Adam Tight Lies has been revolutionizing the way we hit balls along the fairway since the 1990s, as the manufacturer of golf equipment is easily recognizable today as a go-to wood for more playability. The manufacturer was the first to create heads in an upside-down design, creating a wood that can hit that ball into the air with ease. Today, Adam Tight Lies has brought out a new line of fairway woods geared toward people looking for a bit softer and lighter club that offers forgiveness if you get under the ball, and a velocity slot in the sole, providing more face flexibility out on the fairway.  Ever since the Adams brand was introduced on the golf channel in the mid-’90s, the original Adams has continued to be one of the most revolutionary pieces of golf equipment created to this day. 

Adam Tight Lies Fairway Wood Review

Adams golf wood has its share of pros and cons, yet how it works for you will depend on your skill level. Let’s first go over the overall design. With a smaller head, the patented Barney Adams tri-sole design still has an upside-down design in a trapezoidal shape to allow it to be played on a variety of lies while the low profile design lets the ball get into the air quickly and in a hurry. Since the head is smaller, slots were added along the crown and sole to give it a better sweet spot for increasing ball speeds and distance on the golf course.

When it comes to the pros for the fairway wood, this golf club is made for the easy swinger. It lets them launch that ball higher launch in the air, especially when they’ve hit the ball in a place that they don’t want it to go. When people are looking to get it out of the sand, it is surely the go-to wood. It also sticks when it lands softly on the green, so the golfer is fairly certain on where the ball will rest.

Another major point for the Adam Tight Lies Fairway Wood is that it is very forgiving. For beginners or people who have a difficult time out on the fairway, this wood gives more stability to the ball. For people who are looking for ease of use, the fairway wood is definitely one to take advantage of as they will love the feel of it in their hands.

As for the cons, again that is based on what the person wants this fairway wood to do. Since it is soft and lightweight, it doesn’t work as well for some people who have a faster, swing speed as they can be disappointed at the shorter distance that it offers. So people who are looking for power and distance combined may feel a bit frustrated as they can get the ball in the air, yet can’t get the length that they want the ball to travel. It also makes a dull whacking noise that is not pleasing to the ears.

Overall, the Adam Tight Lies Fairway Wood is great for slow swingers that need a bit of forgiveness in their wood while still getting out of those tough situations when the ball takes a misdirection towards the bunker. When the golfer gets the ball in the air with the tight lies club, they can expect a soft landing that sticks in place. Average players will enjoy the stability the wood gives toward the ball and will enjoy the light swing that takes little effort.

The Adams brand has continued to alter their new Adams clubs to bring us new and better designs for the game of golf. One of the most popular Adams golf brand club designs is the tight lies hybrids that have a shallow face and feature a new ghost slot technology where the crown slot is almost invisible giving this club a very clean look. Since Adam’s brand clubs hit the market decades ago, they have continued to be a top leader in the industry. 

As the manufacturer continues to make great strides toward designing new tight lies for their fairway woods, hopefully, they will be able to increase the distance that will make it appealing to some fast swingers. Bottom line, this fairway wood is a great overall club for people who need forgiveness.
