COBRA DS-Adapt LS

9.9 overall

The Bottom Line

Year after year, a COBRA driver performs exceptionally well in our Most Wanted Testing. In most cases, they excel at distance. In 2025, COBRA DS-Adapt LS is the best driver for mid swing speed golfers. If your swing speed is between 90-105 mph, DS-Adapt LS offers all around performance - distance, accuracy, and forgiveness. It places in the top 3 for each of our scoring categories. With movable weights and COBRA's FutureFit33 adaptor, you can dial in this driver to meet your needs.

👍 Buy This If

You want all around performance: For most golfers, distance and accuracy alone are two selling points. Excelling in distance, accuracy and forgiveness doesn’t happen often in our driver testing. However, COBRA DS-Adapt LS crushes this notion in our mid swing speed driver evaluation. It offers all around performance. You can expect quality distance and ball speed, straight and playable shot outcomes, and consistency. Go check this driver out.

👎 Don’t Buy This If

✖︎ You are skeptical about COBRA drivers: In our mid swing speed evaluation, it is hard to find a con for the COBRA DS-Adapt LS. It ranks in the top 3 for each scoring category. Yet, some of you might be hesitant to try COBRA. This driver and several others in their DS-Adapt lineup are worth trying out. Perhaps, it is time to put your skepticism aside and give a COBRA driver a try.

      I love these tests. Real world results that are not influenced by advertisers. With all the hype on Mini-Drivers, is there a plan to conduct a Head-to-Head or Best Mini-Driver test? I would love to see how the Mini’s compare to each other in your testing.

      The article states “It places in the top 3 for each of our scoring categories.”. Then the break outs show this driver as 7th in distance, 8th in accuracy and 3rd in forgiveness. I hope I’m misinterpreting something.

      Just came across this when looking at the Cobra drivers and I’m a bit confused too and where it’s ranks in each category. Maybe I’m also misreading something.
