Great Review - I struggle with understanding the major differences between the DS-Adapt X and the DS-Adapt Max -K. What would separate someone getting fit for the DS-Adapt X and willingly give up the more forgiveness of the DS-Adapt Max K or vice versa. Your numbers and performance felt nearly identical with those 2 versions verses the clear difference with the LS and the draw versions. I got the same sense when I tested the Ping G430 10K last year that it was very similar to the Ping G430 and I produced nearly identical numbers when testing both at 12 degrees.
Great question. Yes even the DS-Adapt X is very forgiving although the Max-K just has a higher forgiveness value. I would assume those off-center strikes farther from the center will have a better chance to stay in the fairway with the Max-K. Keep in mind I was hitting the ball in the same spot on the face while other golfers may not. There was a difference in numbers a little more spin with the the Max-K as well so they will depend on if a golfer needs less or more spin which may be the deciding factor. Thanks for watching
just bought the max k after my fitting. what i found. 1. love the adapter. 2. spin wise the max k was in between spin of the x weight front and back. 3. with the weight in front for the x my consistency plummeted. 4. so i chose the max k. 2300-2500 spin very consistent. x weight front was inconsistent so my spin was 2000-3000. weight back was 2500-3000. seemed to me the weight back in the x added more to the spin than added to the consistency...
@@jergernice1thanks for the feedback. I also love the adapter. I have filmed a video on it. After all the other manufacturers videos come out I have that in the list to post. Very impressive
Thanks for the review Thomas🙏🏽 Question: how would you compare the feel and sound of the Darkspeed adapt LS versus the original Darkspeed LS? I have the original Darkspeed LS and I like the performance, I do hit it high but the firm/ hard feel really is a bummer. The ltdx LS felt nicer/softer. Lastly the ability of the new adapter to lower loft and not open the face angle is another big selling point for me.
Thanks for watching! I haven't had a chance to do a comparison of the DS-Adapt vs Darkspeed yet, although it is on my short list to do so don't have an answer on the sound. I will say its seems like the DS-Adapt LS is a real spin killer compared to the previous model so that new futurefit33 adapter will be useful. It could be why there is no 8* head available in Adapt when there was in Darkspeed.
I agree. It's already on my short list. I can tell you in the past it's been about 200-300rpm less spin with the heavy weight at the front. Will be interesting to see how much it changes
Did you have all of them in the stock A1 setting on the adapter? Will you do a video where you adjust the adapter and go into more detail on the FF33 adapter?
Yes all tested at the same loft and lie. I have filmed that video it will go up sometime in January after all the other manufacturers videos of new releases. Thanks for watching
Best review on these clubs that I’ve been able to find
Thanks for watching! Keep your eyes out, beginning this morning for new reviews of the other clubs coming out in 2025!
Great review.
Awesome new channel
Glad you liked the video, check back soon for more driver comparisons!

Would be good to see what would happen if you put the heavy weight at the front of the adapt x
