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

Date: May 4th, 2026 8:43 PM Author: Carmine vibrant step-uncle's house 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: aromatic gaming laptop dilemma 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 9:36 PM Author: aromatic gaming laptop dilemma 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=2Vannesa#49865550) |
|
Date: May 4th, 2026 9:46 PM Author: Carmine vibrant step-uncle's house 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 9:50 PM Author: Carmine vibrant step-uncle's house 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: apoplectic galvanic french chef 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: aromatic gaming laptop dilemma 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. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2Vannesa#49865595) |
|
Date: May 4th, 2026 10:00 PM Author: apoplectic galvanic french chef 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=2Vannesa#49865608) |

Date: May 4th, 2026 10:26 PM Author: aromatic gaming laptop dilemma The 3w is such a shitty club man wtf is even the point with all these viable options.

|
Date: May 5th, 2026 9:43 AM Author: apoplectic galvanic french chef 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=2Vannesa#49866497) |

But they put 0 effort into making woods/hybrids more forgiving or adding heel/edge relief for sweepers (ie majority of amateurs) |

Date: May 5th, 2026 9:49 AM Author: Appetizing Bipolar Ladyboy 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 7th, 2026 1:59 PM Author: Appetizing Bipolar Ladyboy it's probably more likely my swing. irons actually are probably the shafts because I'm getting too fucking old to play 7.0 flex any more but my hybrids and 3w have all similar specs to stuff I've demoed and gotten best results from.

|
Date: May 7th, 2026 2:08 PM Author: Appetizing Bipolar Ladyboy I have a demo t100 5 iron with a graphite shaft in the bag currently. that's partially an experiment and also because the head of my i500 5 iron fell off twice in two seasons and feels wonky now.

|
Date: May 4th, 2026 9:40 PM Author: Carmine vibrant step-uncle's house 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: apoplectic galvanic french chef 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=2Vannesa#49865587) |
|
Date: May 4th, 2026 11:48 PM Author: Carmine vibrant step-uncle's house 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: apoplectic galvanic french chef 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=2Vannesa#49866489) |
|
Date: May 5th, 2026 5:15 PM Author: Carmine vibrant step-uncle's house 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: apoplectic galvanic french chef 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=2Vannesa#49868034) |
|
Date: May 7th, 2026 2:05 PM Author: Carmine vibrant step-uncle's house There is some weird nuance between maintaining a square face and maintaining a visually consistent face angle, that you need a Mensa IQ to grapple with (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2Vannesa#49872511) |

|
Date: June 13th, 2026 9:20 AM Author: apoplectic galvanic french chef I just bought a demo 12 degree DSA Max K on a 43.5" shaft to test out as a thriver, see if it can be out my G425 Max with 35g back weight. Unfortunately they don't seem to have after market back weights above 18g for the DSA, so I might need to add a bit of lead tape to get the swing weight where I want. I hit it with the 10g stock weight at 43.5" and it felt like swinging a ladies club. Feels way less solid and stable than the Ping but that was with the swing weight all fucked up. Still flew very straight with tight dispersion and spin tolerance (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863654&forum_id=2Vannesa#49935438) |

Wasn't planning to get new wedges until reading about A+ grind with narrower sole and smoother camber than K. Should be even more forgiving around greens than my LBK.08 with heel and edge relief
Ended up with 54.10s jet black, and 60.08a+ raw finish and hand ground square leading edge. Chose pink ribbon for every single color option including pink flight lines and character stamping |

I haven't seen much difference between any of the last few vokey models. I'd rather play my original 200 series 54* chrome and 60* raw finish combo plus the Cleveland 588 49* except the groves are worn to living shit and also are non-conforming (I doubt it matters for anything I do). |

I replaced my elyte heavenwood with the older g440 7w to get better dispersion and forgivenes. Callaway seemed more forgiving on paper with smart sole design but it's really just a bandaid for chunking and doesn't improve off-center strikes imo |
