Cobra DS-Adapt driver

Cobra Golf on the DS-Adapt driver:

Building off the original Darkspeed driver designs, Cobra again employs Progressive Aero shaping uniquely across the family.

• • The DS-Adapt LS’ dramatic shaping is employed in the form crown height, a raised rear aft, and heel aero shaping. Additionally, at 445cc, the profile is more compact.
  • In the 460cc DS-Adapt X, weight is balanced between the front and back of the driver head in a traditional profile for a blend of forgiveness and speed.
  • The DS-Adapt Max-K is Cobra’s foray into the ultra-forgiving 10K MOI space. Not surprisingly, the club’s stretched 460cc profile is the largest in the lineup.
  • Cobra’s draw-biased offering, the DS-Adapt Max-D, is designed with a low, heel-biased CG.

“Two big things drawing me to the new DS-Adapt X over the LS was that I didn’t want to go down in size to a 440 driver and I loved not just the new FF33 adapter adjustability and the ability to adjust loft independent of lie but the new front and back weights that would/could reduce spin while still providing a high level of MOI and forgiveness.”

“I played the AeroJet LS with a great deal of success since 2023, I had moved to this driver from my TSR3 for spin and launch reduction. I’ll start with my misses with the AeroJet LS driver, they were very spinny cuts or hard push cuts that that would leave me in in some precarious positions. Late last year I started to think about moving to a more forgiving driver that would also provide the type of ideal launch characteristics that I was getting from the AeroJet which is what drove me to pick the DS-Adapt X.”

“The sounds and feel of this driver is so good, I can’t emphasize enough how great this driver feels on both center and off center hits, it has such a great punching feeling when you center strike it. I’m really loving this driver and she is a keeper in the bag for the long term. It has been a short time comparatively with this driver, but it is one of the best I have ever hit. It checks all the boxes in the forgiveness, performance/playability, looks, sound and feel. I already have one guy in my group that went down to Cool Clubs and got fit into the same head and he is impatiently waiting for his club to get to him before his trip to Bandon later this month.

“If you are looking for a lower spin driver, but with forgiveness, I can’t recommend this one enough. I would also offer that if this is a driver you are in the market for, look at having a weight setup that can give you the best of both worlds.

“All in all I love this driver and it is my gamer and has been for a while now, no looking back. I love everything about this driver and am excited for the rest of the golf season with my tee game.”

“When I was chosen, I went through a few different build ideas and when I was told that I could pick any of the custom options from the Cobra site, I got very excited! I spoke to my local fitter that I have been going to for years now with my clubs and after we discussed a few ideas I ended up with the following:

Model: DS-APADT MAX-K Driver
Hand: Right
Loft: 10.5
Shaft Flex: Stiff
Shaft: Graphite Design Tour AD VF-7
Grip: Jumbo Max Ultralite Small Black

I went with the Max-K 10k because I am currently swinging the G430 10k and wanted to go all out on the 10k Cobra driver to see how it does against my Ping.”

“The Max-K driver is incredibly easy to hit and looks fantastic. When I set up with it at first, I was smiling because of how good it actually looked and how deep the face looks! Compared to my G430 10k, it looks like its twice the size but that is because of how flat the G430 10k is designed. I hit about 12-15 drivers with the Cobra and initial impression is that this thing is incredible in flight, feel and sound.

“The forgiveness of the Max-K is shocking. I picked this one to compare to my G430 10K and the Cobra is just impressing me more and more. The toe shots are so much better on the Max-K over the G430, its been really fun going back and forth with both drivers. I am glad to see others messing with the Max-K, the driver is already in the bag going forward.

” I haven’t had this level of confidence on the tee box in forever. I can really lean into this driver when I need to and get a few big swings out there. This last weekend I was able to play Sunday and I hit every single fairway that I used the driver on (7 times total), 5 of them were over 300 yards (we used 18 birdies and our scopes to double check) which I haven’t seen these distances with the driver in forever. The Ping G430 10K is still fantastic, but the Cobra is just out performing it. Max-K in the bag, it’s unreal! One friend has purchased a Max-K because of mine”

@Bridges

“It looks so good at address. The matte black top line blends with the carbon crown and face nicely. The bulge and roll of the face is not pronounced and the dark features mask it even further. I am not picky about shaping but this should appeal to the most discerning among us. Great job by Cobra on the aesthetics of the DS ADAPT line.

“The sound is just what I like. Nothing muted here. No carbon sound. It’s like the classic titanium sound but very powerful. No aluminum bat sound. It’s powerful yet pleasing to the ear.

“I have used the X driver for three rounds in ten days so I am getting to know it pretty well. I had one great driving round, one inconsistent round with several great drives and today’s round that was pretty bad. The good shots with the X are among the best I have ever hit but the forgiveness of the Max-K may be what I need. I think it’s time to see what the Max-K can do for me. If the well struck shots are close to the X but the misses are noticeably better it would be the obvious choice.

