Adams Tight Lies Original Strong 5W Golf Fairway Woods - Reviews

On 2004-02-09, MN_mike rated this Adams Tight Lies Original Strong 5W a 3...(2771)



Purchase: Age: 28 Hndcp: 14 Received as a gift. Didn't have to pay a thing (and very glad I didn't have to pay for it!) Got the stiff graphite shaft.
Pros: I had heard good things about these clubs and how easy they were to hit. It was easy to hit from a perfect fairway lie. That was it! About 210 yards when hit from a perfect lie.
Cons: The sole of this club aids in digging into the turf. Probably to aid those who try to "scoop" their fairway woods. I hit down with my fairway woods already, and this caused me to take HUGE divots. The slim profile of these clubs makes it difficult to hit an accurate tee shot with them (pop ups), and also causes pop ups out of the rough if your ball is sitting up.
Quality: Quality was actually very good for an inexpensive club. The shaft had a good flex to it, quality Lamkin grip. Good headcover. Finish on the clubhead was durable with a stainless steel sole plate.

Review Summary: This is a good quality club, however, it is probably best suited for beginners and high handicaps. The sole design doesn't work if you already hit down like you're supposed to with fairway woods. I prefer a deeper faced fairway wood for use off the tee as well (currently use T.M. V-steel 3W and T.M. 200 Steel 4W.)
