cobra x speed?

[titleistguy]

Anybody playing a cobra speed driver? I've noticed that a bunch of guys in my Tuesday night scramble are playing these and I was wondering if anyone here has any input? They sound kind of weird but guys with swings a lot slower than mine are just crushing the ball! I've researched them on the cobra website but was wondering if anyone owns one and what they think of it. Cheers!

I got last year's Speed driver on sale earlier this month (clearance--the new ones were coming in, and I was bargain-basement hunting). It replaced a Ben Hogan CS3 driver which launched the ball a mile into the air and struggled to reach 200 yards.

I think the thing sounds weird (the only worse sound is the Nike SUMO2), but it feels all right to me. When I crush it right on the screws, there's a resounding crack throughout the whole area, and the ball just rockets down the fairway.

I've also noticed that I don't need to overpower the ball to send it 280 yards out in the middle with this driver, and it would be tough to make me part with it. I don't know how much of an insight this is, except "This is a great club", I suppose.

(Now if only I can work on not spraying my tee shots...)

I gave the X speed a workout at a Titliest/Cobra demo day and I have a relatively moderate swing and the distance was awesome. I tried the new D1 and D2 and preferred the the D1 and the Cobra X Speed of all the drivers I hit.

My dad has the Cobra F speed the one they came out with like last April...it's really good, he loves it. He hits it like 275 consistently straight. I say get it!

I demoed a Cobra LD M Speed Offset Driver and god was that thing loud....the sound at impact was so intense I actually felt pain inside my right ear. The head was all taped up too... produced a nice little draw though.

I have tried a 2007 X Speed Pro S and I don't think you need the advertised swing speed (105+) to get a good long ball out of it.
