Adams introduce new Tight Lies fairways and hybrids
5 Adams Golf have launched new Tight Lies fairway woods and hybrid featuring the company’s fifth generation of its award-winning Slot Technology.
In contrast to previous models designed with both a sole slot and a crown slot for maximum performance, these 2015 products are enhanced uniquely by new Ghost Slot Technology, which masks the crown slot to create a clean look at address.
The patented Ghost Slot Technology is a new crown slot that is nearly invisible and features a refined “barbell” cut-thru slot design, which reduces stress on the face while creating even faster ball speeds and higher launch than previous slot iterations.
Hallmark features used to create the first ever Tight Lies hybrid”
Also critical to the overall identity and success of the new Tight Lies is its signature “upside-down head shape” and tri-sole, which help separate it from other fairway woods. These hallmark features are being used to create the first ever Tight Lies hybrid.
For the first time, the marque features that made Tight Lies so successful and so easy-to-hit – the upside down shaping and the low-profile design which produce a lower CG and higher launch – are now being put to use in a hybrid.
Another new addition to the Tight Lies family is the Tight Lies Titanium fairway wood, featuring a Titanium face and crown with a stainless steel sole – boasting the lowest CG ever in an Adams fairway wood.
By using a titanium construction and the new Ghost Slot Technology, Adams has created a fairway wood that reaches the USGA’s limit on spring-like effect.
The results are a fairway wood with the playability of Tight Lies, but horsepower that will rival other fairway woods on the market.
