How to identify this generation
- Adams’ set photo shows five chrome irons with a red-and-chrome a3 cavity badge and three hybrids with a red crown stripe on black graphite shafts.
- The Idea name also appears on these Adams irons; compare their markings before using this chart: Idea a3OS (2008 US page); Idea a7 (2011 US page); Idea CMB (2012 US page); Idea Super S (2013 US page).
What to notice in the specifications
- Adams sells this set with hybrids in place of the long irons; the same table lists the 3 hybrid (19°, 59.25°, 40 in), 4 hybrid (22°, 60°, 39.25 in) and 5 hybrid (25°, 60.75°, 38.5 in) as loft, lie and length. Those hybrid rows are kept out of the chart.
- The page prints the 6-iron length as 37.845 in; the cell is kept as published.
Checking a club you own? These are the maker's published figures for an original build, not measurements of your club, and a source date is not the year it was made. Bending, reshafting or a hosel adjustment changes loft, lie and length, so identify the head by its own markings and have a fitter measure it when its history is unclear.
