Adams XTD Irons Review

• on June 18, 2014

50 Words or Less

The Adams XTD irons are easily the most forgiving iron I have ever hit.  Unique new-age look.

Check out the new 2023 Adams IDEA irons HERE

Introduction

Adams Golf is known as one of the best equipment manufacturers in the game, but it’s still a bit shocking just how often they create a superior golf club.  In their latest game improvement iron, the XTD, Adams has implemented some new technology to produce one of the best game improvement irons I have ever tried.

When Adams introduced the new XTD Irons , there was a strong response from a the usual suspects on the golf forums saying these irons looked terrible, they were robotic and clunky, what was Adams thinking?  Well, Adams Golf decided to respond to some of this criticism by having some of the engineers from their R&D department create a Youtube video (found HERE ) where they read the comments from a particular large forum and responded to them.  The Adams engineers handled it with class and just shrugged it all off…and rightfully so.

Is the XTD an interesting looking iron?  Absolutely.  It’s important to remember that this is a modern game improvement iron and, by nature, it is going to have a different look.  Look at most of the 2014 game improvement irons with their technological advances, and they all have a newer space age look to them.  The XTD irons have a black finish, with red and silver accenting, and they are a larger head with offset.  The cross-cavity technology not only looks cool, but it puts the new technology in plain sight.  In terms of a game improvement irons, it’s a great looking club, and frankly, I think Adams really knocked it out of the park aesthetically .

Sound & Feel

The 2014 Adams XTD irons took me by complete surprise when I first heard them, because it was like nothing I had ever heard from an iron before.  The sound is a lot more like a wood or hybrid than an iron which gives you a certain sense of confidence and forgiveness on each shot.  When I first started hitting the XTD’s, I was hitting a lot of fat shots, but the club was still getting good contact on the ball, producing the same sound rather than a thick thump you might be used to hearing when you take a massive six inch deep divot.  Once I was dialed in, the XTD irons had a nice soft ping at impact.

As with the sound, the feel of the XTD irons is a little more like a firm hybrid than your typical iron.  This creates a more forgiving and pleasant feel that will be desirable for someone looking to play a game improvement iron.  A nice little addition to the XTD iron is the face impact damper which drastically reduces vibration and softens the feel a little bit more.

Performance

I mentioned earlier that the Adams XTD irons  are the most forgiving iron I have ever hit, and I know this because I hit a lot of fat shots to start with.  Normally when I hit a fat shot, I lose significant distance.  With the Adams XTD,  somehow I wasn’t losing much distance, if any.  It seemed as long as the ball was able to find a significant portion of the face, the club did the rest of the work.  Adams has moved the center of gravity off the face of the club with their cross-cavity design and this results in corrective spin for off-center hits.  This keeps your ball on a better trajectory to help maintain your distance and accuracy.

It’s worth noting that Adams is making great efforts to generate more distance with the XTD iron using technology rather than just strengthening the lofts.  The XTD has the thinnest cast iron face to date from Adams which gives a little more pop off the face and increases the ball speed.  The increased ball speed gave me about 3/4 of a club more distance.   Also, the Adams XTD’s thinner face and placement of center of gravity promotes optimal launch angles for more distance.  Our set came with KBS C-Taper 90 shafts in them, so my ball flight was a little lower than normal and I could have had a little more distance with a shaft that gave me a bit higher launch angle throughout the set.

When Adams introduced their first club so many years ago, the Tight Lies, they firmly established themselves as leaders in forgiveness and distance.  The Adams XTD irons are no exception to this rule and may be one of the most ideal game improvement irons in the market right now.  The added distance isn’t crazy, but it’s enough to give higher handicap players a better chance at getting down the course, and the forgiveness of the XTD’s only makes it easier for them to hit comfortable straight shots.  It’s important for a set of game improvement irons to make playing golf enjoyable, and the Adams XTD accomplishes this with flying colors.

Price & Specs

The Adams XTD irons retail for between $599 and $799 depending on set composition.

How does the XTD tour differs from the XTD oversize iron?

Smaller head size and less offset.

Hi, Can you please give me the lofts for the XTD Tour irons (4-GW) ? Are they the same as regulas XTD or closer to the forged XTD? Thank you.

You can find all of that information on the Adams website. Here is the link to the irons from this article.

http://adamsgolf.com/XTD-Irons/DW-AL300.html#start=2

Actually the Adams website only has lofts for the regular XTD not the ” tour”version. In fact the Adams website has no info on the XTD “tour” model at all.

We don’t have the Tour information either. We never did a review for them. If Adams doesn’t have it posted, Googling for someone that may have spec’d them out is the best shot.

