Pros:
Most adjustable hybrid on the market
Superior distance
Highly customizable
Cons:
Adjustability options can seem overwhelming for some
No doubt, the most compelling feature about the Cobra King Tec hybrids is the FutureFit33 hosel system, which is also found in Cobra’s latest fairway woods and drivers. FutureFit33 refers to the 33 unique loft and lie settings you can dial up with his hosel.
Each can be adjusted by plus or minus two degrees in any direction, meaning that you could adjust a 22-degree hybrid to 24 degrees or 20 degrees; plus, flatten it or make the lie more upright by 2 degrees. That’s a lot of options, but if you’re a slicer, you can combat your slice. If you have a hook, you can counter that as well.
While these options are innovative and can definitely be helpful, I can’t overlook how this hybrid feels, which was really solid and easy to hit.
The King Tec features a refined shape with a smaller profile, which makes it more precise and easier to work. I have a history of battling hooks with previous hybrids, but I can actually hit fades with the King Tec. Plus, by adjusting the lie angle two degrees flatter, I pretty much eliminated that hook altogether, except when intentionally hitting one.
The King Tec also delivers plenty of distance. It’s paired with a PWRSHELL design that features what Cobra calls H.O.T. Face Technology for consistent distance across the entire face. I tested the 22-degree and also enjoyed a nice high ball flight with plenty of carry. In a couple of instances, I was able to hit it over fairly tall trees and land it softly on a green, going for a par-5 in two.
While the Cobra King Tec is at the top of my list for hybrids in 2025, Cobra offers another excellent option as well, the DS Adapt, which also has 33 combinations of settings and may be more forgiving for many players.
