COBRA FUTUREFIT33 // Greatest Tech Advancement in 10 Years?!?!

[@wigib2]

I don't quite understand all the hate this adapter is getting online. If it's not for you, no one is forcing you to play with all the settings. Put it at your typical setting and forget it. But if you like to tinker or better yet you go and get fit, this presents the options to dial things in to a finer degree than previously possible. Where's the harm in that??

[@bloombeards812]

I agree completely! I have seen a lot of tubers hating on this new adapter for some reason which makes no sense. It’s always better to have options that doesn’t mean you have to use them like you said. That’s one of my biggest complaints with my Sim too is when I turn the loft up or down it automatically opens or closes the face. This adapter will allow people to change the loft and lie independently, which for someone like me will help a ton. Actually surprised it took this long for a company to do this. Within the next few years, my bet is that every company will have an adapter where you can change loft and Y angle independently of each Other…

[@krusher74]

Its seem to be the modern age! the ranting of old men against moves forward in technology. This technology is really 95% for fitters and 5% for tinkereres. The 95% of average golfers don't even need to know It exists.

[@SidestickPilot]

Their opinions make me chuckle. They’re based on bad golf and zero knowledge on technology. It shows how impressive this stuff is when compared to other loft sleeves that have a quarter of the adjustment. If Ian is this excited about it it’s clearly something rather impressive.

[@jameskeen3321]

@@bloombeards812 given Taylormade new driver is called qi35 and innovation in industry rarely happens by a single company I have a feeling we see a similar sleeve in taylormade driver but with 35 settings

[@wrestlnrulz]

I think the main issue is that people are concerned some golfers will assume that this will fix all their problems. It won’t. But I agree, if it’s not for you don’t use it. I’m excited by the tweakability because I love to tinker with my gear. I think this is a step in the right direction for the entire industry.

[@nellynelson9387]

This sounds brilliant, will definitely give cobra a try when they are released

[@stevet.7927]

For me personally, these adapters are a key technology. I'm so sensitive to how the driver looks at address that I've found the look of a driver at my correct loft might not suit my eye so need to find a lower (or higher) lofted driver and then adjust the adapter settings to get the look at address that I like with the proper loft/lie setting. This makes the fitting process essential as well as a good fitter who will take the time to work through this process. In the absence of a good fitter, its a frustrating search for something that takes too much time to figure out to make worthwhile. My only concern about this is if golfers will be able to have these clubs fit in studios who use universal adapters for all of their drivers. Hopefully Club Champion and other brand agnostic studios will all offer a post-fit session to dial in the adapter. If not, then this technology will be vastly underutilized. If Cobra themselves get into the fitting game and offer a dialed-in fitting as part of the sales process, they might have something to differentiate themselves.

[@garyhovey9305]

Can’t wait to see this driver in Ian’s next WITB!

[@Ducebogies]

This is an outstanding tool. It is revolutionary the ability to fine-tune your good shots so they're even better why would you not pursue this technology. True there are a lot of golfers out there that aren't consistent enough that this really probably wouldn't make that much of a difference however there are a lot of us who like to hold on to our drivers and as we get better we have the ability to go back on a track man or a GC quad and fine-tune further as our swing changes with time and practice.

[@bighaus224]

So happy to hear this opinion. Everyone else on KZbin are whining about it like children. Cough Rick, James, Cough.... 😂 Imagine complaining about something that has zero effect on you

[@peterbuzz7279]

Great loft sleeve design by cobra which has dealt with many of the other manufacturers limitations. Should be a universal loft sleeve between all the manufacturers.

[@tylerkulhanek7270]

Love the channel.

[@ottawapop]

I need a self adjusting cog that tweaks itself in the downswing to a perfect drive…. LAB should make a driver cog.

[@johnnymossville]

I have a Cobra Speedzone that I really love. Wouldn't mind a fitting session with one of the new Cobra's to see if I can find any improvements. There are so many settings I feel like I'd never really find it's potential on my own at the range.

[@hypeNT500]

James Robinson had the best review of the adapter calling it the Da Vinci code to the next dimension 😂

[@andersfrederiksen-winnipeg5516]

I wouldn’t take James Robinson as an expert on club tech, optimal golf swing mechanics, etc lol.

[@hypeNT500]

@ ​​⁠it does not take a rocket scientist to know this adapter requires pinpoint precision ball striking to notice any difference compared to the adapters that have been used for last year

[@stevenmiddleton7175]

I'm going to miss these "geek out" technical episodes where you really dive into the fitting process and how the equipment and tools can be used to get you there.

[@ashleyevans1255]

Almost better numbers straight away over the Titleist GT fitting you had. Im after a Gt3 so this driver could be a contender aswell

[@mikecoughlin4128]

The way I see this adapter as a high handicapper is I can get the setting that seems to work best for me at the fitting with my current swing. As I hopefully gets better and more consistent I might need a different setting. That scenario could play out several times over the life of the club and my swing. Without this adapter I would be looking a t a new shaft/head or both each time my swing made an incremental improvement.

[@HunterWhetzel-xd1nd]

Hey! With all of the adjustments you can make with this adapter, does it make adjustable weights obsolete besides targeting a desired swing weight?

[@Willberight2moro]

Best adapter on the market... I assume that it comes in RH and lefty unlike Titleist....

[@ten8d1]

Please, please, please, please, test the Newton graphite shafts. Thank you!

[@adammiller4044]

I feel like this is great for loft and lie adjustments, but lie angle has less of an effect on left/right direction with driver than face angle does. For other adapters that don’t keep the face square (no smartpad) the face can open or close which I think can help more for left/right direction. Those ones aren’t as good if you need a true loft change (since it’s more of a face direction change), but they seem better for the person fighting a slice than a lie adjustment.

