Anyone have any feedback on these irons? I like the inclusion of 3 and 4 hybrids to replace the 3 and 4 irons I no longer carry. Coming from Bib Bertha 02 models which I hit high and fairly long (6 iron 165yds) . Trouble is they are 1/4 inch long and with normal lie. I need 1/2 short and 2 degree flat.

I have them and they were worth every penny. The hybrids are very easy to hit and i've smacked them right down the middle 200+ several times. The irons play well and the pitching wedge has now replaced my old sand wedge that I use to play to chip onto the green. All in all their a good set of clubs.

I recently had an A2OS set fitted for me. I love the 7-PW but have had trouble controlling the 3 and 4 hybrids. I frequently slice them, and I can't figure out why. The Adams set replaced 25 year old Pings that I found very hard to hit well. I instantly hit the Adams high irons better than the Pings. It's like the hybrids are from a different manufacturer.
I now realize that I need to work on my swing plane and ball positions to hit them better.

Off the tee I tee up my 3-4 hybrids extremely low probably set the tee at about a quarter of an inch. Just enough so the ball sits a little bit above the ground. This has worked great hit the ball right down the middle about 80-90% of the time.
I just got back from buying them. I tried 10 other sets of Irons at Edwin Watts Golf. The reason I got them is because I clearly hit them 10x better than any other club. They had the virtual simulator set up with the big screen you hit into and every ball with my 6 iron/hybrid was straight and 150yds or more.

I just bought a set at Golf Galaxy for $399. Tried the X-20's since I already had the x-14's. Price wasn't the issue - I just wanted to buy clubs that felt good and were forgiving on mishits. Also - I like hybrids instead of 3 & 4 irons so it didn't make sense to buy clubs I wasn't going to use. I liked the look, feel and result of the Adams so I got them. It's easy to get wrapped up in all the hype the big manufacturers create through their advertising. This time I wanted to buy on results and not name brand.
I will be playing with them for the 1st time this Sunday and I'll give some feedback. I have a good feeling from my indoor test. Handicap - 10.
FYI - Returned the Adams A2's and got TM R7's. The Adams are good clubs but they are a little heavier and I wasn't all together happy with my results. They were still much better than my X-14's.
I got a set of Adams A2s. I've been playing about 3 months, and I was looking to step up from my full beginner set.
I find these clubs to be VERY forgiving. Make decent contact on the ball and watch it fly away in that nice long trajectory. Even on mishits you get at least a decent arc and distance. The club feels really nice to swing...not too heavy and not too light, and gives you good feedback on hits (or mishits as the case may be) with the reg steel shafts.
One thing...these clubs are LONG. I'm getting 1 or 2 clublengths on my old set, and I'm still adjusting to the new distance. Also, the A2 set gives you graphite shafted hybrids in place of the 3i and 4i. I am in love with the hybrids. I get a nice high and LONG flight.
I'm not yet advanced enough to "work the ball", so I don't know how well these clubs would perform in that regard. I do know that the A2s hit the ball straight and high very well, and would be a great choice for a high to mid handicapper looking for a good game improvement iron set.
It also helps that the A2s are VERY affordable. You can get a new set for half the price of comparable "bigger names" iron sets.
