Sometimes we use the adjective form (tight) as the adverb (tightly).
"He held his hand tight on my arm."
In the US at least, this sounds natural and many native speakers would say it, even though it is (prescriptively) grammatically incorrect.
This works for other adjective/adverb pairs as well.
Examples:
She spoke nice and slow. (slowly)
Don't treat her bad. (badly)
