I got a call from my BIL yesterday asking about hooking him up with some sticks. He's a lefty unfortunately. He hits a decent enough ball, would easily play off something in the teens even though he hasn't played for years and never practices. I sent him up a Nickent Evolver driver a few years back and he loves that, so it's just irons/wedges/putter for him. He's not a serious golfer, so budget gear that will get the job done is the goal.
I'm actually thinking a set of Adams A12OS irons from rockbottom for $175US plus postage is going to be pretty hard to beat - https://www.rockbottomgolf.com/lefties/iron-sets/adams-golf-lh-idea-a12-os-hybrid-irons-graph-steel-left-handed/ - I almost bought a set a couple of years ago, but couldn't tear myself away from my trusty Nickents. Would anybody try to talk me out of that? Are the Adams stock stiff shafts super stiff? I'm assuming that the stock stiff shafts on a set of shovels like that will be on the flexy side of stiff because most guys who buy them won't be looking for super stiff shafts, but I could be wrong.
If I go that way I'll probably grab whatever wedges he likes the look of, but I might be looking for a putter if anybody has a decent lefty putter going for less than $50.
While I'm buying from there, I'm sorely tempted to grab a set of Element 21 hybrid irons with the whacky scandium shafts in them for $90 and leave them up at his place for me to use a couple of times a year. Did anybody ever try those out when they came out?
