ANNOUNCEMENT Looking For Testers – Cobra DS-ADAPT Drivers and Fairways
- Status
Cobra DS-ADAPT
Step 1 – Currently playing the Callaway Maverik Sub Zero 9 degree. Set to -1 with a Diamana WB TX 63 Gram shaft.
Step 2 – Playing a Callaway Maverik 3 wood. Project X Hazardus stock shaft.
Step 3 – I would choose the DS- Adapt LS Driver. I have a high launch and med-high spinning shot profile. I am a _+1 handicap. Would love to try the new cobra driver and give some good feedback.
See full article...
Step 1 – Tell us what driver you are currently playing? TSR2
Step 2 – What fairway you are currently playing? I don't, currently play a Tour Edge 3H.
Step 3 – Which driver head from DS-ADAPT would you choose and why? When I first saw the new adapter it piqued my interest. Max K because hearing Yagley talk about the how great the K is for all types of golfers on Off Course and how people can't miss with it made it sound amazing and I need that kind of forgiveness.
Edit - just got back from a golf mart that just so happen to have a cobra fitting event. Tried the LS, max d and max K. Hands down maxK was the best. Would love to do some longer term testing of it.

Currently gaming Cobra SpeedZone in Driver and 3 wood. I would like to test the DS-Adapt Max-K, as I need as much forgiveness as possible!

I would love a chance to review anything in the new DS adapt line from Cobra!!
My current driver is a Cobra Speedzone Xtreme.
A Cobra LTD-X 3W is my only fairway wood.
I'm 50/50 on the DSAdapt-X and DSAdapt-Max K drivers. If I had to pick one, it'd be the Max K after hearing lots of good things about it from @Jtubb17

Best looking woods on the market!

DS-Adapt X. Lower spin, medium launch, and added forgiveness. Sounds like what I need. I need max forgiveness off the tee. I play well when I get off the tee box well. When I don't I'm constantly scrambling to save a score. I need consistency and accuracy (Forgiveness) to score well. The tee game is the part of my game that needs the most improvement. I'm willing to try anything at this point.

Currently gaming a Titleist TSR-2 driver, Cobra Ltdx 3 and 5 woods and a Callaway Paradym 7 wood. Huge Cobra fan, have their hybrids and irons, would love to test the DS Adapt X driver and fairways. The X looks like the model best suited to my game. I need some spin but do not need the draw bias of the more forgiving model.

I'm 1-2* flat with my irons in fittings. Due to that, I'm pretty sure some F33 adapter fairways are making it into my bag one way or another. I'm also curious to see what it does with driver.

I'm the same with my irons. It certainly helps up the intrigue here.

Everyone should be jumping in for this! Thank you THP for the opportunity!
Step 1 – Tell us what driver you are currently playing? Cobra Aerojet Max
Step 2 – What fairway you are currently playing? Cobra Aerojet Max 3w
Step 3 – Which driver head from DS-ADAPT would you choose and why? Max K
I've been reading the reviews of the Max K and it just sounds special. I may be just as excited about the fairway wood though. The adjustability, especially the lie angle, is pretty freaking exciting.

Step 1 – Taylormade 2017 M2
Step 2 – Taylormade Aeroburner
Step 3 – I would choose the Max K to help with those consistent off center strikes.

1. Cobra Darkspeed LS 9.0
2. Cobra LTDx 15 deg.
3. Cobra DS-Adapt LS 9.0
Switched from the Cobra LTDx LS to the Darkspeed LS driver last year and found the Darkspeed LS to be a little bit more forgiving. It would be fun to compare it to the new DS-Adapt driver to see how the larger HOT face, internal weight changes to the Power Bridge and the FutureFit 33 hosel adapter combine to improve performance.
My Cobra LTDx fairway wood is the best I’ve ever played and although @MWard told me to never take it out of the bag it would be cool to see how the new DS-Adapt X 3 wood compares.

Wow this is such a cool opportunity. Cobra is definitely making more noise these days!
Step 1 – Tell us what driver you are currently playing?
Currently playing a Ping G430 Max with a a Tour 2.0 Black 75X shaft.
Step 2 – What fairway you are currently playing?
Currently playing a Ping G430 Max 5 wood with a Hazardous Black shaft.
Step 3 – Which driver head from DS-ADAPT would you choose and why?
All of these driver heads look great, but I would choose to test the DS-ADAPT X Driver. My miss is typically a hook/draw which is why I wouldn't test the MAX-D. I don't have a lot of issues getting the ball in the air, so I'd prefer to test something that doesn't create a high trajectory. I think the DS-ADAPT X is great fit with high forgiveness and ability to help get the ball up in the air a little bit. The blend of foregiveness and control seems like a recipe for long-term success!

Step 1 – GT2 9.0
Step 2 – Stealth 2 15
Step 3 – The LS model. I want to maximize ball flight with a little more launch, and a little less spin.

Dang! Wish it wasn't winter weather here for at least the next 2 months... I'd love to try and enter this.
Good luck to all for this amazing opportunity!

As a retired military guy playing golf five or six days a week, I have plenty of time to test and post updates!
Step 1 – Tell us what driver you are currently playing? LTDx Max 10.5, delofted to 9.5, regular stock shaft.
Step 2 – What fairway you are currently playing? LTDx MAX 3W 15.5, delofted to 14, regular stock shaft, and LTDx MAX 5W 18.5, delofted to 17, regular stock shaft.
Step 3 – Which driver head from DS-ADAPT would you choose and why? I would choose the DS-ADAPT MAX-K driver, since my clubface miss tends to be horizontal, rather than vertical. I have delofted my current set-up to promote straighter flight and would welcome a chance to de-link loft from lie angle. I do not need any help promoting a draw, since my predominant miss goes left, not right. My driver swing speed is 100mph, but I've had better luck with a regular shaft than a stiff one. Swing speed is roughly the same, but my ballspeed is down about 3mph with stiff.
For a fairway, I was looking at either a DS-ADAPT X 3HF or a 5 to replace both current fairway woods (sort of a Frankenstein 4W option), as the loft variations appear suitable to bridge my current set-up, which would allow me to add a longer hybrid to my bag.
Thanks!

What a great opportunity!
Step 1 – Tell us what driver you are currently playing? Ping g440 lst or DS Adapt X
Step 2 – What fairway you are currently playing? Tour Edge c723 15*
Step 3 – Which driver head from DS-ADAPT would you choose and why? I would choose a 9* max K to test something on the other end of the spectrum. I have always gravitated towards lower spinning smaller footprint heads. It would be great to see what a larger stable head could do for my game. From the reviews on the forum this one doesn't sound like its a high spin head either. The unicorn comments have me very intrigued and wanting to test

I keep telling myself to stay out of these threads because I know what will happen if I go in there. I’ll empty my walker
Going to have to snoop and hide my wallet
The app part really intrigues me honestly. I think it was much needed considering the frustration that could arise.
Your other comment….
