Cobra unveils new DS-Adapt fairway woods and hybrids

Published

on

Cobra has today unveiled its full lineup of new fairway metals featuring technologies such as 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. 

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 60 grams of tungsten (34 grams of internal tungsten and two 13-gram external weights) positioned low and forward in design to yield lower spin and the fastest ball speed of the three models.

A larger and thinner titanium face insert is optimized with variable thickness H.O.T. Face Technology in a bid to provide 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 in design 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 degrees), 3HF (16 degrees), and 5W (17.5 degrees) models and comes standard with True Temper Denali Black 60 shaft (X, S) and Lamkin Crossline grip. 

DS-Adapt X Fairway ($329)

Per Cobra, 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 in design to promote higher launch and slightly more spin and is available in 3W (15.0 degrees), 3HF (16.5 degrees), 5W (18 degrees), and 7W (21 degrees), with the choice of True Temper Denali Red 50 (A-flex) or True Temper Denali Blue 60 shafts (R and S-flex).

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. 

Players can choose to 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 in a bid to promote higher launch and increased forgiveness, and is available in 3W (15.5 degrees), 5W (18.5 degrees), 7W (21.5 degrees), and 9W (24.5 degrees) with True Temper Denali Red 50 shaft (S, R, A). 

DS-Adapt Hybrids ($299 each

Rounding out Cobra’s lineup is their new DS-Adapt hybrids, which 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 degrees), 3H (19 degrees), 4H (21 degrees), 5H (24 degrees), and 6H (28 degrees) 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 degrees), 5H (24 degrees), 6H (28 degrees), and 7H (31 degrees) with KBS PG Hybrid 55 (L) flex graphite shafts.

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

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.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
