33 Ways to Shape Your Launch: Meet the Cobra DS-ADAPT Drivers

When it comes to adjusting a driver to your unique swing, Cobra’s new DS-ADAPT drivers might just make you double-check if the golf gods have finally listened.

The latest release from COBRA Golf, a trusted name in golf club engineering, ushers in a new era of personalisable performance.

These Cobra DS-ADAPT drivers, alongside their matching fairways and hybrids, come loaded with game-changing technologies designed to help any golfer find that sweet spot of speed, forgiveness, and accuracy.

The foundation of this product line is FUTUREFIT33, a concept that brings an impressive 33 distinct loft and lie configurations right to your fingertips.

We’re talking about a level of precision that would leave even the most seasoned club fitter slack-jawed. In other words, this system is not just about tinkering for fun—it’s about truly honing in on what makes your best swing sing.

It’s all nestled inside the DS-ADAPT family: the LS, X, MAX-K, and MAX-D models, each engineered for different player types.

The secret behind this fitting breakthrough lies in the FUTUREFIT33 ADJUSTABLE HOSEL SYSTEM.

For the first time in a COBRA driver, golfers can fine-tune loft and lie independently, rather than just nudging both in tandem.

That means you can finally dial in the exact ball flight you’re after without feeling like you need an engineering degree.

And with COBRA’s SMARTPAD TECHNOLOGY keeping that clubface square at address, making each tweak on the spot—whether at a fitting studio, your garage, or the local range—feels downright intuitive.

“FUTUREFIT33 is a true breakthrough in metalwood fitting,” said Jose Miraflor, VP of Product Architecture and Consumer Connections at Cobra Puma Golf.

“Never before has any hosel system provided 33 unique loft and lie settings that can be adjusted so quickly and easily.

33 settings is more than four times our previous hosel system and more than double our nearest competitor.”

But it’s not just about having more buttons to push. The Cobra DS-ADAPT drivers also feature EXTREME AERO SHAPING to trim unwanted drag and boost clubhead speed.

Each model takes a slightly different approach to shaping, aiming to meet the performance demands of various golfers.

The DS-ADAPT LS, for example, is geared toward players with faster swing speeds who crave lower spin and more shape control.

Its raised rear section, pronounced crown peak, and compact 445cc address profile help smooth out airflow for those who love shaping shots on command.

For players who want a more balanced and forgiving club, the DS-ADAPT X fits the bill.

This 460cc option offers a stable blend of speed, launch, and forgiveness that appeals to a wide range of abilities.

Meanwhile, the DS-ADAPT MAX-K brings an all-new level of generosity, packing a hefty 10K MOI that cranks up consistency and smoothness.

The DS-ADAPT MAX-D caters to those who could use a bit of draw bias without losing out on speed and stability.

Under the hood, each driver in the DS-ADAPT lineup relies on an ADAPTIVE WEIGHTING system that fine-tunes performance based on loft and model.

Low-spinning setups like the 9-degree LS and X clubs position PWR-BRIDGE weights up front to promote blistering speed.

Higher-lofted options shuffle discretionary mass to the rear for more controlled spin and a more playable ball flight.

The MAX-K and MAX-D configurations embrace stable weight distribution to keep the ball in play, with MAX-D leaning toward the heel to encourage a draw pattern that stops the dreaded slice.

For players who still want to tweak beyond loft and lie, the LS and X models include external moveable weights to tune forgiveness, launch angle, and spin.

The LS, for instance, offers three separate weight ports that give golfers the freedom to chase a neutral, fade, or higher-spin setting.

The X model’s front and back weight positions make it easy to push the centre of gravity forward or back, adjusting launch and spin to your heart’s content.

The MAX-K and MAX-D opt for a simpler fixed weighting approach to maintain their stability and forgiveness across the board.

Each DS-ADAPT driver starts with a multi-material build featuring a carbon crown and sole, combined with a lightweight titanium frame.

This composite design not only gives you a stable, easy-swinging head—it also opens the door for COBRA’s H.O.T. Face Technology.

The result? More efficient energy transfer at impact and improved ball speed, even if your contact isn’t always textbook-perfect.

