I like. Not sure how different from my CB2's they will be but they look good to me.

[MarkFromTheUK]

Average at best.

A set of irons that are aimed at better players shouldn't have a curved topline in the longer clubs. Both the 5 iron and the 7 iron appear to have a curved topline, so it's pretty safe to assume that the 3 & 4 will too. Topline is also a bit too thick, and the cavity graphics are way too fussy.

[WVP]

Love them. Might be my next set, especially if they are more GI than the CB2's as they appear to be. Top line is certainly thicker.

And if that's the case I agree with the decision to differentiate between the CB's and the A-Pro line. I'm not sure where that leaves the Redline irons but those seemed a little unnecessary to begin with. So their lineup will be:  MB2 - A12 Pro - CB3 - Redline - A12 OS. I think they just need to cleanup their website a bit.

These look awesome, but isn't Adams putting out a lot of iron sets. I can barely keep track of them.

[Foreleft]

While I can't say the pics do much for me, I will demo them before drawing a conclusion.

Wish they would move from the black - give me a satin finish like the set of a4's I once had.

[CannonAtShort23]

Everything looks great except the topline looks chunky! Damnit they looked so promising until I saw the topline!

[snowgolfing]

as an owner of the CB2's i really loved them!!! looks and all but these CB3's dont catch my eye well, i think they almost look to shinny maybe its the lighting or the camera but to me it just seems to shinny almost glittery. Another thing i loved about the CB2 was how the cavity LOOKED small most people i play with think its a blade just from first glance and i loved that it appears to have that small cavity, though i must say the cavity on the CB3 does not look small and it makes me sad   

overall i do like the new look and how the shape of the cavity changed, also the FORGED across the topline looks great!!!!

Adams Golf is getting closer and closer to being in the same league with Taylor Made, Ping and Callaway. These irons are drop-dead sexy in my prideful opinion.

I am ready to ditch my TM set up for Adams. Love the 2010 9064LS driver and these CB3 irons are an example of why the resale is better than it used to be for Adams products. The black series with KBS shafts are in demand. Golfers everywhere are talking about Adams.

I'm starting to see more and more bags filled with Adams golf clubs. I moved to the northwest a little over a year ago and didn't see anybody gaming adams golf clubs. Now they are everywhere.  

[boulAAYYY]

the topline look way to big for the sole.. no?

[mdb0103]

So are they supposed to be an updated and improved version of the CB2's?

[tomc262]

Look ok to me.  The wedge is always a big sight/mental/visual indicator for me and this does not look too bad...at least from the pics.  Need to see one in person and make sure its not a shovel.

[tbowles411]

These are NICE.  Very nice!

[cxissi]

Like them any release date ?  Specs?  
thanks gb

[gregcindyh]

those look good...I really like my Adams

[Sean25rp]

These look really good. Our pro is going to start stocking Adams in the new year so I look forward to trying out their stuff. Always gets a good vibe on here.

[puttagain]

What is the scheduled release date?

No, the CB3 is just a completely new model to fit in the game improvement category, as opposed to the CB2, which was a semi-game improvement, semi-player's model.  This is a natural progression of the CB series, and not a replacement of the CB2.

So:

CB1:  player's model, discontinued

CB2:  semi-player's/ semi-game improvement model, discontinued

CB3:  new game improvement model

A12Pro:  new model released last summer that replaces the CB1/CB2 going forward.  The A12Pro fits in between a player's model and a semi-players model, so, essentially, the A12Pro splits the difference between the CB1 and CB2 series.

[Agent Jim]

I think these might make it into a Monday dew walker bag. Yes I just came up with that to justify a purchase.

easyyy, feel free to come down to Florida and enjoy our 80 degree weather. Oh and bring those down so I can give them a shot.

I think these are the replacement for the a7 , gi iron slot.

[Agent Jim]

YAY, its back up so I can dream about them again. I hope I'll be able to order a single iron to try it out.

[HipCheck]

Some tech info on these....

Finish:
Black NiCr PVD which is the same as the CB2/CB1/Proa12.  Also, they've done more to help prevent potential finish issues with the black wearing off.  The back, face and grooves are triple milled.  The club heads are forged 8620 stainless steel.

Standard set is 4-Pitch but 3 iron and a Gap will be available.

Long Irons:
They've made some design changes for the long irons (3,4,5,), including  progressive sole widths designed to blend into the scoring clubs (7-GW).  Lower cg and more forgiveness and heel toe weighting.

Scoring Irons (7-G):
More bounce, sound and vibration control.engineered with bounce and camber for workability and control.
Engineered with ideal sound and vibration control

Shafts:
KBS 90 steel / Matrix Program

[Agent Jim]

Wow thanks. I was about to go with the CB2's earlier this year, I think this club will fit my game (lack of game) better.

[JLew27]

I've never been an Adams guy but having hit the CB2 several times and now seeing the CB3 I have to seriously consider them. Glad these pictures are back up!

Any idea when these will be released? Was the CB2 price point the same? I feel like Adams is easier to find below MSRP.

Also love that they brought back the KBS 90 shaft.

This will make tyhe CB2s much cheaper for me next season!

[Titleist_4_Life]

Adams is going in the right direction if you ask me

[Mikka]

I really like these irons......by far one of the better looking GI sets out there.  Be interesting to see how they compare to my Burner 2.0s.

no press release on the adams site yet

[HateTheHighDraw]

While these are nice, I prefer the look of the cb2. But the mb2 is where its at, best looking club around right now and surprising easy to hit and forgiving.  Loving adams irons right now, they add a little spice and uniqueness to a stale iron market.

Exactly my thought. If I didn't just buy my first house I would be getting a new set of Adams irons
