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.

You can expect quality distance and ball speed, straight and playable shot outcomes, and consistency. Go check this driver out.
✖︎ 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.
Distance Taking into account total distance and carry distance, our distance scoring is a metric ultimately telling you the total yards achieved by the club.

Accuracy Accuracy evaluates if a player’s shots with each club are above or below what’s expected based on that player’s skill level. By eliminating variables in player ability, accuracy determines how well the club improves a player’s overall score.

Forgiveness Forgiveness measures how well a club corrects for hits that are center or off center off the face of the club. A high forgiveness rating tells you that a club does well at maintaining consistency in performance when your swing fluctuates.

Ball Speed Ball speed measures how fast the ball is traveling off the face of the club. We eliminate variables like player swing speed or ability, so you can compare ball speeds off the face as affected by the club, not the player.

Fairways Hit We evaluate the percentage of shots that hit the fairway compared to shots in the rough. This shows the accuracy of a club, with a higher percentage earning a higher accuracy rating.

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.

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.