To put it plainly, the Cobra DS-ADAPT drivers are designed to let you precisely craft the kind of ball flight you’ve only ever dreamed of.

With FUTUREFIT33 technology and a wide range of fitting options at your disposal, finding the right loft, lie, and weighting strategy is no longer a guessing game.

It’s a calculated process that can transform your tee-box experience—one that might just have you wondering how you ever managed without it.

DS-ADAPT Fairways and Hybrids

Complementing the innovative line of DS-ADAPT drivers is a full lineup of fairway metals featuring the same innovative technologies as the drivers, including FUTUREFIT33, ADAPTIVE WEIGHTING with updated PWR-BRIDGE technology, H.O.T. FACE, and CARBON FIBER CROWN. The new DS-ADAPT fairway metals are also available in three models (LS, X, and MAX) to fit the full spectrum of golfers. Details of the three new models: 

  1. DS-ADAPT LS Titanium Fairway ($429) – The new LS is designed to provide the lowest spin and fastest speed in the DS-ADAPT lineup.  A titanium body is paired with a lightweight carbon fiber crown for significant weight savings to allow for 60g of tungsten (34g of internal tungsten and two 13g external weights) positioned low and forward to yield lower spin and the fastest ball speed of the 3 models.  A larger and thinner titanium face insert is optimized with variable thickness H.O.T. Face Technology for improved launch and faster ball speeds on off-center strikes. The LS is built with the deepest face of the three new DS-ADAPT fairways and features FUTUREFIT33 Technology, providing 33 loft and lie combinations for maximized ball flight tuning for the perfect fit. Each fairway features SMARTPAD technology to keep the clubface square at address regardless of loft or lie settings. The LS is available in 3W (14.5 o), 3HF (16 o), and 5W (17.5 o) models and comes standard with True Temper Denali Black 60 shaft (X, S) and Lamkin Crossline grip. 
  2. DS-ADAPT X Fairway ($329) – The DS-ADAPT X provides the best combination of fast speed and forgiveness of the three new fairway models. The X model utilizes a mid to forward positioned PWR-BRIDGE to reduce spin while also allowing for enhanced playability and high launch.  The shape of the X model is slightly shallower than the LS to promote higher launch and slightly more spin and is available in 3W (15.0 o), 3HF (16.5 o), 5W (18 o), and 7W 

(21 o), with the choice of True Temper Denali Red 50 (A flex) or True Temper Denali Blue 60 shafts (R and S flex). 

  1. DS-ADAPT MAX Fairway ($329) – The MAX is designed to provide the most forgiveness with draw bias in the DS-ADAPT fairway line and features two discrete moveable weights.  Position the heavier weight in the back for added stability or in the heel for added slice correction. The MAX fairway is designed with the shallowest face of the three models to promote higher launch and increased forgiveness, and is available in 3W (15.5 o), 5W (18.5 o), 7W (21.5 o), and 9W (24.5o) with True Temper Denali Red 50 shaft (S, R, A). 

The DS-ADAPT MAX is also available in a women’s model in 3W (18.5o), 5W (21.5o), and 7W (24.5 o) with UST Helium Nanocore (43g) shaft in Ladies flex and an undersize Lamkin Crossline grip (45g). 

DS-ADAPT hybrids ($299 MSRP each) fill out COBRA’s collection of new metalwood offerings and feature ADAPTIVE WEIGHTING for low and forward CG placement, H.O.T. FACE Technology for added speed and launch, a slightly larger footprint than previous gen DARKSPEED for increased forgiveness and consistency, and new FUTUREFIT33 Technology for industry-leading fitting options. The DS-ADAPT Hybrids are available in 2H (17 o), 3H (19 o), 4H (21 o), 5H (24 o), and 6H (28 o) with KBS PG HYBRID graphite shafts in 85 (S), 75 (R), and 65 (A) flexes. A DS-ADAPT Women’s Hybrid is also available in 4H (21 o), 5H (24 o), 6H (28 o), and 7H (31 o) with KBS PG Hybrid 55 (L) flex graphite shafts. 

All COBRA DS-ADAPT products will be available for fitting and pre-sale on December 12th, 2024, and will be available at retail and online on January 10th, 2025. For more information, visit www.cobragolf.com.