[@richardmarsh1769]

Love it to get fitted - suspect it makes some of the head adjustability redundant ?? Or is it find a head and shaft combo and this is just tweaks ?

[@jimmypeach8838]

I wish KZbinrs would say what type of shot they are trying to hit rather then often just swinging away..... the results are often all over so can't tell what's going on and what they are trying to play lol...... If you are trying to hit a dead straight one then just say so, but good luck on that one lol. I usually play a cut w driver and never just swing away without playin a specific shot.

[@hypeNT500]

Based on the cobra chart it shows loft lie are not independent of each other. Adjusting loft will change the loft vice versa

[@knee1499]

Is there going to be a Cobra Adapt LS and GT4 comparison? Ian seemed to like the lower cc Cobra so why not GT4?

[@krusher74]

Thay say you can adjust loft and lie by 2 degrees, but not at the same time? When they went to the most extreme it was only 1.4deg in each. And with the heads being 9 and 10.5. Wil some of the setting now make those clubs completely the same in certain settings? can a set both up as 9.5 1deg upright and them play just the same?

[@PiratePenguinFL]

The internal weighting in the LS and X are different between the 9 and 10.5, so even at similar loft they would have different spin, etc. Not a 1-to-1 match.

[@grumpywizards]

33 possible options on the windmill plane of possible settings...hits first one right, second one left...LGTM! /s

[@seanconnors7639]

One of the cogs is still fixed so shaft orientation or grip alignment will be an issue for those of us who care. Need to ask Cobra why they didn't follow Callaway and Titleist and allow both cogs to rotate which seems like such an easy fix.

[@MetalGear69]

It's meant for club fitters, not amateurs tinkerers. Supposed to get it fitted to your setting before getting it gripped.

[@RichardPalmbergDDS]

@@MetalGear69great, and then when you work on a swing change?

[@krusher74]

Most after a fitting would have the grip orientated to that setting. If I change seting on a club I own with a garage compressor it takes me 2 mins to turn the grip.

[@colvillesfinest5761]

Do you really use the grip g align your hands?? Why do yall complain about this? Must be terrible if you’ve gotta use it to align your hands

[@r_knapp13]

For what it’s worth, Titleist doesn’t allow both cogs to move, so the grip will rotate in certain settings as well. Callaway is the only one that doesn’t.

[@randallpennington5976]

With this hosel adjustment, has Cobra just made shaft choice easier?

[@justinhughes5663]

When are you guys going to do the velecore blue 2024 vs original velecore blue?

[@Chris.Cliver]

I read online that the face angle stays neutral with this new sleeve adapter no matter what setting you are in. Something about the "Smart Pad" flat section on the sole of the driver but this isn't explained further and sounds suspiciously too good to be true - can anyone confirm? Would have been nice if the video illustrated what is actually changing when you move adapter sleeve settings. Fix the head to a stationary point in on the ground and then show us how the sleeve changes move the shaft/grip around.

[@dennissmith1904]

How are they preventing you from upgrading?

[@tonysanta3497]

@chuckct9 I currently have Callaway. I have been upgrading my driver and 3 wood heads while keeping the same shaft for more than a decade. Cobra customers would have to pay a premium to upgrade.

[@chuckct9]

@@tonysanta3497 You realize that shaft adapter tips can be removed and changed, and that adapters can be obtained separately, yes? I went from Callaway driver to Cobra, kept my old shafts. Removed the Callaway tips, and installed Cobra tips. Voilà! Honestly, I can't wrap my head around the insane amount of bellyaching in here over this new adapter. lol

[@nickmillar9651]

I can’t believe golfers need that much dialed in for 1 yard right, left etc. I can figure that out my watching my flight and adjust set up if needed. I’m a plus 2 handicap. And I wouldn’t need this at all

[@wessims3412]

It is a magnificent development and definitely an expensive toy to play with. Many of the adjustments are so subtle, and with humans having inconsistent swings people could be playing with this on the course every time they hit a couple of bad shots trying to correct it. And if you have a $1000 auto flex shaft from the previous driver, you cannot put it in this. If someone needs 33 adjustments to try and straighten out their game, they need to just invest a bit of money and go take a few golf lessons and take that part of their game seriously.

[@kevinvonderscher3971]

This driver will be great for fitters like you guys but for the average Joe this thing will be as popular as a warm turd on a summer sidewalk ! 33 settlings ? I don't want to go back to school to take a algebra class to figure it out ! Most guys are " set it & forget it " types who will grab a ping , calloway or taylor made & avoid the migrain this club will give you .

[@hypeNT500]

There is not one person on the planet that can benefit from this adapter. These adapters from last year works just fine. The adjustment on this adapter is overkill.

[@Pud56]

Couldn’t disagree more, this technology is change for changes sake. Most amateur golfers, don’t need this level of tinkering. It might be a fitters justification for their existence, but it doesn’t move golf forward one iota. Most fittings are loft, lie,shaft and weight; if this doesn’t suit have lessons

[@RichardPalmbergDDS]

Don’t “need” it lol it absolutely helps with fittings because two of those parameters you yourself listed as important for fitting were directly linked in lie and loft. Unlinking them is huge for proper fitting.

[@krusher74]

They you dont understand currently that to get a loft you want you might end up in a lie you don't.

Leave the golf knowledge to the subject matter experts. Ian is more knowledgeable than this entire comment section combined. This adapter is game changing. Every fitter has said so.
