King Tec + F33 may be able to knock out my Super Hybrid that goes left a little more than I'd like.
King Tec 5H at my 4i gap, Adapt 6H at my 5i gap... hmmm.... Hate waiting until mid-March, though.

Here they are! The only decision for me is whether to have only 1 or go with 2. The shaping for me is perfect and love the weighting system in these. Paired with the FF33 they are going to be able to be so dialed in and perfect.
Got it. I found the Darkspeed and the last King Tec to be quite close with the King Tec spinning a bit more but DS launching higher.
So happy we have choices for player needs and they all come with FF33 to really tune and gap it.
The previous King Tec with the heavy weight at back and toe was as anti hook as anything ever. Now with the addition of FF33, I'd wager there's a lot here you'll like.
Like what they have done with the re-shaping of this, and the new adapter being in these is perfect.
Lot of loft options which I love to see

When we were hearing their presentation for the 2025 lineup at the Morgan Cup, we were talking through the DS Adapt lines, and Jose mentioned that the DS Adapt Hybrid was getting a larger footprint over what the Darkspeed had before. This kinda bummed me out because I absolutely LOVE the size and shape of the Darkspeed hybrid.
....He then pulls up the reason is because they are retooling the King Tec to be that size/shape now with the adjustability / weights and after seeing them I got so damn excited. the Cobra hybrids have been an unexpected bright spot for me that have made some of my past hybrids that I absolutely loved, obsolete. I cannot wait to get a new King Tec in my bag.

Tec X One please. For someone who struggles with hybrids, i can't think of another setup that would be better for me to try than a One Length hybrid. The profile of these looks so good, they look fast and that face on the King Tec just screams smash some golf balls!

I really like the deeper face, squarer toe and the FF33 in these. My goodness these MC guys are going to get dialed in.
I’ve been hanging on happily to the OG 2 hybrid. Between the new look and the future fit adapter, it’s a serious risk of finally getting bounced out of the bag.

That's music to my ears. I have worked on my swing a lot to try to straighten things up, but hybrids always feel so draw biased I still can't make it work. I'm pretty excited about this one though. I'd love to have a reliable hybrid in the bag, so maybe this'll be the one.

I'm pretty excited about this one, especially with the addition of FF33. Being able to adjust the lie angle I think will be a huge help. I always feel like most hybrids are too upright for me and I have to try to adjust my stance and swing for one club, which doesn't end well for me. lol
I can't wait to try this one. FF33 is just so freaking cool and I think it's going to be really helpful for people like me that struggle with hybrids and fairway woods.
Yes, the King Tec 23 and the Darkspeed hybrids were very similar in shape and size with the King Tec being slightly larger, for me the Darkspeed definitely launches a bit lower and spins much less (at least in the 17 degree) thus why it produced faster ball speeds and longer carry distances although both were really good hybrids, there seems to be bigger differences between the 25 King Tec and the DS adapt hybrids but we'll know for sure once we get to hit them both and the FF33 adapter looks to be game changing.
And now add in FF33. They are going to be SO GOOD.
I think that was a great call to link those lines together for OL this go around.
Without hitting them, I'd expect the King Tec hybrids to launch a bit lower than the DS Adapts. I am almost thinking of going DS Adapt 3h and King tec 4h. I'll have to get some time in as well because these make the decision between 5w and hybrid a bit harder for me.
That is where my head is at, just down a step. DS Adapt in the 4H and King Tec in the 5H. My challenge is I also really enjoy gaming a 6h so I am either then jumping back models, which seems weird to my feeble mind or finding the right 6 iron I can launch.
with the FF33 on there, no reason the King Tec wouldn't work for both 5 and 6h I would think. Or even DS adapt 4 and 5, and then King tec 6.
The 1st gen was an incredible hybrid and already something of a rocket launcher. This new profile looks really good and I can only imagine how it might nuke the ball when the FF33 gets dialed in.
So are you suggested a King Tec 5H, just simply loft it all the way up to serve as a 6h?
Yea the king tec irons 6i for reference is 26*. The King Tec hybrid 5h is 25, so you'd be able to get it up to 27*. Then just get it cut a little shorter and boom, 6h. lol

The first KT hybrid was a thing of beauty and ALMOST got me to buy my first hybrid ever. These look even better and that squared front is looking reallllll good! These are going to get a lot of play from the MC guys I'd imagine!
