Hey everyone. My old Adams clubs are 16 years old, and although they are still perfectly fine I'd like to upgrade to a new set and start playing a bit more.
As someone who's currently looking round for a new set of GI irons, the stronger lofts definitely concern me a bit. I'm all for a bit more distance (gapping concerns around the wedges aside) but I don't want to sacrifice stopping ability on the occasions I hit the greens. I know the newer clubs still have decent height and descent angles via todays face technology but spin is definitely still an issue IMO.
So, would it work to combine strong lofted clubs with a higher spinning ball to give you that extra bit of backspin to help stop the ball? Maybe even with a high launch shaft as well.
Would the extra forgiveness counter the ball's extra sidespin, or would if be insignificant? It'd be nice to think that you could combine forgiveness, distance AND better stopping power when you do hit it well and onto the green.
P. S. I hope this is in the right place. Noob to the forum.
