I tried the King Cobra 400 SZ 10.5* with an Aldila tour 60 regular shaft (60g) which is the non-conforming model. I hit about 220-250 straight when i was hitting well. I would like to buy a new 10.5* King Cobra driver with the same shaft that is conforming and has very similar results to the 400 SZ (long straight drives, very nice sound and a very forgiving club face). If you could recommend one of the new King Cobras which is just like the 400 SZ could you please pm me or post here and tell me the name and average price of it. Thanks

I just bought the new Cobra F Speed LD for $200 on ebay. I can't wait to swing it. The New Cobra Speed drivers are tuned for swing types. F Speed is for 225 to 250 yard drive ranges. If you go to the Cobra site you can put your information in and it will specify which speed driver fits you best. Good Luck

The Speed LD does make a very annoying sound though. If youd like a Driver similar to the 400SZ try the King Cobra F-Speed, its an older model but almost similair to the driver you like. I think it retails now very cheap, where i live its around $228. Where you live it could be cheaper.

Hmm...I might just try and demo some cobra drivers or I might buy one that doesn't suit me. Do I just go into a pro shop that has them and ask them if I can try them out or do I have to pay?

You can't go wrong with a Speed LD.

I have a Speed LD M which I think is a little too flexible for my swing but I can still crank my drives out there.

It is incredibly forgiving and it is amazing how much this club helps.

Although the mishits really are annoying, they are loud and very rough on your hands.

I have 2 Cobra divers I'm looking to pass on. Cobra F Speed Ld and I Cobra HS9. The LD is a 9 degree with a 55 gram Aldila Speed Tuned reglular flex shaft. And the HS9 is 9.5 degree with a 65 gram Aldila NVS orange Stiff shaft with a new Winn grip. Both are in just below new condition and include the Headcovers. Let me know if your at all interested.

Thanks for the offer but I am going to go to a launch monitor first. I found that I hit the 10.5* really high in the air but got the distance so I need to see what degree and shaft I should e using also. How come you are getting rid of the ld f? It it not as good as the f speed?

Actually I just A SuperQuad from this website and the LD has regular flex shaft and I decided to go with a stiff flex. Let me know f your still interested down the road.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
