Hey guys, I just picked up a Adams Tight Lies Fairway Metal 3 Wood for my Dad the other day. He was looking for a decent one, and I picked it up for $50 bucks (Canadian). This thing looks so sweet, and looks really easy to hit especially with it's thin shallow face. Problem is, I'm a lefty, and with a club with an older style such as this one, not many golf stores carry them anymore.

I was thinking of picking one up for cheap on eBay just to try it out. I have been getting some different results though on eBay, and none of the results look like the one I got for my Dad. Can someone explain the difference between these clubs - If there is any? Or if it's just a cosmetic difference in appearance? Thanks. (Pictures below)

eBay:



Club I got for my Dad (Club face appears to have more of a shiny chrome finish, along with the bottom of the club, and the crown has a black pearl paint finish, while the other one does not):



Driver: Nike 9.5° SasQuatch SUMO²
Fairway Woods: Adams 16° Tight Lies 3 Wood
Hybrids: Adams 19° Idea Pro Hybrid

Wedges: TaylorMade: 56/12 Degree RAC SatinPutter: Odyssey 34" Tri-Ball SRT PutterBall: Callaway HX HOTHome...

The tight lies you got for your Dad is one of the Original versions. They made a few different versions of these clubs and they have evolved into better and better clubs. They still work great for the money.
I use the Adams tight lies idea Hybrid and it's been a good club.

Here's Adams History: http://www.adamsgolf.com/history.htm

Here are some I found real quick:

I have the original Tight Lies the one on the first pic. Mine is a 7 wood and I can hit it 230 easy is just to easy to hit that I feel im cheating with this club. The ball get in the air very easy. The newer Tight lies I try, they are better and really easy to hit as well. Ill recomend you get the newer models out there of the Tight Lies.

      Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
