I decided to try and get more of a "players" iron set yet still desired something that had some degree of forgiveness. I could not be more happy! This set is a big step up from my super game improvement irons that served a purpose, but left something to be desired. Make no mistake, I have only been golfing for about 2 years and carry about an 18 handicap. I am getting at least 10 yards more in distance and a lot better ball flight (height and a slight draw). The feedback and feel of these beauties are amazing! My game and confidence has improved since purchasing these bad boys. Oh yeah, make sure you get fit. I required a 2 degree adjustment in lie and a 1/2" extra in lenght. What a difference. Feels like thses clubs were taylor fit for me. Buy these irons and you won't be disapointed.

I have been golfing for 30 years and have always owned either Callaway or Ping irons. Over the last 15 years I have had 3 sets of Ping irons and they were fine. The last irons were the Ping Rapture which I had a very hard time "feeling". I decided to get some new irons and had my sights set on the Callaway Razr irons, the Wilson Staff irons, and the Burner 2.0's.
I went into the cage at the golf store and started the process. I had been hitting a number of different brands and had not fell in love yet. The pro handed me an iron (6-iron) and told me not to look at the brand, to just hit it a few times. I smoked it longer and straighter than the others over and over. It also had a tremendous "feel" that I'd been missing. I finally looked down and saw the "Adams" logo. I was stunned because I had NEVER considered an Adams product and never thought I would.
I then took the Callaway Razr 6-iron, the Wilson Staff 6-iron, and the CB2 6-iron to the real range to see if what I felt in the cage would work where it really counted.
In short, the Adams CB2 destroyed the other two in every category.....length, feel, control, and not that it matters that much...but, it's just a better looking club.
I'm now wondering what I'll do when these eventually wear out. I know it's crazy but I've thought about buying a back-up set because these things are just that great. They've transformed my iron play. They are forgiving and still feel like a players club...I've had them 7 months and am so glad that pro put one in my hand because I would never have found them otherwise.
I'm now looking at a demo of the Fast 12 because if Adams is that great in irons I thought I'd look at the driver.
Lesson here for me was that the "big name" boys may have the marketing muscle but Adams makes the best irons. And, it's not close. I've never raved about a set of clubs like this and I certainly have never written a review. I just want people to know how great these clubs are...if I could give 10 starts I would.
Thanks Adams, for making a set of phenomenal set of irons.

Played Pings for years. But I purchased these without playing them...for the look and more importantly, the FEEL! They certainly have not disappointed me. Crisp ball striking, excellent sound, and extremely smooth feel. And they look nice too...don't mind using head covers to protect the forged heads. May never return to Pings again.

I have always shot low to mid 80's. Now I'm breaking into the 70's. These irons have increased my skills so much. I'm hitting the ball so much straighter now. I have a lot more control of the ball. It's insane! I recommend these irons over any. I used to play with the Calaway Big Bertha X-12 irons and I thought they increased my distance where I had to drop a club from my previous clubs. After I bought these irons, I have dropped another club in distance. They are amazing. Plus, they look sharp. I can't tell you how many friends have picked up one of my clubs and made comments on them. The only complaint that I have is that the black seems to fade over time...I just wish it wouldn't fade because the look of these clubs are sexy. But I still give 5 stars because it's not really about what they look like, but how well they perform and I don't think I'll change irons for a very long time. Thanks Adams Golf! I'm now a customer for life! By the way, I have never submitted a review on a product before. I felt like I really needed to on this product. I always read reviews and do my research before I purchase something. I'm a firm believer that you will be completely satisfied with these irons. Hope this helps.
My Favorite Feature Increased my accurancy and distance.

I've played these for 6 months (they replaced a set of AP2 710 s) and it was love at first hit. A solid yet soft feel unlike any iron i've played ( and I've played most top rated irons over the years). Just a perfect iron. Good distance with a nice high trajectory with the medium and short irons. Hold the green well and I've been very accurate on my approaches to the pin.
My Favorite Feature Looks like a players club, plays like a game improvement iron

simply put, the best irons I have ever hit. The sound the feel, and the distance put them heads above the other irons out there. I really like the thin top line..the look of a pro club with the forgiveness the amature needs.

I absolutely love these irons. I bought them in the beginning of the season and they are blend of forgiveness, confidence and work ability. I have never bought adams brand until these irons, now I will be purchasing a three hybrid to go with this great set. If you have a chance to buy these go for it, you won't be dis.
