Throwing this out there. Although I know it will be hard to answer. I currently play the Hopkins DJ-21. I have found the Adams XTD Forged irons on sale for a pretty ridiculous low price. Was wondering if anyone thought how these compare. Forgiveness etc. Thanks
 
All I can really say is that the Adams CMB was a far better iron than the XTD forged imo. If you can find a good deal on those I would buy them in a heart beat.
 
Thank you
 
If your happy with the Hopkins, why switch. You could just waste money on something that doesn't work

Good question. That I dont really have a great answer for except, if many here said how the XTD were superior it would be an opportunity to get good irons for $299

Superior for whom is what I'd ask. If, say for instance, when the 915 hybrids came out and Canadan reviewed them. I knew I could relate since we both have similar games in terms of ball striking. I didn't need a hybo but I knew the source.

If you don't know the source I'd tread carefully.
 
I have never hit the Hopkins, but I game the XTD Forged. I really really like them. They are not over the top forgiving, but I think they are forgiving for the type of iron they are.

$299 is a GOOD price, but I think you could find better if you hold out a little bit. I got a mint set of 5-GW for right at $200 shipped.

As far as vs. CMB's. I find the XTD Forged a little more forgiving, but both are really good irons.

Thank you. The $299 is for the 3*, 4*, 5-PW. I appreciate your response.

Yep... that is a great deal! I believe Rock Bottom Golf is running that promotion. You might find a coupon code for them as well. New golf equipment never hurts anyone.

I am basically looking at this as almost a deal you cant pass up. The only thing I was trying to figure out is if the irons were just so far beyond my skill level that the purchase was completely useless. Like I said I usually play around 89-90 golf although iron strikes are not really the downfall of my current game. And the DJ-21 are already a "players type" iron. Your post has made it seem that these are not true blades and ultra unforgiving. So once again thanks

I normally hover around the low 80s and I find them perfectly playable. Iron play is one of my better assets (if I have any). They are not G Series irons, but I think you will be fine.
