Cobra has made use of the latest trends in driver design and construction with the new DS-Adapt series including a more aerodynamic shape for the carbon fiber crown and heel to reduce downswing drag and therefore increase clubhead speed. The other Cobra-unique and innovative feature that may need some explaining during a driver fitting is the 33 loft and lie hosel settings which offer the advantage of precisely filling the needs of almost any golfer.
In that regard Jose Miraflor, VP of Product Architecture and Consumer Connections said, “FUTUREFIT33 is a true breakthrough in metalwood fitting. Never before has any hosel system provided 33 unique loft and lie settings that can be adjusted so quickly and easily. 33 settings is more than four times our previous hosel system and more than double our nearest competitor.”
To improve the aerodynamics which is a quick way to pick up a mile an hour improvement in speed and that translates into more distance regardless of the player the crown and heel were built up make them more rounded and “slipperier.”
The 33 position hosel adjustment system is a marvel of engineering giving players and their fitters more choices than ever before.
