Tight Lies GT 363 Ti
I was out with my father while he was shopping for a 3-wood and hit a few with this driver indoors and was impressed. I looked into them further and demoed the Tight Lies and Titleist 975J at a driving range. I found the Tight Lies to perform as well as the Titleist and actually was easier to dial in. Took a little while to get use to the minimal weight of the Tight Lies. Started out duck-hooking the ball because it was so easy to get the club head through the ball. Had found them on ebay for $180. This proshop/driving range had them on sale for 40% off ($180). I figured I couldn't go wrong for that price and it is half the price of a Titleist, Nike, or Calloway. Have an open mind and try this club. It may not be for everybody, but it is a solid club at a great price. The club has a very metallic ping when hit which takes some getting used to. I is very difficult to hit a widely errant shot, but hitting the sweet spot adds considerable distance. I was easily dropping shots over the 250 at the range. I have the 9*, stiff, and even at that loft the club has a moderately high ball flight. The ball seems to carry extremely well, but you sacrifice roll-out. The 9.5* Titleist on the other hand had a lower ball flight with more roll, but did not seem to have the penetrating ball flight of the Tight Lies. There will probably be many good deals on the GT 363 since Adams has introduced the GT 363-R to take advantage of the increased COR for the next 4 years. The GT 363 has a COR of .830 the new COR for the next 4 years, starting Jan. 1, 2003, is .860 which is what the GT 363-R is. The plan is to return to a COR of .830 in 2008. Most PGA tournaments will remain .830. The only thing I think could be better on the club is the grip. It does not handle very much sweat on the hands. The club looks great and sounds different. It will definitely invoke the curiosity of your playing partners. Similar Products Used: Titleist, Calloway |

Adams 363cc 11 degree stiff
If you are in the market for a driver, you need to clear your mind and take 6 or 7 out for a spin, so to speak. Keep an open mind. I did and I didn't regret it. I took out the Nike 400cc, new Titleist 975L-FE 350cc, the new Orlimar 420cc, the new Cobra SS 350cc and 427cc, the Taylor Made 360cc Ti, the new Deep Red 425cc and the Adams 363cc Ti. I had enough money to buy any of them. The Nike was the most expensive and the Adams was the least expensive. Comparing each club on forgiveness, distance and feel, I came home with the least expensive club because it performed the best for me. The Adams 11-degree (the loft is more like a 9.5 or 10) was very, very forgiving and straight, and was the second-longest behind the Nike 400cc (also a nice driver, but not nearly as forgiving). The Adams was tough to NOT hit straight. Players looking for a club to work may want to consider the Titleist, but players like me (14 handicap) are best served with something as consistent and long as the Adams. I was simply amazed at how well this club worked for me. Before, my best drives topped out at about 250-260. Yesterday I tagged one that went about 285 (stepped it off) and another was a few yards less than that. Great club. Just because it's not one of the BIG-NAME drivers doesn't mean it's not an awesome stick. Customer Service NA Similar Products Used: Almost everything |

Bottom line, this is one of the best drivers that I have ever hit. It is very forgiving, so you dont have to worry much about where your ball is going to fly. It also has a little better distance than most other clubs I have tried. Probably the best looking club out there. Similar Products Used: Cobra SS 350, Wilson Deep Red 365, Ping TiSI, Titleist 975J |

This driver is great. I have hit the new taylor made 320, 360, the new Nike, and they dont even compare to the new adams. I hit this driver farther then any other driver. I am averaging about 300-320, with this driver. Plus it is very forgiving, you can grip and rip it with this driver and dont have to worry about where your ball is going. If you dont have this club, go get it now and out drive everyone you know...... |

Adams Tight Lies GT 363 Ti Driver
My brother (about a 7 handicapper) and I recently compared the Tight Lies GT 363 against our regular clubs. I have a Ping TiSI Tec 8.5 stiff and he has a Cobra GT 350 Ti 10.5 regular. The Adams we used was a 10 regular. We both found it to be about 10-20 yards shorter than our regular drivers. The trajectory is about what you'd expect for a 10 degree Ti driver. Curiously we both found it to be easier to get the ball up than with the Cobra but not as easy as with the Ping. The Adams is a great looking club, much better than the Nike 350. We were quoted an MSRP of $250, a bargain for a club of this type. Similar Products Used: See above. |

Adams GT 363 R-Flex 10*
This i an overall great club. I previously had a ping TISI but hit it horribly, think my major problem with its was that i never got fitted which is a must if u want a ping. As for the Adams i can't say enough good things about it. It's the most forgiving driver i ever hit and the distance is outstanding. I used to hit my ping about 220 on my best hits with a bad slice. Switched to the adams and my average distance is now about 260-270. If u have trouble getting the ball in the air definately go for the higher loft because even with the 10* it's still a pretty low ball flight, but gets tons of roll. I got it brand new off e-bay for $199 which is $100 less than what they sell in for in my local golf shop and anywhere else i've seen. In my opinion it's as long as the taylor made 320 i tried if not longer and a whole lot more forgiving. This club also looks great at addres and the head doesn't look bulky like some other big headed drivers. Customer Service Not needed any.
