Cobra releases limited-edition DS-Adapt PTC drivers
AI-assisted summary
Cobra Golf has released limited-edition DS-Adapt PTC drivers in collaboration with DJ Kygo and Palm Tree Crew.
The drivers feature "Neon Nights" colorways and graphics, with performance similar to the standard DS-Adapt drivers.
Cobra's FutureFit33 adjustable hosel system allows for 33 different loft and lie angle settings.
On the eve of the PGA Tour's crown-jewel event, Cobra Golf has released a set of limited-edition drivers that will make any golf lover feel serious Florida vibes.
Collaborating with DJ Kygo and Palm Tree Crew, the DS-Adapt PTC drivers will perform like the standard DS-Adapt drivers that were released last December, but these unique DS-Adapt X, DS-Adapt LS and DS-Adapt Max-K drivers ($640 each) feature 'Neon Nights' colorways and graphics on the sole and navy blue carbon fiber crowns.
Each of the DS-Adapt drivers features a titanium chassis with carbon fiber crowns and large carbon fiber sole plates. Cobra has also added an internal weight inside the heads of the DS-Adapt drivers, but the weight locations are different based on the loft of the clubs. Why? Golfers with different playing styles and needs typically buy different drivers, so Cobra customizes each club and encourages players to work with fitters to find the model that suits their swing.
The DS-Adapt PTC drivers also have H.O.T Face technology. The acronym stands for Highly Optimized Topology, and it blends thick and thin areas that enlarge the sweet spot and protect ball speed on mishits.
Finally, each of the DS-Adapt PTC drivers has Cobra's excited new FutureFit33 adjustable hosel system. It lets players and fitters set the driver into 33 different positions to find the ideal loft and lie angle.

KPMG Women's PGA Championship showcases cutting-edge platform KPMG Performance Insights
Over the past quarter century, advanced analytics have transformed much of the sports world. Thanks to technology platforms such as the PGA Tour's ShotLink, Tour players, coaches, media and fans now have more performance data at their fingertips than they could ever possibly consume. Relative to other sports leagues, the LPGA was late to the analytics party, but has made up for lost time, thanks to the 2021 introduction of KPMG Performance Insights, which generates the sort of advanced analytics and performance data that had been missing from the women's game for years. LPGA athletes suddenly had a wealth of information to help them make small adjustments in their practice routines or tournament play that would translate into significant performance gains. Since its inception, KPMG has been relentless in scaling up the platform. In 2022, for example, KPMG Performance Insights added a player dashboard (an example can be found here) with personalized portals that provide access to data and insights. In 2023, in support of KPMG ambassador and U.S. Solheim Cup captain Stacy Lewis, the company provided KPMG Performance Insights tools, such as analyzing 20,000 simulations to identify the optimal pairings for the matches. Those simulations went so far as to identify how players perform under pressure or on certain types of grass. Last year KPMG Performance Insights went next level through the incorporation of AI-empowered predictive analytics that provided leading-edge insights for LPGA tournaments. Additionally, to enhance the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, KPMG partnered with T-Mobile to introduce KPMG CHAMPCAST presented by T-Mobile, which leverages ShotLink Pro 2.0 cutting-edge technology to create an immersive experience for fans watching at home or onsite. (An example of KPMG CHAMPCAST can be found here.) 'The KPMG Women's PGA Championship is the most tech-forward event on the LPGA,' said Shawn Quill, National Sports Industry Leader at KPMG. 'Through KPMG Performance Insights and KPMG CHAMPCAST presented by T-Mobile, we're providing the players with real-time, shot-level data and analytics. With features like win probabilities, winning score projections, a dedicated player portal, 3D imagery, shot trails and individual shot highlights, players, fans and the media are able to get closer to the action than ever before.' As has been the case from the outset, KPMG continues to ramp up its platform by adding more features and benefits for players and fans. For the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, KPMG is providing new, enhanced features through an AI-generated daily recap. Hole-by-hole AI course analytics that will help players decide how best to attack the difficult Fields Ranch East layout at PGA Frisco. This feature will provide players with information on the best way to play each hole and the trouble spots to avoid on the course. Based on the KPMG Performance Insights Daily Recap (an example can be found here) from Thursday's first round, there is a 92% chance the cutline falls between +2 and +4. Players will be able to use this data to help them decide how aggressively they will need to play in the second round. As an example, KPMG ambassador Leona Maguire currently sits at even par through 18 holes. Based on insights from the report, a round of 75 Friday gives her a 95% chance to make the weekend. Additional insights from the recap show the relative difficulty of each hole from the first round. For example, hole 6 (a 446-yard par 4 with bunkers protecting the green) currently has a birdie or better percentage of 2% and a bogey or worse percentage of nearly 50%. As players head into their second round, they will know that a score of par on the sixth hole is actually helping them gain strokes on the field. These are all great tools for LPGA fans and media, but they're invaluable to the LPGA players. 'As part of our strategy, we are focused on setting the standard for excellence in women's golf,' Quill said. 'We are excited about our new KPMG Performance Insights Daily Recaps that include AI-powered course analysis, which provides players data on how each hole is playing, and AI-generated scoring targets, so the players can see the predicted cut line and winning scores. These powerful insights will equip the players so they can adjust their approach as they prepare for the next round.'

