2008 Iron Buyer's Guide
When it comes to buying a new set of irons, be sure to pick a set that?s made for your game and swing. The right set of irons will always perform better than a set that?s not properly fitted to your needs.
 Adams IDEA a30S
Key Feature: The long irons are replaced with Boxer hybrids, the middle with specially designed hybrids and the short irons are traditional cavity-backs. What We Like: Each club has a high MOI and deep CG, which means straighter shots. Who It’s For: Players who want game improvement from every club in the bag. Clubhead: Stainless Steel • Clubface: Maraging Steel • Design: Hybrid iron set Custom Options: Yes • Clubs: 2-6 (Boxer hybrid), 6-8 (Hybrid), PW, SW, AW, LW • Shafts: Grafalloy ProLaunch Platinum graphite (S, R); True Temper Performance Lite steel (S, R) adamsgolf.com | $599 and up |
 Bridgestone J36 Cavity Back
Key Feature: The smooth, forged feel of the new J36 CBs is complemented with a tapered sole design, trailing edge relief and a progressive cavity that maximizes performance. What We Like: The Rifle Project X steel shafts feel as if they were made for these irons. Also, if players want to mix in the new J36 Blades or J36 Pocket cavity irons, it’s a cinch. Who It’s For: Mid- to low-handicappers who want forgiveness with shotmaking options. Clubhead: Mild carbon steel • Clubface: Same Design: Forged cavity back • Custom Options: Yes • Clubs: 3-PW • Shafts: Rifle Project X steel (X, S, R) bridgestonegolf.com | $799 |
 Bridgestone J36 Pocket Cavity
Key Feature: The Pocket Cavity design cuts mass out from behind the clubface for a higher MOI and added forgiveness. What We Like: Designed to complement the J36 Blade/Cavity Back or to stand alone as a complete set, the J36 Pocket Cavity is a true work of art. Who It’s For: Better players who want game-improvement irons that, well, look nothing like game-improvement irons. Clubhead: Mild carbon steel • Clubface: Same Design: Forged pocket cavity-back • Custom Options: Yes • Clubs: 3-PW • Shafts: Rifle Project X steel (X, S, R) bridgestonegolf.com | $799 |
