GolfWRX Spotted: Adams Tight Lies fairway wood

Published

on

After much teasing and speculation (Is Adams coming back!?) It’s official—TaylorMade has resurrected the beloved brand to bring one of its most iconic designs back to golfers with the new Tight Lies fairway wood.

For diehard fans of Adams Golf, this seems to be everything they could have hoped for when the company brought its social media presence back from the dead a few months ago with cryptic tweets and Instagram posts, but the new Tight Lies fairway wood is delivering on two tried and true promises—easy-to-hit clubs at a great price.

The new Tight Lies fairway woods will be sold using the “direct-to-consumer” model through a dedicated website, which happens to have a somewhat infomercially vibe to it. Knowing the team at TaylorMade, this was clearly intended to make the brand approachable and bring it back to its roots…all while non directly competing with its parent company TaylorMade. The reason I say “roots” is because it was through golf infomercials that Adams golf was initially launched with a single product, the “upside-down” design Tight Lies 3-wood.

With the launch of the new fairway wood and website, we reached out to TaylorMade for information on the Adams Golf brand resurrection.

Adams Golf is going back to its roots to re-introduce its Tight Lies products to all golfers via a direct response vehicle. Tight Lies provides game improvement benefits to golfers of all abilities looking to purchase an established brand, with proven technology at an affordable price.

Now that we’ve covered who and why, it’s time to cover the “what” when it comes to the design and technology.

Technology

For anyone looking for anything groundbreaking, it’s not here—and that’s OK. This club is designed for value and to be forgiving, and from all accounts it delivers.

  • Tri-Sole Design – Just like the original, the new Tight Lies utilizes the iconic “upside-down” head shape with tri-sole to reduce turf interaction and make the club easy to hit from virtually any lie.
  • Extended Face Technology – This little trick is really cool. The clubface has been expanded vertically by 7mm and then lowered right behind the top line of the head. This creates a 14% larger hitting on the face area compared to the previous generation according to Adams, while also keeping the center of gravity lower. This means more face above the clubs center of gravity resulting in a club that is easier to get in the air.
  • Velocity Slot – A proven fairway wood technology that helps generate more ball speed, especially lower on the face, where a lot of fairway woods are commonly struck.

Price, specs, and availability

The new Adams Tight Lies fairway woods are available now at BuyAdamsGolf.com for $179.99

It is available in both right and left-handed in a 3-wood (16°) and a 5-wood (19°) and comes stock with an Aldila Synergy shaft and Tour Velvet grip.

    Like a lot of golfers I used to have one of these back in the day and thought they were great for tight lies (pardon the pun). However, I think the sole design is no longer the best option and am now using PING G400/G410 fairway woods and hybrids as the soles are really flat and shallow which is a great design (in my opinion) for tight lies and hardpan.

    “TaylorMade has resurrected the beloved brand to bring one of its most iconic designs”?

    It would be better if you made it clear the “its” in this sentence does not refer to TaylorMade.

    As expected, it’s their value line.

Testing Lorem Ipsum

Published

on


What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
