The as seen on TV GS-27 used to work wonders! Sadly, I can't find it anymore...

If it's not into the weave, clear fingernail polish into the void (multiple coats), wet sand with 1000 grit just to level the repair. Polish with auto scratch remover then wax.
backinit Ok, ok, I paraphrased a littleWhat you said
Duct tape.
Sorry. couldn't resist.
Try the manufacturer.
Find an inconspicuous spot on the head and test a"simulated micro repair".
Well I'm too scared to try anything on the carbon fiber top on this driver. Afraid I'll make it much worse. Just too picky!!!
I bought it new in the wrapper 2 weeks ago even though it's the 2022 model....only a couple range sessions.
Guess I could just sell it and one less worry on my plate....
Cobra LTD X Max driver, 10.5* adjustable, factory Hazardous Smoke im10 regular flex shaft, factory grip and headcover but no wrench (been using my Taylormade wrench).
Pictures upon request for any interested. π«¨π«¨π«¨
Or quit being a Bud Light drinker and just game that bitch like a man!
It's not the worst home made alignment aid I've ever seen.

Just to recap.
You posted, with a picture on what to do, please help....
You get plenty of replies, a couple will work perfectly, but you are " too scared to try anything" ?
Try some car wax.
Should be easy enough to do for you and can't hurt it.
Not sure how much weight it adds lol

So Mike what would you do if it were your new driver???? Kinda took your comment posted as a negative one towards me.....if not then excuse me.
I've worked on metal driver surfaces and metal car clean ups for decades BUT NEVER anything carbon fiber. Don't want to make the top crown of a 2 week old driver worse with experimentation, that's just this way this 74 year old Social Security living Senior is. Wax won't fill in a scratch you can feel with your fingernail. But it's the only thing I know to try and feel safe knowing it can't hurt it and may improve it somewhat. This business of sanding and repairing the carbon fiber top as per U Tube videos isn't something I'm willing to try as most of those videos were on some form of automobile parts and all had clear coat. A Sharpie will fill in the white portion of the scratch but I don't want to draw further attention to the non glare pattern finish around it.
I appreciate all my fellow Buzzer contributions and want to say thanks to all.
get some sheets of high-gloss carbon fiber design vinyl decal/film and cover up the whole crown ????????

Like Kid Rock said:
"Fuck Bud Light, Fuck Anheuser-Busch and all their products!!".
Well Buzzers I went with something I felt safe with. First I used very light auto rubbing compound on the entire crown. Then hand buffed it with cheesecloth. After setting it aside for a bit, I used WD40 and cheesecloth, which improved the overall appearance. The white showing is where the scratch is into the paint and pattern. Gonna let it sit for a while, then put a coat of wax on it.
You need to fill in the scratch with what looks like a "matt' or "satin" clear first,
(it appears to be a fairly deep scratch)
then wet color sand lightly with say a 1000 grit followed by some fine cut cleaner.
Then it'll look like nothing ever happened!
Do a search on Youtube. There are several videos on this subject... mostly for car parts but same same. You will need to fill the void with something as stated above and then light sanding as needed.
Hammer4413 So Mike what would you do if it were your new driver???? Kinda took your comment posted as a negative one towards me.....if not then excuse me.
Oh no, no, no... My apologies. I guess what they say is true, Hard to get a true sense of context through simple written text.
I didn't mean that at all.
I read your first post with interest as my first glance thought it was cracked. I didn't say that as I know not of Cobra's exact design.
I loved your comments of sadness toward your new driver and know the feeling all to well that we share. Anyone can and has taken my irons and can do with as they please, But never, ever even get to practice swing my driver. My wedge and 60 year olf putter are fully off limits for a similar fear.
I read with interest all the posts, some were very good.
Your post that I commented on, immediately struck me only as funny. Asking for help if any was to be had, as there was a problem to be fixed. As I said, getting many great replies and then coming back saying that you were too afraid to move forward with anything.
No malice intended.
If It was mine....
First I fully realize that there is a finish coat on the carbon crown. What that finish is can only be answered by Cobra.
I first would contact Cobra and as you did here, explain your predicament and see where it took you. The best case scenario would be a new club by a proud manufacturer. The next best possibility would be talking to someone there who may in fact work on these clubs daily from customer send-ins.
If no luck there, I would personally start with the least possible aggressive action. I would, as stated, start with an auto polishing compound. While we know this has a degree of grit to it, you need to do something to minimize the appearance that is troubling you, If no measurable success, I too would have opted for extremely fine sandpaper and after fully and carefully masking the rest of the club, would have WET SANDED the crown with that finer that frogs hair sandpaper. You couldn't do a spot fix as that would throw the finish off and clearly thin that section of the crown due to sanding. Neither of which is something that you want.
After a complete and thorough WET SANDING , I would marvel at the progress made and then grab the polishing compound again.
After washing and re masking the ENTIRE clubhead, you could easily either lightly spray a new poly layer and put a hand rubbed wax fining on the crown, whatever would most please your eye.
Thank for understanding that I meant no harm.
Mike