Hi, I have a natural draw and a pretty fast club head speed to my swing. I am looking to get into a new set of irons and the XTDs have caught my attention. Several other sets I have researched boast a distance boost but also promote a draw in ball flight. Im not after extra distance per say but I am certainly not looking for any extra draw to my shot. I haven’t seen any info on a draw or fade tendency with these irons. I understand that these are game improvement irons and are supposed to help with direction and some bail out on miss hits but do they have any directional tendencies?

I would tell you not anymore than any other offset game improvement iron.

I have the Adams A4 forged irons in the standard stiff shaft and usually shoot in between 80-86. I have had these in the bag for at least 5-6 years and in the process of looking to buy a new set. I have never demoed this set. Will the Adams XTD Cross Cavitiy in the stiff shaft be a good club to continue the good play. Thanks, Jonathan age-49

It’s hard to say how the two will compare. First, I’m not all that familiar with the a4 Forged as I’ve never played or tested it. Second, I think they’re going to be two very different clubs (nevermind what shafts are in them). From the looks of pictures, I think the a4 are going to give you a little more feel since they’re forged, and these XTD’s are going to feel closer to metal woods than they are forged irons.

Sorry if this answer isn’t helpful enough, but I can’t really make a fair comparison of the two clubs.

THANKS BILL….

I’m considering buying a set of Adams xtd irons but they’re only available in the stiff shaft at this time. I have regular shafts now. What can I expect to be different using a stiff shaft. On average does a stiff shaft hurt or help the casual golfer. Also another golfer commented on the tour version of the irons. How many do they differ from non tour irons I’d appreciate a timely answer because I was planning on purchasing them today.

As we always stress around here, it’s impossible for us to really make an educated suggestion on the impact of switching shafts for any individual without data. Rule of thumb is that the stiff the shaft, the more right your shot will be. Please note that is not always the case and/or literal.

The Tour irons are a smaller head, less offset, and less forgiving. Geared toward lower handicaps.

I used to be an avid golfer but over the past few years I’ve toned it down a lot. Went out a few times this year and I’m in need of a new set. Went to a few places and researched online about some options but, this set has caught my eye. I’m no rookie golfer but I’ve definetley lost my touch. Think I should commit and purchse the XTD set? Any information would be helpful.

These are a fine option for good distance, forgiveness, and ease of use. Best of luck!

I’m often amused at people asking if they should try a particular club. Bill Bush provides excellent opinions and this one is right on the button, but how would one expect him to tell you whether or not to try clubs? It’s simple. If you want to know if a club will work for you, go hit the club. That said, I am 64 years old and have a 3 handicap. I began playing Callaway X forged irons in 2007 and really liked them. In 2013 I bought the new Callaway X Forged and loved them. Three months ago I hit the Adams XTD irons (not the Tour irons) and immediately sold my Callaway irons. The XTD’s took the work out of hitting the ball – extremely easy to hit. The clubs are very workable. I hit my Callaway 7 iron 150 yards. I hit the XTD 9 iron 140 to 145. Finally, everyone needs to stop turning their noses up just because an iron is in the game improvement category. Many of the PGA Tour players are playing game improvement irons (AP2, Apex,etc.). Just go hit these irons, period.

Thanks for the insightful words. Basically, yes, people need to understand the importance of testing and fitting rather than rely on totally blind advice.

Just to clear a few things up, I do agree that there are better players out there still playing Game Improvement, but I wouldn’t put the AP2’s in the Game Improvement category. Yes, they have a cavity, but it’s not that forgiving, not thick and doesn’t have much offset. I would say the same of the Apex Pro irons. I would agree that the regular Apex is GI though.

Like you said, go hit the clubs and make educated purchasing decisions!

Bill, I currently play with TM Burner 1.0. I am 67 and play to an 18/20. I would like to upgrade my irons with a set of used irons (price). Your review has intrigued me, since I have never considered Adams line of irons. I can’t find any golf shops that carry the xtd’s to hit. In reading other reviews on the the xtd’s, my concern is they might be to much of a players club. I have refind my search to the jpx ez, speedblades, and the xtd’s. I would welcome your opinion .

These XTD’s are not a player’s iron, they are definitely game improvement. You are likely reading reviews on the forged XTD’s.

Bill would you recommend the xtd’s over the speedblades or jpx ez. Or is there another iron you feel is better then the xtd’s for someone like myself. Thanks

I can’t speak to either of those other irons. I will say, I’m generally not a big fan of Taylormade’s GI irons in recent years.

For my money, I’d look into anything Cobra from the past three or four generations.

Thanks Bill

Have had a set of these XTD irons for over a month and played a few rounds. Have to say they are not only long and forgiving but also very consistent shot to shot. I have the ozik graphite R shaft. They replaced Mizuno slot back MX17’s which I thought were very forgiving. These XTD irons take that to a new level. I like an iron to have a classic look at address, which these have, easy to square up and look good at address, neutral balance with no draw or fade bias. Love ’em.

