I have the Radspeed XB and absolutely love it. Got it for a superb price on sale. takes all the boxes for me - sound, feel, accuracy - the only thing I am missing is the matt top finish which they got now in the LTD X ! Well done cobra! superb golf drivers and by far the best value!

Thank you for the video 👍🏻

My uncle lent me his old Cobra ZL Encore and I love it... I'm assured now that I should buy a new Cobra for myself... 😄

[justjoddat]

I picked up the Radspeed XB last season and I love it. Cobra makes some great clubs at the best prices.

[rafabonati]

When you hit the Cobra, it sounded just like the Callaway. I knew the price was low, and when you showed the distance data, I knew you would pick the Cobra LTDX. It does look to be a winner.

It's funny you noticed the consistency in the Ping. I have the 425 Max and was hitting it the simulator yesterday and was surprised when I hit every drive to almost the same distance no matter where I hit it on the face, and with a tight dispersion.

[BloodySoup]

Picked up the Cobra LTDX last week and it's a bomber! This week I picked up it's little brother.. the 3 wood. Great sound. Great distance. Great dispersion. It's a winner.

Went for the Cobra LTDx and I’m over the moon with it! ⛳️

[darrenbell]

Had the tsi3 for last 18 month and i always said it would take something very very special to display it. Cue the cally rogue st max and this will be my new driver for this year. I gave the stealth and cobra stx a good demo but always ended up coming back to the cally rogue. It's knocked it out of the park this year has the cally for me

When oh when will golf publications, videos and instructions give information, advice for the majority of golfers out there. I know it's not you fault, but 314 yards, to get that distance of the tee i would need to carry it in my pocket for the first 100 yards.

I love these kind of videos. Im guessing fairway woods and hybrid videos are coming soon rly looking forward to that. Im looking for a new fairway wood and hybrid

Since I had my m2 have not found a driver that I have really liked - and tried even bought several- including Pxg amongst others (though as a leftie sometimes choice even to try out is limited). But I finally found the driver that I like, gives me confidence and am striking very well and performing - the Taylor made stealth. Unfortunately was not able to try cobra or callaway before but given the stealth is working really well and I like the sound, feel and look of too no need to venture further. Rest of bag - six different brands in the bag really good. So now a great complete set.

[GRIFF]

The LTD LS is a bomber because it has a forward CG with an enormous amount of mass at the front of the club. This will mean you get more ball speed and lower launch on centered strikes, as born out by the results.
Problem is that it has an MOI of 4300 which is incredibly unforgiving and would most likely cost you over the course of the season. Compare this to the G425 max which will give up 10 yards or so, but has an MOI of 5900!!

I ended up with a new Callaway Rogue LS driver after going to a few demo days at my local course. I wanted to try the Cobra but I couldn’t find any local demo days to try it out. Bummer. I will say if the Big 3 drivers I did hit the Stealth the longest but not quite as consistent as the Rogue. Plus I’m still not sold on the durability of carbon.

[jayhales]

Been fitted for a new driver but struggling with it. Pick up my old 2009 Cobra S9-1M offset driver and it sails past any new driver both in distance and straightness

[raidernation]

I have the ping g410 and it goes far and straight, and I really don't have any reason to replace it, but I've been itching for a new driver. I told myself I wouldn't leave the ping brand because of how well the g410 worked for me, but I can't help but be absolutely in love with the LTDX (the blueish /purpleish version) and the Titleist tsr3 drivers. Love the sound, looks, and performance of both.

[allahalibaba]

Neil: I still play the Cobra F9 driver wich I felt is the best for that year and I still have not found that the newer driver can still keep up with...Could you do a comparison between this New Cobra LTDX vs the older F 9... to see if it is worth the buying a new updated one...Thanks....

[legend]

Well done, I’m sure this was quite an extensive test so thank you for that 🙏. Cobra is great all rounder, impressed by its consistent performance.

[guba]

I'll tell you around my club only one people are talking about is the stealth, but in all Fairness talyolrmade came out and was having a demo test day. I played 9 with the whole bag driver, woods, irons and they were good the but besides the drive I wouldn't trade my 718s. Hitting a M6 driver and woods and think ill wait a year till can find some used ones.

[scottamolinari]

Ha! Cool. The Cobra is exactly the driver I also decided to get this year. Awesome!! 😁

[NovaScene]

Not surprised at all of the outcome, LTDx is very consistent and neutral flight driver with great sound and feel. Of all the 2022 drivers this is the only one that has all of these factors and also a price tag of 450 eur that is about 200 eur less then the the most expensive drivers of 22.
