 Original Adams Tight Lies fairway woods 26 of 27 people found this review helpful.
Ok, lets face it--these clubs have a face only a mother could love. They are plain, battle-ship gray, and kinda weird looking--oh yeah, and they hit the ball like nobody's business! Adams started something with these clubs. They are practically giving them away on eBay now, because there are lots of shinier new toys to play with ... but odd how, with 5 bags full of clubs, I keep pulling out my ugly little Adams again and again, and even assembled a set to keep in my car for impromptu golf (not much of a loss $-wise if they get stolen). Swing easy, and they hit the ball FOR you. I am a mid-handicapper (80's), with an average swing speed. Tee them down very low for par 3's or tight fairways, or from anywhere else .... and they are a cure for the fairway blues ..... Lets put it this way--if I had to suggest a fairway wood for a beginner golfer, the Adams original Tight Lies would be it. The 3 wood (13*) hits the ball so far, so straight, so easy, I think about 70% of beginning golfers would hit this waaaay better than their driver. So grab a few of these pathetic looking little beasties for a song on eBay and beat the socks off your Callaway swinging friends!

I met a guy on the course and the starter teamed us up on a cart. He had an adams strong 3 and offered to let me hit it. I looked at it and it was just like on the infomercials. I hit it in good grass so I wouldn't scratch it and the ball flew. The 200+ yard distanceand 7 iron trajectory was wild.
A few months later the local Play it AgainSports had some that had just come in. They were demos at $49 for steel shaft, and $59 for graphite. They were sticking up out of trash barrels. I spotted a steel shafted model that had the paint wore off of the top from people hitting under the ball. I asked the guy that worked there if he would knock a little off the price. I had bought from him before and he knew me, so he said yeah, I could have it for $30. He couldn't believe it looked that bad.
That is just what I wanted. When I get out of bounds at my home course, I am usually on gravel, cart path, rocks, etc. This club I couldn't hurt.
When I first tried it my ball was in some light rocks outside of a fairway bunker and I swung and the ball and topped it. On the next couple of tries I couldn't hit the ball.
After a little while I remembered that when I hit the other guys Adams I swung easy so as not to scratch the club. Well I tried that and WHOOOOOOSH there it went.
remember " SWING EASY, GOOD CONTACT, LET THE CLUB DO THE WORK" . If you try to kill it, you'll never hit the club correctly.
I hit mine about 220 yards, with a high trajectory of a short iron. On long 500 yard par 5's I hit a driver and the Adams. If I'm not on the green in 2, I'm close enough for a short chip. Even on dry hard greens they don't roll or bounce very far.
Try one of these clubs, you'll like it . They are cheap on E-bay ,so there is no excuse.
LAter,
Cwomac
