<\/p>\n

Cobra\u2019s DS-ADAPT MAX women’s iron is designed to deliver ultimate forgiveness and an effortless high launch, specifically targeting golfers who need to regain lost carry distance. I was therefore looking forward to finding out if it stood up to these claims and is one of the best golf irons for women<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While I haven’t tested the regular Cobra DS-ADAPT<\/a> model, so I can’t give you a direct comparison, I can tell you exactly how this enhanced model has been tailored to give female golfers added benefits and if I was impressed with the results.<\/p>\n

The DS-ADAPT MAX has a slightly larger profile with a thicker topline, wider sole and added offset, which combine to provide maximum forgiveness. Unlike some irons that look intimidating when you address the ball, I found these \u2018oversized\u2019 aspects confidence-inspiring, making even the worst lies seem manageable.<\/p>\n

Best picks for you<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In my opinion, there is nothing to dislike about the aesthetic of this iron. Cobra describes the finish as champagne, which is understated but pretty classy and it’s fitted with a KBS light graphite shaft that\u2019s mostly black.<\/p>\n

When I first picked up this iron, I did find it heavy compared with others on the market, such as the Ping\u2019s G Le3<\/a>, XXIO 13<\/a>, or TaylorMade’s Kalea Gold<\/a>. But as we’re all different, and what feels heavy to me might feel light to someone else.<\/p>\n

During testing, I was conscious of the weight of the club on my takeaway into my backswing, but I have to say, while no noticeable distance gains, I did manage to get the club back to the ball and consistently launch it fairly high so I was impressed with the results.<\/p>\n

This might well have been due to the 2-degree weaker lofts in this model, which aim to help the ball get up and travel high without sacrificing speed. I also think the extra weight didn\u2019t do me any harm, it helped me to give my shots extra oomph!<\/p>\n

What I really appreciated, however, was the sound and feel at impact. Thanks to the hollow cavity that is filled with a soft foam, whatever the outcome, my shots felt robust and powerful without any harsh vibrations. Even on off-centre strikes, the sound was consistent and pleasing.<\/p>\n

Overall, the DS-ADAPT MAX women’s iron is a great offering if you\u2019re looking for maximum forgiveness and height, which is wrapped up in a sleek package that inspires confidence at address.<\/p>\n
