New for 2011 - Adams Idea Black CB-2 irons
by Dominic Pedler
May 2011

Sitting between the new CB-1 (currently played by Tom Watson) and the mega-forgiving Idea Tech V3 hybrid/iron combo package (we reported on in Issue 98), the CB2 is a large cavity-back iron forged from soft 8620 carbon steel and finished once again in Adams’ distinctive, anti-glare black nickel chromium.

As you’d expect with this company, the CB-2s are ‘feature-packed’ with everything from a vibration-absorbing cavity construction (which delivered a great feel in our own tests), a 4-way sole camber to reduce turf interaction, and progressive offset to optimise trajectory and distance from the 4-iron right through to the wedges. The set features newly conforming milled grooves.