Bill I am looking for irons that are at least one year old to save a little money on a purchase. I took your advise on trying Cobra irons. I found some amp cells and hit them. The were deffinatley longer with a higher ball flight, but not any straighter then my TM burners. I tried to find some bio cells thinking the next generation might be a better club. but there just aren’t any in the Seattle area. The only place I can find bio cells is on e bay. So my question is, do think amp cell or bio cells are a better choice then the xtd’s.

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I think at this point it sounds like you’re looking for a silver bullet. Based on the pursuit you’re describing, it doesn’t sound like you’re fighting light fade or draw movements, but rather a significant bend. None of the clubs you are looking for at are going to address that issue. The Burners and Amp Cells are both plenty “easy to hit” so I wouldn’t necessarily think the clubs are major contributors, and you will likely see the exact same issues with the XTD’s. My best advice would be to stick with the clubs you have, take a few lessons to figure out specifically why your shot shape is what it is, manage the improvements to your satisfaction, and then pick the search back up for the perfect iron.

Hope that helps.

ello , I have 41 years , I’m very competitive , I started playing in June 2015 , and has had a considerable evolution since ‘m HDC 19 , but I have changed several times of clubs because of money available investment , but I have read much about Adams XTD , made ​​a Fitting and the best clubs were the ping g30 , think I’m well served with the XTD Adams , thank you

After reading some of the comments, I was compelled to jump in here. I just purchased the Adams XTD Tour Limited Iron a couple weeks ago I and couldn’t be happier. The price was excellent. I actually thought it was a “too good to be true” moment, but was wrong. I’ve been hitting the Calloway X-Hot Tour Irons and liked them, but wanted something more traditional looking. These are very clean looking on the ground and really fit my eye.

I talked to a Taylormade rep who said these clubs didn’t fit the new marketing strategy of TM/Adams, so they dumped them to the secondary market, but he did say these were a heck of a set of irons.

Anyhow, if you’re looking for a real nice set at a really low price, you can’t go wrong with these.

The Tour Limited is an extremely different set from these.

Nice review of Adam’s iron

How easy are these to shape your shots? Are these a typical game improvement iron sacrificing your ability to fade/draw for distance?

I’ll answer by saying that if you’re playing a SGI or GI iron, you likely shouldn’t be too concerned with shaping shots. Not saying there aren’t exceptions.

If you’re good enough to shape the ball both directions, control your trajectory, etc then you will be able to do it with any club. It’s related to swing path, not the club.

Would you be able to comment on how these would compare to Callaway Diablo Edges?

I have no experience with the Callaways, sorry.

Can I bend my black xtd irons to tweek the lofts or lies

A good professional club builder may be able to. Best to speak with one in your area that you trust to see what they can do.

I literally have never been compelled to write a review before I played with these yesterday. I’ve been through more sets of irons over the years than I care to think about, including Adams; my son has recently been playing much more than before so I gave him my set of Burner 2.0s I’d been playing and decided to give these a look. Read the reviews, “two clubs longer, blah blah” and I thought yeah, I’ve heard that before. The price I got them for worried me; I was concerned they may be forgeries. Took them to the course yesterday without having hit them period. First shot I hit with them was a 9 iron that was dead on with a baby draw that completely flew the green. After 3 or 4 more holes I realized these are no joke; for me they are literally 2 clubs longer and I had to dial it way down to hold the greens. One particular par 3 I had never been able to reach without a 3 iron I hit 6 iron and made the green. I was literally amazed; these clubs are great. Just wanted to get it out how pleased I am.

I have owned the XTD irons now for 2 seasons and they are longer and ball flight is higher than my last set of older DTRs. I find that I need to set the lie, is it possible to bend these irons to be flatter.

You will have to consult with your trusted club building professional. I have never tried to bend a set of these irons.

I used to be an energetic golfer yet in the course of recent years I’ve conditioned it down a great deal. Went out a couple of times this year and need another set. Went to a couple of spots and inquired about online about a few alternatives at the same time, this set has grabbed my attention.

Adams XTD Irons Review

Xtra distance, xtra forgiving & xtra easy.

I’ve been using the full set of Adams XTD Irons for a while now.

I have over 10 years of experience in reviewing different types of golf clubs.

These are my thoughts on these irons and how they performed for m!

How did Adams add 20 yards to every club?  Slot technology and the XTD piston paired with the super thin face seem to get the job done.  Center of the face hits just launch up into the sky and go forever.  I appreciated that it was a consistent 2 clubs longer across the board.  I was hitting my 4-iron almost as long as my hybrid.  I felt really strong hitting a 9-iron 160 yards.  It feels good and gives your ego a boost.  The downside is my set only went to a pitching wedge which means I ran out of yardage at 140 yards.  I didn’t have a 120 yard club anymore.  My wedges don’t hit that far.  I believe getting the GW and even the SW might be required to keep this set playable in those shorter distances to make sure all the yardage gaps are filled.

