Any other Cobra lovers out there? I am a recent convert. Evangelical, even. I finally bought some new technology --- well, 2012, anyway. AMP driver, 3W and 5W. Very impressed. My R7 is very bitchy these days, staring at me with hatred from her cold station in the garage...

I lust the 2014 Bio Cell+ -- the technology all seems legit. (That slightly slanted sweet spot - cuz we tend to hit low in the heel and high on the toe - just makes sense.) Will wait a bit and hopefully can score some next spring, on da bay. (Chris Farley - RIP - "DA 'bay." I can just hear it.)

Plus I really like doing the cobra-arm-snake-strike-hissing-motion-sound after DARTING a 5W onto a par 5 from waybackthere. Confirms my playing partners' common belief that I am, at best, a childish assbag with a mustard-stained golf shirt. Know thyself, I always say.

Stay classy out there.

I liked the sound from my HS9.  Wish I would have kept it but the L5V that replaced it sounds pretty good too.  The new woods don't seem any better than the current Callaway or Taylormade stuff.

i love Cobra. I just bought a S3 driver off ebay. love the E9 face. i have been researching drivers for a while and i knew it would help me get better contact since i'm a newbie to the sport. i've read the amp cell pro is a beast so i'm waiting for next year for the price to drop on the used ones. anyway, i love Cobra. even the baffler irons...how they help out the beginners like me. love that the company focuses on everyone.

I had a Cobra Titanium driver Circa 1994-1995 when titanium drivers were still in their infancy.   Back then, I hit the ball on the upswing(still do), but I'd sometimes bottom out behind the ball and brush the grass before starting the upswing.....and the damn thing would throw sparks if the ground was dry!!  LOL...no joke!

That driver was a fire hazard!  hahaha

I'm playing a Cobra driver now that I picked up off a friend for $10. It's offset which has really helped me off the tee, but it's older so I'm sure that today's driver with newer technology might perform a bit better. Also, this thing is LOUD. Like, guys down at the other end of the range look over when I start hitting it loud.

I'm planning on picking up a new driver after Christmas, and the Amp Cell is high on my list to check out after the rave reviews it's gotten online.

A good friend of mine is a 7hcp and has some older King Cobra irons in his bag that he doesn't want to swap out.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).

    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
