We Tested 3 COBRA Hybrids. One Was A Star. One Fell Flat.

COBRA hybrids have always been a strong point in the company’s lineup, especially for mid- to high-handicap players who want forgiveness and reliability. This year’s 2025 Most Wanted Hybrid Test featured three different COBRA models. One was a clear standout, one proved solid but not spectacular, and one fell short. If you’re in the market for a new COBRA hybrid this information may help.

The Champ: COBRA DS-Adapt Hybrid

The DS-Adapt was one of the stars of this year’s test and earned the title of Best Overall Hybrid of 2025. It combined accuracy, distance and forgiveness in a way that few other clubs managed.

MGS Score: 8.8 Accuracy: 8.9 Distance: 8.6 Forgiveness: 8.8

With an average carry of 180.28 yards, total distance just under 195 yards and one of the tightest dispersions in the field, it proved to be long enough and consistently accurate. Testers described it as “solid,” “very forgiving” and even a top choice for players who usually struggle with hybrids.

If you want a hybrid you can trust to launch high, hold greens and stay in play, DS-Adapt deserves a spot on your short list. The only real knock is brand bias. If you’ve been reluctant to bag a COBRA, skipping this one could be a mistake.

Solid Performer: COBRA KING TEC Hybrid

KING TEC didn’t quite reach DS-Adapt’s level but it still produced a strong showing and finished within the top 10. It offered plenty of distance and solid accuracy, landing right in the middle of the pack. For better ball-strikers, there’s plenty to like here.

MGS Score: 8.6 Accuracy: 8.7 Distance: 8.7 Forgiveness: 8.3 Avg. Carry: 180.89 yds Avg. Total: 194.84 yds Shot Area: 1,685 sq yds

The numbers show why KING TEC was good but not great. It matched DS-Adapt for distance and accuracy but slipped in forgiveness. Standard deviations in carry and dispersion were wider, which means results weren’t as reliable swing to swing.

If you can find the center of the face, KING TEC is a solid performer.

The Struggler: COBRA KING TEC ONE Length Hybrid

The ONE Length concept is always interesting but, in the 2025 hybrid test, it didn’t deliver. This model lagged behind in ball speed and distance, making it the weakest COBRA option this year.

MGS Score: 8.3 Accuracy: 8.2 Distance: 8.2 Forgiveness: 8.5

While forgiveness was respectable, the lack of speed and distance is tough to overlook. Its flatter launch and descent angle made holding greens more difficult and testers consistently saw shorter results compared to other hybrids. For most players, the ONE Length design simply didn’t translate well at the hybrid level.