What is the bottom line on the Adams XTD irons?  They are long, accurate and easy.  While some feel they aren’t the best looking irons, these irons will make you feel really good about your game.  Everyone likes to hit it longer, more accurately and do it with ease.  If you want to own the second shot in your game, the XTD irons are impressive.  They are simply xtra long, xtra forgiving and xtra easy.

Available online at eBay.com

Pros and Cons

+ Sooooooo Long + Very forgiving + Easy to hit + Solid feel on center strikes + Moderate off-set for game improvement irons

— Must order GW — Not overly attractive

Adams XTD Forged Irons Review

Published: 06 May 2014 Last updated: 26 November 2015

At a glance

• TG Rating Not yet rated
• Owner Rating 5 out of 5

What we say...

Unlike traditional forged irons, XTD is a multi-piece forging that boasts the category’s first-ever Cut-Thru Slot technology. A floating face and hollow design delivers a consistently faster face, adding forgiveness throughout. Tungsten weights in the sole optimize CG location. Better players who prefer a thin topline design and the feel of a forged iron, will appreciate the easy to hit playability of the XTD Forged Irons.

The full eight-piece set includes a 3- and 4- DHy, currently the top hybrid model on the PGA Tour. It gives the extra distance and forgiveness of a hybrid with the shot-shaping control of a long iron. A unique bulge-and-roll face technology improves shot dispersion.

Adams XTD forged irons review

Golf Monthly's Paul O'Hagan reviews Adams Golf's XTD forged irons

Above, Golf Monthly Technical Editor Paul O'Hagan gives his Adams XTD Forged irons review.

XTD Forged irons boast a floating face and hollow design - which helps to promote a fast club face - while the category's first ever Cut-Thru slots and an optimised GC location help add distance and forgiveness.

"We created a forged iron that's caught up to our legendary hybrid technology, breaking the mould of what's been around for 80 years," said Justin Hornea, Adams' Senior Director of Research and Development.

"Most blades sacrifice distance for workability but we're giving extra yards and improvement on off-centre shots."

The seven-piece set is available from 4-PW.

The XTD forged irons were released at the same time as the XTD driver.

Adams tested each driver head four times - at odds with current industry precedent - to ensure maximum spring-like effect while still conforming to USGA limits.

The aerodynamic XTD is also the only driver to feature Cut-Thru technology.

When combined, these two innovations provide face flexion and an enhanced sweet spot, providing greater ball speeds on both off-centre and on-centre shots.

The XTD family also features fairway woods and hybrids, along with non-forged XTD irons.

The XTD irons come with an RRP of £699 .

Adams Golf XTD Irons Review

The Adams XTD irons can be best described after the first impression they made upon yours truly after playing a few rounds with them: they’re by far the most forgiving set of irons I’ve ever used on the golf course. And on top of that, they also look awesome, with their stunning new-age design. Are you convinced yet? Well, let me tell you a little bit more then. The Adams XTD irons are created (designed and built) by a company running under the name of Adams Golf, one of the world’s top golf-gear manufacturers. Creating superior golf clubs is a modus-vivendi for Adams Golf and the XTD line makes no exception to that rule. Basically, the XTD are filled with high technology and outstanding features, being   among  the best game improving irons you can spend your hard earned dollars (from what I’ve tried until now, and they were a few ,trust  me on that). The black finish on the XTD irons with red/silver accents and the cool looking cross cavity technology makes them not only great looking, but it also puts their high-tech features in plain sight. For game improvement irons, the Adams XTD are from another world aesthetically speaking, when compared to their competition. And if vanity is not your favorite sin, well, let’s talk about performance: these irons sound like no other iron I’ve heard before.  The XTD sounds and feels more like a hybrid or a wood, hugely boosting confidence during your swings and offering tons of forgiveness on every shot, round after round.

Another cool feature of the XTD irons is their proprietary face-technology which dampens the impact, thus drastically reducing vibration, creating a soft and pleasant feel upon ball impact. As I mentioned before in the preamble, these irons are incredibly forgiving and since Adams Golf moved the COG off the face using the cross cavity design, the ball stays firm on its desired trajectory, increasing distance and accuracy in the process. The cast iron face is very thin on the XTD and this feature gives it more pop upon ball impact across the face, resulting in a significant increase in ball speed and more distance respectively. Bottom line, the Adams Golf XTD irons are almost ideal game improvement irons, making your game absolutely fantastic and enjoyable and that’s maybe the most important thing, taking pleasure in your work, don’t you think?
