The Adams Tight Lies is one of the most iconic fairway woods ever made. But can a modern shaft breathe new life into a golf classic? True Spec Golf, the premium brand-agnostic club fitting company, tests the performance of a classic 1996 Adams Tight Lies fairway wood by gathering baseline data before upgrading the shaft and grip. This process explores whether modern components can enhance the playability of iconic golf equipment from the past. The results are undeniable and show just how important the right shaft can be, even in a club that’s decades old!
In this episode of Retro Rebuild, we:
✅ Test an original Adams Tight Lies and capture baseline launch monitor data
✅ Head into the build shop for a complete shaft upgrade
✅ Return to the bay to compare the before-and-after numbers
✅ See how much performance a modern fitting component can unlock
The results show just how important the right shaft can be, even in a club that’s decades old.
