How to identify this generation
- Adams’ photo shows three dark grey CB1 irons from the back, each with a white-framed IDEA badge in the upper cavity, FORGED lettering low on the toe side and the club number at the top of the back.
- The Idea Pro name also appears on these Adams irons; compare their markings before using this chart: Idea Pro, Idea Pro Gold (2008 US page); Idea Pro Black, Idea Pro a12 (2011 US page).
What to notice in the specifications
- Adams lists the CB1 as 4-GW, right-hand only, with Project X Flighted Rifle steel or Mitsubishi Rayon JAVLNFX i95 graphite; the GW is 51°.
- Adams publishes the same lofts, lies and lengths from 4-iron to PW for the Idea Pro a12 irons and the Idea CMB irons, different heads; both of those list a 50° GW where the CB1 GW is 51°.
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.
