Cobra F9 Speedback Driver with numbers

Typhoon · 2019-01-09T00:37:16+00:00

First off...DC300...u have to hit this in 9 degree (9 degree head is the low spin head) with the Smoke 6.5 shaft and the heavier 14g weight in the front and...

Looks like you can get the driver in white instead of that gawd awful yellow. Who at cobra comes up with the color schemes???

ode

colej that's just the sole color, the crown is black! Although it appears the yellow sole is more glossy than the white sole which is more matte,but ?? It's hard to tell

I guess most average Joe golfers are more interested in glitzy cavity badges and what the club looks like upside down in the bag vs. what actually matters, the address position!

I don't mind the yellow but it'll look "dated"... I'd go for the Avalanche color because of the matte crown.

It’s still hideous! You’d have to see that color every time you pull the headcover off in the bag.

colej I don't find the sole to be off puting at all, by today's standards it's more of the same. The crown, well you be the judge.

Sole-

The cobra site pics don't show just how glossy the yellow soled head is. It's pretty shiny. Not a big deal if you like gloss over matte. I'd def opt for the white sole. As the crown appears to be more matte! Looks good in the pics IMO, in person, not quite as good!

The white for sure!

It's hosel adjustable still. The 9 degree is the low spin head and goes from 7.5 to 10 degree. I would rather 8 to 10.5.

The 10.5 degree head goes 9.5 to 12.

I'll have to look into the adapters more anyway.

I've gotta go back to where I hit the g400 max with the kuro kage x and hit the Cobra there on that LM to get real life #'s.

Typhoon blew away the g400max ( even though the shaft selection was extremely poor as usual) the Rogue SZ and both new Titleist TS drivers with the Smoke shaft as well.

Quantify please - blew them away by how much?

Let me first say the Ping shaft was not a good fit for me but it was all they had...
Beat the Ping G400 MAX 9.6 degree/ stock Alta regular shaft by 25 yards.
Beat both Titleist drivers by 19 yards.
Beat the Rogue as by 17 yards.

The more I hit the Cobra the more I got used to it and the numbers went up. I did the comparison first, then just hit the Cobra so the separation got even wider.

Would be nice to do the same shaft/weight in the g400

I have really wanted a Cobra driver to work for me since the Bio Cell. I end up hitting them all like poop. The only Cobra driver I've had success with is a Frankensteined S9-1 with an Amp Cell Kuro Kage shaft.

I will probably go to Carl's and demo it, and be disappointed... again...

I LOVE IT AND WILL HAVE ONE....in about 2 years.😕

I think Cobra is the KING of drivers. Pun intended.

I like the white a lot. Like Landon. Two years.

ode

Id say 3 years given the msrp on these has now crept up well over 3 hundo. 449 is silly money IMO, but some will tell you it's a bargain vs. Cortex m5/6, etc.

sdandrea1

Always like Cobra looks and sound. Good stuff.

candukid

speaking of the Cortex, was Woodland gaming it on the weekend?

colej

candukid

Thought he was using the Ping Max?

From what I read, Woodland didn't have enough time to trial the cortex before the tournament so he just switched his irons but kept his woods the same. Once he does his driver testing, it will be interesting to see if the cortex can outhit his g400

Yeah, I heard the same thing that he used the Ping driver. Actually depending on how his contract is written, he might not have to use a Wilson driver.
