It’s driver release season and one of the first companies to get the ball rolling was COBRA. COBRA has released its new DS-ADAPT line of drivers. They call this their “fastest and most fittable family of drivers.” If you’re thinking about a COBRA upgrade this year or just curious about what is changing in the world of golf drivers, here are eight things to know about COBRA’s new DS-ADAPT drivers.

10,000 MOI in the MAX-K

The COBRA DS-ADAPT MAX-K has reached the 10,000 MOI threshold, the highest MOI driver COBRA has ever produced. For golfers looking for increased stability, consistency and forgiveness, the DS-ADAPT MAX-K will be an option to consider.

Interestingly, the three other drivers in the lineup do not hit this 10,000 MOI threshold. Maximum MOI isn’t for everyone.

FF33 adjustable hosel system

COBRA promised the new line would be fast and “fittable.” To address the fitting component, they are using the FF33 adjustable hosel system.

This brand-new technology offers 33 settings to adjust the driver. If you really want a driver that feels like it’s made for you, the DS-ADAPT will allow you to fine-tune launch, spin and ball flight.

Have you ever heard someone say, “If I play blade irons, I’ll get better”?

To many of us, it sounds absurd but there are plenty of higher-handicap golfers who truly believe that playing blades will make them a better ball striker. The theory, I suppose, is that if you can master the most difficult, hardest-to-hit level of iron, anything else will make the game child’s play. It’s just like playing a video game on the hardest difficulty when you want to sharpen your skills and conquer the objective.

Of course, in our video game example, many end up frustrated. Throw the controller at the TV. Shut it down. I’m done.

It’s a safe bet the same logic applied to playing blades has led to more than a few thrown clubs and, for the most part, I’d wager few have actually lowered their handicaps in the process.

By comparison, blades are smaller. They invariably have less offset, thinner toplines and while the concentrated mass at the center of the impact zone contributes to better feel, the lack of perimeter weighting creates more inconsistency from shot to shot. With higher CGs, muscle-back designs rely almost exclusively on loft to get the ball in the air.
