Just bought a Cobra DS-Adapt 2 hybrid, let's see what unfolds

Date: May 4th, 2026 8:16 PM Author: Paralegal Marandi (Death, death to the IDF!) the 2025 hybrid of the year according to mygolfspy tyvm (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49865307) |
Date: May 4th, 2026 8:43 PM Author: TurboGrafx-67 Been using the ds adapt max K and it's amazing. More forgiving than ping g440 max and way better feel off the face
Might have to look into their irons |

Date: May 4th, 2026 8:58 PM Author: Paralegal Marandi (Death, death to the IDF!) Nice dude. Cobra is doing amazing things right now.
I went back and forth between the 2H and 3H, but figure I can adjust loft down to 19 (from 17) in case I ever want to adjust my gapping. |

Date: May 4th, 2026 9:29 PM Author: Judas Jones That’s lofting up, not down (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49865535) |

Date: May 4th, 2026 9:30 PM Author: Judas Jones Thinking of building out a 12 degree one as my thriver/mini driver. 12 degree g425 has been good but I hate the sound and feel (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49865539) |

Date: May 4th, 2026 9:36 PM Author: Paralegal Marandi (Death, death to the IDF!) I don’t understand mini drivers unless it’s just a driver replacement like the 2H will be for me. When would you use it over a driver? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49865550) |
|
Date: May 4th, 2026 9:46 PM Author: TurboGrafx-67 I use my Callaway ti340 on super narrow fairways or dog legs. I could use my 4W (17*) for almost the same distance, but the mini launches higher and straighter with a more predictable flight off the tee
Also use the mini from rough to bump it back onto fairway if it's in a crispy lie or under a tree with a 1/4 swing when I need to stay low to avoid branches |

Date: May 4th, 2026 9:47 PM Author: Paralegal Marandi (Death, death to the IDF!) I see (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49865571) |
|
Date: May 4th, 2026 9:50 PM Author: TurboGrafx-67 Also would only consider Callaway for mini driver
Titleist and TM mini drivers seem LESS forgiving and no idea why anyone gets those |
|
Date: May 4th, 2026 9:51 PM Author: Judas Jones This would be strictly off the tee and would take the 3W place in my bag.
45.5" 9-10 degree Driver on Trackman is 290 max, ~265 average on a good strike.
43.75-44" 13 degree 2W/thriver is 270 max, 250 average on a good strike.
Use the 2W on tighter holes, holes where there's no great benefit to an extra 15-20 yards, holes that favor a draw. Generally about a 50-50 split on par 4s and 5s between the 2, other than the odd par 4 that forces an iron or hybrid. |

Date: May 4th, 2026 9:56 PM Author: Paralegal Marandi (Death, death to the IDF!) Nice man. Hopefully one day I can achieve this level of complexity. Right now my driver and 3w are unreliable so I hit a 5H off all par 4s and 5s. It’s a reliable 170 yard club for me but I’m hoping the 2H can get me up near 200.

|
Date: May 4th, 2026 10:00 PM Author: Judas Jones I can't hit a 3w off the deck with any consistency. Off the tee, like most mid handicappers, I get more benefit from the larger face of the driver than hitting a 3W. Hence the "2W" build as a secondary club off the tee. I hit ~10% more fairways with the 2W than driver in the 30 rounds I've had this set up, so I think it makes sense. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49865608) |

Date: May 4th, 2026 10:26 PM Author: Paralegal Marandi (Death, death to the IDF!) The 3w is such a shitty club man wtf is even the point with all these viable options. I feel like so many people carry it but very few can hit it at all. Gonna go throw mine in the trash brb (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49865701) |
|
Date: May 5th, 2026 9:43 AM Author: Judas Jones Yeah I don't miss the 3W at all, was hitting it less than once a round. Even the next spot in the bag, where I alternate between 3h and 5W, I almost never hit either. Rare exception is if I'm 225-250 out on a par 5 and there isn't much greenside trouble to worry about. Love my cobra king tec 4h in the next spot and use that a lot more often. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49866497) |

Date: May 5th, 2026 9:49 AM Author: Golf having a 3W you can hit off the deck is a value add in my mind. probably moreso than the benefit you get from hitting a slightly longer/more playable 2 wood. problem with mini drivers in general is unless you practice all the time, you have to learn how to be accurate and consistent with two drivers vs. your usual one.

Date: May 5th, 2026 9:52 AM Author: Judas Jones At my speed, an 18 degree 5W is basically as long as a 15 degree 3W (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49866531) |
|
Date: May 5th, 2026 9:58 AM Author: Golf I have a 18* TSR2 hybrid that I got as a replacement for my 2i/3i and I'm not in love with it though I do hit it well when I do. I was wondering that or a 5 wood. bring back the old days, i used to love my old king cobra 5 wood and 7 wood. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49866558) |

Date: May 5th, 2026 10:15 AM Author: Judas Jones I have a Ping G430 3h and cobra ltdx 5w that I swap in that spot. The Ping hybrid is really explosive but I find it launches a bit low. I tend to deloft a bit too much at impact which probably contributes to that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49866631) |

Date: May 5th, 2026 10:39 AM Author: Golf TSR I flush it at the range like its the perfect club. then on the course in various Situations i wind up hitting low ratty shit (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49866728) |
|
Date: May 4th, 2026 9:40 PM Author: TurboGrafx-67 They're crazy cheap right now too but I only see 12* in women's
Which might be ideal for a shorter shaft "mini" config
The ff33 adapter also lets you loft up the 10.5 to 11.9 or 12.5 while keeping standard lie
|
|
Date: May 4th, 2026 9:52 PM Author: Judas Jones I don't want to change face angle too much and add a left bias start line though. Would rather a 12 lofted up to 13 or kept at 12, depending on what the launch conditions look like. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49865587) |
|
Date: May 4th, 2026 11:48 PM Author: TurboGrafx-67 The whole point of ff33 is that it can change loft without any impact to face angle at all
That's what I meant by keep standard lie. You can also adjust the loft up and down in similar amounts and simultaneously bend the face upright or flat in increments of ~.7
Basically the ds adapt is taking all the guess work out of BUYING, while creating a possible downside of paralysis of options in the TUNING |
|
Date: May 5th, 2026 9:39 AM Author: Judas Jones My understanding is you can change loft without affecting lie angle with the adapter, but not without affecting face angle. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49866489) |
|
Date: May 5th, 2026 5:15 PM Author: TurboGrafx-67 Did you read that on wrx?
I think you're right... but that means they were fraudulently advertising before that "SMARTPAD design keeps the face angle square regardless of the setting."
Or just heavily misleading since you're right, there is no way it can look the exact same angle at address |
|
Date: May 5th, 2026 6:40 PM Author: Judas Jones A few ppl on WRX said that it's impossible not to change face angle if lofting up/down (but noted that there are adaptors where it doesn't change lie angle)...not 100% sure if that's accurate (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49868034) |
|
Date: May 4th, 2026 9:55 PM Author: Judas Jones There's always crazy good deals on cobra stuff. I sold my 2 year old ping i230s for $300 more than I paid for "demo" cobra king tours that were still in the wrapper. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49865592) |
|
Date: May 5th, 2026 9:52 AM Author: Golf 180. cobra is underrated because pompous dorks consider it a prole tell. their stuff is the same quality as Ping (probably better). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2:#49866532) |

Date: May 5th, 2026 5:16 PM Author: TurboGrafx-67 Man I am so tempted to try the 3DP x or MBs
But I have a new set of 245 pros haven't even unboxed |