“The DS Adapt Max-K driver has been incredible. The Callaway Epic Max LS it replaced has been in my bag since it was released in 2020. The Max-K offers the same ease of launch, mid to low spin and neutral bias but the forgiveness across the face of the Max-K is ridiculous! The Epic Max LS was no slouch in that regard but the way the Max-K keeps the ball in play on bad swings is noticeably better. I see very little curvature with the Max-K, my pushed and pulled shots stay on line.”

“LS Driver – Stunning has been mentioned – hard yes! Best I can add is cocky yet muted. The dull carbon fiber top with black Cobra alignment aid is exactly what I want in a driver finish. Paired with the flat black Velocore+ shaft it’s the perfect complement.”

“Not to be ignored. The quality headcovers are worth mentioning. Design, stitching, colorway, loops and handles are all quality, well thought out, and functional.

“I initially set the Cobra adapter in a fade biased position (habit) and the LS consistently stayed right on me. The more I tried to turn it over, the more often I got the ugly tumbler. Once I was brave enough to aim left and push the ball the driver really came alive which got me thinking about playing a fade off the tee again.

“This driver is crazy tunable! I know I can make it consistently go right (unusual for me). The fun part will be finding a consistent draw setting for my swing and of course the straight bomb! I have several courses where one particular shot shape favors another off the tee and this driver can be made to do both.”

@BigBlue7

“Looks are everything you want in a “player’s” driver – simple graphics, great shape and, for me, a matte crown. Cobra nailed the aesthetics across this entire line”

“Sound and feel are interesting to me. I would describe the feel as extremely solid – borderline too solid and the sound is very muted. I don’t know how else to say it other than it just doesn’t sound or feel explosive. However, that sound and feel does not mean the head isn’t explosive. In fact, it is the exact opposite. I was VERY impressed with the LS driver. My stock ball flight is relatively straight and I saw that consistently off the tee. I played with the weights in the “neutral” setting and ball flight was a nice tight fade with a mid trajectory.

“For the LS Driver, I felt like things were still launching a little bit lower than I would have liked, so moved the 10g weight from heel to the back and instantly got the ball up into a better window. It not like I was hitting line drives before the switch, but I just wanted to see things peak a little higher. Moving the CG back did make a bit of a difference and produced a ball flight closer to what I am used to seeing. When struck well, the Adapt LS is a launcher. It feels great off the center of the face and was seeing similar carry distances to my G430 LST. That being said, I am still finding the G430 LST more forgiving – especially off the toe.

“Ball slightly forward, stance set up for a fade, and woah did I unlock something in this driver. Now when I hit a fade off the tee, I line up a good bit left and hit more a slight push fade – this allows me to maintain my positive angle of attack and helps mitigate a potential double cross. Well – the Adapt LS Driver apparently loves this. Beautiful, high (but low spin) fades that held beautifully against the wind. I never felt that the ball was spinning up to the point where the wind would start moving it back left. The more I swung, the more confident I became and the more free I swung. I duplicated a similar high fade with the 430LST, but it actually felt easier to do with the Cobra – the ping tended to launch a little too high with that swing and thus the wind would catch it more. If the Cobra allows me to make that my stock shot with little to no fear of a double cross, that could really be beneficial to someone like me that is scarred from a couple of wasted years due to the hooks. The sound and feel of the Adapt LS Driver gets better every time I hit it. Moving the heavier weight to the back makes enough of a difference to get it into a realm where I enjoy hitting rather than having it feel and sound a bid dead.

“On well struck shots it sneaks past my G430 LST, but that is mainly due to the lower spin. When I try to hit a draw, results are mixed. When struck perfectly, the LS Adapt can go toe to toe with any driver in terms of total distance. However, if you are missing on the toe, that is where this spin drops off pretty drastically compared to my 430LST and I saw some dive bombers. However, when I set up to hit a fade, it really comes to life. I think this driver is a fantastic option for someone who plays a high fade and wants to drop a few RPMS. The misses are steel penal, but the club head delivery with the fade just mitigates that snapper left and I don’t see many of the high weak right misses with it.”

Bonus Comment

jasman29 on the DS Adapt 5-wood: “The DS ADAPT X 5 wood, for me, has been the biggest surprise and I just can’t emphasize enough how much I love this club! I never played a 5 wood, never thought I could, and this has totally changed my mind. I love this club, I can hit it from many different lies. As an example, we were playing yesterday and on the last hole which is a dog leg left par 5 and was in the light rough, second cut, bit of a side hill downhill lie where trouble is right and I had to hit it around a tree to get it to the green and was 241 to the flag as the crow flys. I hit a nice high slight draw with this club pin high in the green side bunker. I mean I just have so much confidence with this club and there is no chance this is going anywhere EVER! It out performs the hybrid I was playing hands down and flat out performs from all sorts of lies. If you are in the market, can’t recommend this one enough, you won’t be disappointed.”
