For the price, you can't beat it. Gets the ball up quick, nice flight pattern and not bad distance. For those of you who shoot in the 90's and say the club stinks, try slowing your club head swing down and laying the club on the ball. It will do what is was designed to do.

I own the original Tight Lies 3 wood, 5 wood and seven wood and have played them for several years. My observations are: Pluses: * They are easy to get up in the air and accuracy and distance are consistent. * Distance is respectable, but not spectacular. * Shafts are decent for OEM shafts. (You should not need to reshaft them.) * Some have said that they are bad looking, but I like the way they "set up". Negatives: * Off the tee, you must sind the tee almost fully in the ground. (On the other hand, this may be a plus as all you need is a broken tee.) * These clubs are virtually worthless if you have a fluffy lie in the rough. I have hit lots of shots that have the trajectory of a pitching or sand wedge. My next fairway woods will have a clubface about 1/8" deeper.

Model Reviewed: Adams Tight Lies Strong 3 Wood

Swing Speed:95-105mph. Experience: 5 years. This was a hand-me-down from my father. I cannot hit it if the world depended on it. The club head seems to be too small for me. However, on the rare occasion I do hit it solid, the ball is long. I would recommend the regular 3 wood. This club is 13*, while a traditional 3 wood is 15*. Go with that. Pay attention to whether or not it's a Strong 3 or a regular 3. My father didn't. If you're looking to buy these, look for something newer because there are so many better woods out there (even by Adams themselves). The Adams GT fairway woods are much better.

At 39 to 49 dollars, these have to be one of the greatest values in golf equipment. There is absolutely nothing flashy about these clubs but they are almost boring in their consistency. A nice smooth swing will send the balls high and straight with good distance. They don't make you feel as if you have to help the ball into the air which obviously helps to improve your swing. These will be the clubs in your bag that you don't have to think about or worry about. You know that you'll get solid, dependable results every time. Just make sure if you hit them off of a tee that you tee the ball as low as possible.

Model Reviewed: Adams Tight Lies 5 Wood

After reading a lot of reviews on fairway woods, looking for something that was just easy to hit, and after my recent success with the IDEA irons, I decided to buy myself the Tight Lies 5 wood. Plain and simple, this club has been no good for me. To start with, the stock shaft felt pretty whippy to me, and I'm a 135-pound wimp, so it must have really been a soft shaft. But the weirdest part about this club, and what I could not get used to was the face. The face on this club is extremely short, maybe an inch or inch and half high. About the first fifty shots I took with the club at the range I skulled it off the top and got the ball nowhere. Although I became a little more used to it, on a wet day you can't help but to sky the ball with it. Really the only way it plays well at all is off of really hard, dry ground. To cap it all off, the face has about as much pop as a chunk of wood, and really has no feel and gives no feedback. I shot further with my IDEA 3 I-wood (3 iron). The only thing this club is good for is to pop it up over some trees or something, but aside from that it was terrible for me and I just couldn't get used to the short face. Value rating just because I got it for $40 on eBay new.

I have used Adams Iron (Performance to Ultimate to Idea), almost the FAN of Adamsgolf (at one time, my entire golf bag was only using Adams clubs, including putter !!!). Always heard about Adams making the best Fairway wood. Just recently, bought this new Tight Lies 16*...to my GREAT disappointment, this club is not only ugly looking, its not sweet even when you hit the sweet spot. For a social golfer, I suggest trying some of the Japanese clubs like Maruman Shuttle A (the best to date for fairwood, I have tried), much more forgiving.

Model Reviewed: Original Tight Lies 16*

It's difficult for me to keep reading reviews starting out "I just got this club and I love it!". I've been using my tight lies for 4+ years now and I will be as honest as I can. This is a very good club for average players (high 80's and 90's). It is consistant and very difficult to completely mis-hit (i.e. duff). I think that's why so many 90's and 100's players like it. They always get pretty decent yardage. However, if you want to improve your game to mid to low 80's and below, I don't think this is the club. The flight on a well-struck ball is very striaght. There is little to no curve on solid contact. If you push the ball, it goes right and on pulls will go left. It's sometimes difficult to control this aspect of the club. I also think there are longer woods out there, either because of new technology or by hitting an actual 3-wood when needed. So... if you're just starting out, have difficulty making contact or want a good club cheap (less than $50) this is an okay choice. However if you want to improve past high 80's, learn to hit a 3-wood when called for and experiment with new 5-woods or utility clubs.

This is a terrific club. I'm 11 and I'm consistently hitting 200 yard shots w/ this club. It's not the biggest club, but you can hit it extremely accurately. If you want to buy one of these clubs. My reccomadation is to go to Play it again sports. I got mine for 30 bucks there.