Miguel Ángel Jiménez Signs with Newton Golf Company Following Tour Win Using Newton Fast Motion Shaft
Jiménez's Victory marks second Tour win for Newton shafts CAMARILLO, Calif., June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- NEWTON GOLF Company (Nasdaq: NWTG) ('NEWTON GOLF' or the 'Company'), a technology-forward golf company with a growing portfolio of golf products—including putters, golf shafts, golf grips, and other golf-related accessories—announced today that Miguel Ángel Jiménez, one of the most accomplished players on the PGA TOUR champions, has officially signed with the brand and will play its shaft technology moving forward. The multi-time Tour winner validated the partnership immediately by capturing a victory at the Principal Charity Classic using the Newton Fast Motion shaft, introduced in April 2025. Jimenéz secured his 16th PGA TOUR Champions title with a birdie on the first sudden-death playoff hole, marking the second professional Tour win for the Newton Motion shaft brand. His powerful performance at the 6,833-yard Wakonda Club course in Des Moines, Iowa, included a 310-yard longest drive and a 298-yard average—highlighting the shaft's elite blend of stability, straightness and control. The win also follows Doug Barron's 2024 major victory at the Regions Tradition, reinforcing Newton's growing impact across professional tours. One of the most decorated and charismatic figures in professional golf, Jiménez has tallied 44 global victories across the PGA TOUR Champions, DP World Tour and other international events. He is a four-time Ryder Cup team member for Europe and remains a dominant force on Tour in 2025, currently leading the PGA TOUR Champions money list. 'We couldn't be more proud to congratulate Miguel on his win and to see the Newton Fast Motion shaft deliver on a major stage,' said Dr. Greg Campbell, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Newton Golf. 'When we set out to create this shaft, our goal was simple: develop technology that truly enhances a golfers' ability to perform. Seeing world-class players like Miguel trust our shaft technology validates everything we've built—and it's only the beginning. ' The Fast Motion shaft has already proven itself on Tour, with eight professionals – who have a combined nine major championships in their careers - putting it into play across the PGA TOUR Champions and LPGA Tour. Overall, 40 professionals on these tours are gaming Newton Motion shafts. Building on the four key innovations of the Newton Motion shaft—including Elongated Bend Profile, Kinetic Energy Storage, Symmetry 360 Construction, and Variable Bend Profile—the Newton Fast Motion series caters specifically to players who demand lighter shafts without compromising stability, straightness, or control. Light Yet Stable: High-Modulus Toray Carbon Fibers The Newton Fast Motion shafts are constructed with advanced high-modulus Toray carbon fibers, known for their superior strength-to- weight ratio. This design reduces shaft weight by approximately 10 grams compared to the Motion series, enabling faster swing speeds while maintaining tight dispersion, exceptional straightness, and stability. Players can feel the shaft load naturally during the swing. This makes it easier to time and sequence the motion for more consistent strikes. 'Roughly 30–40% of driver shafts in Regular and Stiff flexes fall under the 55-gram weight category, serving golfers who seek added swing speed without losing control,' added Dr. Greg Campbell, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Newton Golf. 