I just started playing a couple of months ago and I just ordered my first driver. I went to Golfsmith to try out a bunch of drivers and I really liked the Cobra Speed. Second on the list was the Cleveland Hibore. I just won a "very good" condition Cobra Speed F driver on ebay for 67 bucks. It has the stock Aldila regular flex shaft and is 10.5*. Looking forward to some longer drives, as I've been teeing off with a 19* hybrid. I hit the driver well in the cage at GS, hopefully it will transfer to the course. Oh and my clubhead speed on the monitor was 80 to 83 mph. I was hitting it right at 200 to 220 yards based on the monitor. Hopefully that will improve as well. I'm excited......

I am a fan of Cleveland HiBore as well. The only reason I haven't gotten one is because I can't find a buyer for my Nike Lucky 13.

I love Cobra clubs. I think the look, sound and feel great.

Good luck with new driver. I hope it works out for you.

I've never really like Cobra drivers. They just seem to big for my liking. I'm not saying they aren't nice, but I am saying that they aren't for me.

I love cobra drivers they feel like you pound it but if you buy the M speed version I would suggest you alos pick up some earplug, those things are loud.

No, I bought the F Speed Version. It is for fast ball players, which I'm not, but I felt like I would grow into it pretty quickly.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By saevel25 · Posted

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
