everything i heard about them, and picked up a like new set set on Ebay for 170.00. The seller said they were bent 2 degrees flat, and i have played with them for the past 4 months thinking as such.
I also started a string of 6 lessons the first being two weeks ago, and after the first lesson my teacher said, let's hold off on the irons this time and let's get them looked at first. So we did and worked on my woods first lesson, and then Saturday my teacher calls me and gets me set up with the club fitter.
I took a few swings on a lie board, and Mike who is the club fitter, then placed some lie tape, and 3 more swings and we saw everything was way out on the toe. He bent the 7 iron 4 degrees up right from where it was, took a few more swings and the feel, sound was night and day and everything was dead middle on the new tape. So he adjusted my set and my wedges to all be in line with each other, and he also said the KBS tour 90 stiff shaft was most likely a bit weak for me, on the lie tape even after lie adjustment he felt contact was a bit too far back from the leading edge.
well i went back out to the range with my newly adjusted irons, and while i only got through my 4 wedges (58,54,50,45) the difference was amazing. Cleaner contact, distance increases, and direction was spot on, everything felt so much easier i laughed to myself that i did not get these looked at ASAP.
