Everyone,
I have an original Cobra F speed that I really love and hit very well. This is the one with the Aldila firm shaft from I think 2006. The noise took a little to get used to, but the results speak for themselves. The next year Cobra changed the head design slightly, and moved away from the Aldila shaft to a YS. Then Cobra came out with the LV4, LV5, and now the ZL. (I have tried the stock S9 and it did not work for me at all - bad dispersions, and lost a good amount of distance compared to the older F speed).

My question is for longer term Cobra fans - has anyone converted from the older F speed model to any of the newer LV or ZL series? My driver swing is between 98 and 102 typically, ball speed after working on the golf galaxy monitors averaged 150MPH. What have you found after playing with the old and the new? The good, the bad, and the ugly as they say.

The sound of the composite heads does not bother me at all. Being able to work the ball is also not nearly as important as being able to hit it consistently straight (so the max MOI is important for me).

Thanks to all for taking the time to help me with this - being left handed is has been extremely difficult to find a shop with any of these to try first hand in the Cincy OH area.

I switched from a F speed to a S9-1. I didn't care for the looks or the sound of the LV4, LV5s. I really don't think there is much performance gains of the newer drivers. I would have kept using my F speed but it is a 10.5* and I went w/ a 9.5* on the S9-1.
