It seems like everyone I know that plays a cobra, hits it very far for their SS, people have told me if I switch I'll gain numerous yards, and these aren't just kids on the team, I've heard pros say cobras go farther.
If they do I'd like to look into one, like the l4v and l5v. Has anyone switched and noticed distance changes?

You are playing one of the better drivers out there already in the Titleist D2. Perhaps the D1 would have been a better choice for you but the Cobra would make no appreciable difference in distance for you.

I also play a D2 however a friend of mine who is very long hitter (around 320) tried several drivers at a pro shop along with his Cobra and he was cositantly longer with his Cobra. The new Cleveland XLS showed a tighter group. Don't know if he tried a D2 or not. I do know he tried a G10, the XLS Cleveland and the new Burner along with a new Cobra. He said his Cobra that he currently has was the longest. Of course he is use to his own club.

It depends on who you talk to and what you choose to believe. Try one for yourself and you decide.

I can say that a lot of the guys that compete in the LDA do in fact use Cobra drivers.

How would the d1 be a better choice, with my handicap? i can definitely work the ball, I just want more distance. Idk i'm gonna go to golf galaxy but the second poster confirmed what I have heard about people getting more distance with them. They sound amazing too. Thanks

Yeah sorry to double post but i just saw your post. The final 4 at the long drive championships all had cobras. 5 of the final 8 did too.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
