It's December, and in golf, that means off-season exhibition tournaments are in full swing, groups of friends are planning their warm-weather trips, and excitement is running high regarding new technologies for coming season. Whether you're looking for a new driver or not, it's always exciting to see where golf club technology is headed, and this year, COBRA was the first to make some noise by showing off their entire line of “big sticks” a month early. the release.
Last year was a successful one for COBRA as they released their DARKSPEED line on tour, and this time around, they chose to update their existing products rather than rebrand entirely. The main update to the family of drivers, now called DS-ADAPT, is the FUTUREFIT33 adjustable hosel system, which provides the most adjustability seen in the line of COBRA drivers. With 33 unique settings, club fitters can find the most ideal lie and loft settings for each player, an important part of the customization process.
“FUTUREFIT33 is a true breakthrough in metalwood fittings,” said COBRA VP of Product Architecture Jose Miraflor. “No other hosel system provides 33 unique loft and lie settings that can be adjusted quickly and easily. 33 settings is more than four times our previous hosel system and more than double our closest competitor.”
COBRA also added a fourth driver to their lineup this year, the DS-ADAPT MAX-K. This new addition is the most forgiving club in the lineup, offering 10K MOI in a 460cc size head. Each driver, including the DS-ADAPT LS, DS-ADAPT X, DS-ADAPT MAX-K, and DS-ADAPT MAX-D, is priced at $550 USD.