'This new line reflects our commitment to supporting the growing market segment of golfers seeking additional swing speed by utilizing lighter driver shafts.' Distinctive Design: Red-to-Gold Finish That Changes Under Sunlight The Newton Fast Motion series features a striking red-to-gold finish that shifts color under sunlight. Every shaft is proudly Made in the U.S.A. at Newton Golf's St. Joseph, Missouri, facility, enabling tight quality control and supporting growing demand from club fitters, retailers, and international distributors. A Lighter Shaft Powered by Newton's Four Core Technologies Elongated Bend Profile – Optimized for fairway wood lengths, the Fast Motion shaft flexes across its full length—from grip to tip— delivering improved clubhead speed. Kinetic Energy Storage Optimization – Proprietary construction enables efficient energy storage during the swing and controlled release at impact for a significant boost in exit velocity. Symmetry 360™ Construction – This design eliminates shaft spine, providing consistent flex regardless of clocking position— critical for adjustable drivers and fairway woods. Variable Bend Profile – Each flex is tuned based on swing speed rather than age or gender. Slower swings benefit from greater flex and torque, while faster swings require the opposite. Additionally, the Newton Fast Motion shaft replaces traditional flex labels (Ladies, Senior, Stiff, etc.) with Newton's proprietary DOT system. Ranging from one to seven dots, the system enables precise matching of shaft performance to individual swing profiles—allowing fitters to fine-tune performance more intuitively than legacy flex categories. With demand for lightweight performance shafts growing—particularly among club fitters and moderate swing speed players—Newton Golf believes the Fast Motion series is well-positioned to drive continued growth and brand momentum throughout 2025 and beyond.

Air Jordan 11 Adapt 'Legend Blue': Futuristic Sneakers for Sale
Air Jordan 11 Adapt 'Legend Blue': Futuristic Sneakers for Sale originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Nike's Air Jordan 11 Adapt 'Legend Blue' (Style Code: DO6365-001) sneakers are some of the coolest shoes I've ever seen—surely some of the most tech savvy. Equipped with motors, sensors, a charging pad, and an instruction manual these are NOT your ordinary AJ11s. Utilizing Adaptive Fit technology for customizable and precise wear these self-lacing sneakers are futuristic and fashionable. If you're thinking of Nike Air Mags and Back to The Future's power-lacing sneakers, you are on the right track! I know you want a pair…let me help you out. Air Jordan 11 Adapt 'Legend Blue' – Details & Info Release Date: 12/28/2021Style Code: DO6365-001Colorway: Neutral Grey/Legend-Dark Powder BluePrice: $500 (original) – See below for current pricing informationWhere to Buy: StockX or GOAT I was pleasantly surprised to see the Air Jordan 11 Adapt 'Legend Blue' sneakers going for below retail on StockX. Because of the innovative technology, materials, and crisp colorway I expected these to cost a ridiculous amount of cash. Don't get me wrong, in my opinion the initial asking price of $500 was ridiculous but, when I see these going for $323 it's noteworthy. Asking price differs depending on size but StockX has a bidding system that can help with that. GOAT has joined the price party and has Nike's AJ11 futuristic footwear going for less than retail in some pretty popular sizes. Of course, my size 14 is $613 which all things considered isn't a crazy ask. I know…I cannot believe I said that either. I feel like if you like these and you're into Adaptive Fit tech then the higher asking prices aren't as egregious to you. I like that the technology enhancements didn't ruin the comfort or the aesthetics of the AJ11. StockX says, 'The Air Jordan 11 Adapt Legend Blue integrates modern performance technology with heritage design." Being that 11s are my favorite Jordan silhouette I am what some would call sensitive about them. As much as people love and pay for Nike Air Mags which feature some of the same tech, they don't look wearable like these do. The legend blue ripstop upper and grey suede mudguard pair well together, blending nicely into a white midsole that plays host to the shoes comfort adjuster and power-lacing tech controls. An icy translucent rubber outsole provides the finishing touch to the Air Jordan 11 Adapt 'Legend Blue'. With wear modes going from 'Locked In' for a snug fit to 'Chill' for a more relaxed fit, these sneakers are a straight up flex. The Air Jordan 11 Adapt 'Legend Blue's (Style Code: DO6365-001) would make Marty McFly proud. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 15, 2025, where it first appeared.
