I thought It was time to review a few of my new clubs. Any questions feel free.
Background
Handicap: Scratch
Tempo: Smooth
AOA: Steep
Normal flight: High, stock shot is normally a fade
Bad shot: Pull or a block slice
Club specs
Cobra Speed Pro D
9.5*
Grafalloy prolaunch red s-flex
45"
D4 Swingweight
Tour Velvet plus 5 layers
Look: This club ooozzzeeesss class. A jet black club head with a smart cobra alignment aid. Some people may be distracted by the dips in the crown but I tend not to notice. At address this club looks smaller than 460cc due to the compact head shape and the deeper face. It will appeal to those who do not like the coconut on a broom stick sort of driver like the sumo2 or others. The face angle appears to be 1* open which as first stood out like a sore thumb to me but again its and aquired taste so to speak, I like it :)
Sound: The Pro speed is designed to suit a better golfer who desires solid feel and high end performance. I feel they hit the nail on the head with sound. Its quite muted on the course but does not go un noticed by other golfers on the green behind. I has a nice ring to it honestly. Again nothing deafening but solid.
Feel: This club rocks in the feel dept. A truely :p solid club, the ball feels like it spends a good amount of time on the face and you know when you have caught one flush.
Performance: The important stuff :laugh: This club again is suited to better golfers with a consistent strike pattern so TP Stay away :tongue: It does exactly what cobra will say it will do. Great performance. For me personally a high flight that spun a little too much but that is the shaft more than anything and my dodgy technique. This head is low spin, If you do not have the strength to spin the ball considerably or have a very steep angle of attack this club will hit worm burners all day long. The ease to work the ball is nice but I still like to hit the ball straight, nothing fancy unless it is really really needed. Off centre hits tend not to bee hugely forgiving unlike the ld F or other cobra drivers but again this club is designed for a consistant ball striker. I think a lot of people could benefit from a club like this. I think it would be those who are looking to lower their ball flight or spin.
Overall: This club is great in my opinion, Im going to tweak it a bit with a different shaft combo in the next couple of weeks or so then I think I'll have a winner to rival my old legendary Hs-9 aluminium Bat.
