They Make 'em. I Buy 'em.
Today I was hitting some clubs at a local golf store when a salesman asked if I had hit the Adams CB 3 irons. Never one to turn down a club that could give more distance I gave them a go. Started hitting the 6 iron and was flicking it 170 to 180 with roll out to 198 and even had one go 207.
Now for me this was something I had not experienced. After a few minutes a couple more sales people gathered around to talk about how good these clubs were and I couldn't disagree with the distances. Now I wanted them badly. The sales people were pointing out the distances and were saying my spin rates were in the 2500 range. I got so caught up in the how far the ball was going I couldn't care about rate. Told them to wrap up the sticks and I would be back to do a comparison on some clubs I was thinking about getting rid of.
Came back and did a test which is in the below chart and looked at the numbers and realized the long shots I was hitting was because of the low spin rate. Spoke to another guy who said although I hit it well the ball wouldn't stay on the green due to the spin rate. That nearly settled it for me.
The Adams I was hitting was were KBS stiff and I don't use stiff. The two Mizunos in the test are stock graphite which is my shaft of choice. Will prob go back and Hit Adams with KBS Reg just to see but doubt its going to change my mind. Sometimes you already have is what you need. At least I did in this case.
I posted this long winded rant to simply say I forgot to look at all the numbers and consider why I was hitting out of my normal range and distance. I hit ten shots with each and took the best five. Usually I have to drop some coin to to feel.satisfied when I visit the golf store. Not tonight.
For what is worth here is the LM details.
TapAhoy!
