I bought this club to try a stiff flex 3 wood, and its stability, ease of alignment and forgiveness has replaced both my MacGregor Reliance Mid Flex 3 wood and my Wilson Deep Red driver. The RXi Bi-Matrix shaft is remarkably stable through the swing, even if your tempo is less than perfect. Even toe or heel shots stay relatively straight with decent distance. I have saved countless O.B. penalty strokes and lost balls because of this tendancy. Distances are very long; I've been able to get 270+ off the tee, and 230+ off the fairway. These models are discontinued and, unfortunately, the only ones I've seen at box-store retailers have all graphite shafts. That may not be a bad thing, but I believe the Bi-Matrix shaft gives this club its high marks for stability, forgiveness and distance.

A good club but requires you to swing very smoothly. I bought this club because I needed something to sandwhich in between my 1 iron and driver. Was hoping to get about 250 out of this. I get pretty close to that but you have to swing slowly. Trying to rip it produces some ugly results. Admittingly, probably the fault of the swing and not the club. All and all a good fairway wood for those seeking something a little stronger than your typical 20* fairway wood.

Great fairway wood. I used to be afraid to hit these clubs from the fairway. Not any more. I found this club quite forgiving, despite its small looking head (I believe it's 165 cc). Have never hit a three wood this long and this straight before. I actually liked it better than the feel of the Adams Tight Lies GT model. The above price is in Canadian dollars.

Admittedly, having not played these beforehand, the low price was the determining factor to try these 2000 model fairway woods. I'm oh so glad I did! The ST has a crisp, snappy feel due to the solid feel of the steel clubhead and the apparent stability of the True Temper BiMatrix Rxi shaft. In my opinion, the club, in either the R or S flex, is for mid to mid-high swingspeeds. Slower swings might find it difficult to get an optimal amount of distance/trajectory. The face is taller than the Original Tight Lies and therefore easier to hit out of deeper rough; the ST, like its older brother, remains easy to play out of "tight lies." The 13° 3-wood is excellent from the teebox.

Several emails to Adams regarding these clubs and other Adams equipment were responded to the next business day.

Love this club. Just bought the 3 wood as well. Buy one for yourself. A great bargain for what you get. Very forgiving and allowed me to get my first eagle ever on a par 5. Two 5 woods to within a foot of the hole. Very acurate wood.

Model Reviewed: Tight Lies ST Driver - 9deg, Stiff Flex

Of all the drivers I've hit, it's probably the most consistent. Because it's so forgiving on off-center hits, the pattern I get is more concentrated than any other driver I've used. For me, it brings confidence to the tee in knowing I'll hit the fairway. Some drivers I've noticed respond better when hit hard and some when it softer. The ST has good comprimise between both. I also like the 303cc head being a little smaller than the average larger size heads these days. The smaller volume, but similar mass as the bigger club heads, is easier for me to swing in a more consistent path.

I bought a 15* strong 3 wood and it has helped my game very much.it is both long and accurate.it was a great buy for only 100 bucks!i used before the taylor made supersteel 3 wood and it was accurate once in a while but i didn't have as much accuracy with that than i did with the Adams! this club is truly great and i'm thinking about going back to Dick's Sporting Goods and buying a strong 5 wood to put in my bag.these clubs are excellent and you should give them a shot!

Model Reviewed: ST Smart 3 - 15* - BiMatrx Stiff

I really like this club! The "upside-down" head technology from Adams makes it very, very easy to hit well. I have found that the 15* loft gives a higher than normal trajectory for a fairway club of this loft, but it is easy to knock-down when necessary, and quite easy to work right-to-left, but a little harder to work left-to-right (probably due to heel-biased sole weighting). Works well from the tee (low tee), fairway, and surpisingly well from the rough. It''''s a fairly compact head that gets through the thick stuff pretty well. The BiMatrx RXi Fairway shaft is a winner, strong and stable, but still plenty of pop! I''''ve picked up about 10 yds on my old 3 wood (mostly in carry). Overall, this is a very versatile and solid fairway club that I''''d recommend for golfers of any ability.

Customer Service

Outstanding! USAGolfMall on E-bay. Very easy to deal with, and super quick.
