Adams Golf unveils new Tight Lies fairways and hybrids
Adams Golf has today introduced the reimagination of Tight Lies fairways and hybrids with a modern take on an Adams classic.
First launched in 1995, the OG Tight Lies featured a trapezoidal sole – labeled Tri-Sole – for versatility. Today Adams Golf is building upon that history with its new Tight Lies fairways and hybrids, which not only feature the classic Tri-Sole but also revamped technology in design to make it easy to hit high, consistent and long shots from any lie.
Speaking on the new additions, John Gonsalves, Vice President Direct-To-Consumer, said
“Adams Golf has a lot of history in the game and we are excited to re-introduce the Tight Lies fairways and hybrids into the market.
Over the last 18 months, we’ve seen elevated interest for a recognized brand like Adams that provides great value for golfers looking to reconnect with Tight Lies technology, as well as new golfers coming into the sport.”
In addition to the classic Tri-Sole, the new fairways and hybrids from Adams Golf feature an extended face with a new face design that extends the top of the face in a bid to make it easier to hit off the tee while retaining the low-profile head design for optimal performance from the fairway.
Located on the sole of the club directly behind the face is a ‘Velocity Slot’. This open slot is designed to increase face flexibility, ball speeds and improve launch on off-center strikes.
While the clubheads also appear larger from address, the fairways and hybrids feature a low-profile design with a shallow face for a lower center of gravity to provide excellent launch characteristics.
Individual Tight Lies fairways are priced at an MSRP of $179.99 (USD) and are available now at www.adamsgolf.com.
Tight Lies hybrids are priced at an MSRP of $149.99. Both individual hybrids and Tight Lies bundles will be available on October 1, with the bundles ranging from $289.98 to $579.96.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Adams made some great stuff in the past, but I would have preferred the brand stay dead than to resurrect with whatever this is.

I hope the face is hot, the shaft ain’t cheap, and the balance, forgiveness, and distance that Chip Brewer brought to Adams before the sale to TaylorMade is still there in great abundace. It would be nice to have an old friend back.

Adams has gone from an innovative brand to a Walmart Box Set brand. Reminds me of Wilson.

You must be nuts to still think Wilson is a box brand with zero innovation?

You should hit the last few generations of Wilson players irons before you say they are a box set brand. Callaway and Taylormade make box sets as well.
