Adams IDEA irons are new for 2023 and signal the return of the popular brand. How do the game-improving irons rate?

Adams Golf is a huge name in golf, but there had been no new releases for more than 10 years until the complete IDEA series of driver, woods, hybrids, irons and wedges were launched in 2023.

The IDEA irons are game-improving with a focus on forgiveness from a hollow body construction, low CG, variable face thickness and unique Tri-Sole design.

How do the first Adams iron produced as a TaylorMade-owned company perform? We got our hands on the budget Idea range and tested them out.

Adams IDEA Irons Specs & Design

The Adams irons are forgiving and aimed at mid-handicappers or high-handicappers who don’t want to splash out on an expensive set.

The IDEAs have been made to look elegant and sleek, but under the body the technologies are all about forgiveness and helping improve the game of average golfers.

The irons are designed with a hollow body construction and a 360 degree undercut, making them perform as a traditional cavity back would.

The undercut is very similar in looks to the TaylorMade P790s, perhaps not surprisingly given that Adams are now part of the same stable.

The face of the IDEA irons has been designed with variable thickness, creating a supreme sweet spot from which the ball really flies and ensuring ball speeds are maintained when struck out of the heel or toe.

Adams have come up with a unique design element over the last decade since last launching irons with the creation of the Tri-Sole.

This feature is sees more bounce added to the middle section of the sole and less on the outer edges for improved turf interaction.

The topline is thicker on the IDEA irons, while the lofts are strong with the set running from 4-iron (20 degrees) to A Wedge (50 degrees).

Adams IDEA Irons Review: Are they any good?

Adams were once one of the most popular irons before disappearing off the radar. Well, that is no longer the case and they are back with a bang.

TaylorMade, the new owners, have opted against bringing Adams back as an all singing, all dancing brand and have instead focused on the growing game-improvement sector with the new IDEA range.

The irons are an impressive combination of elements of TaylorMade’s P790 and Stealth irons and offer forgiveness in bucketloads.

With strong lofts, you can expect more distance while also getting plenty of forgiveness not matter how badly you strike it.
