Any other Cobra lovers out there? I am a recent convert. Evangelical, even. I finally bought some new technology --- well, 2012, anyway. AMP driver, 3W and 5W. Very impressed. My R7 is very bitchy these days, staring at me with hatred from her cold station in the garage...

I lust the 2014 Bio Cell+ -- the technology all seems legit. (That slightly slanted sweet spot - cuz we tend to hit low in the heel and high on the toe - just makes sense.) Will wait a bit and hopefully can score some next spring, on da bay. (Chris Farley - RIP - "DA 'bay." I can just hear it.)

Plus I really like doing the cobra-arm-snake-strike-hissing-motion-sound after DARTING a 5W onto a par 5 from waybackthere. Confirms my playing partners' common belief that I am, at best, a childish assbag with a mustard-stained golf shirt. Know thyself, I always say.

Stay classy out there.

I liked the sound from my HS9.  Wish I would have kept it but the L5V that replaced it sounds pretty good too.  The new woods don't seem any better than the current Callaway or Taylormade stuff.

i love Cobra. I just bought a S3 driver off ebay. love the E9 face. i have been researching drivers for a while and i knew it would help me get better contact since i'm a newbie to the sport. i've read the amp cell pro is a beast so i'm waiting for next year for the price to drop on the used ones. anyway, i love Cobra. even the baffler irons...how they help out the beginners like me. love that the company focuses on everyone.

I had a Cobra Titanium driver Circa 1994-1995 when titanium drivers were still in their infancy.   Back then, I hit the ball on the upswing(still do), but I'd sometimes bottom out behind the ball and brush the grass before starting the upswing.....and the damn thing would throw sparks if the ground was dry!!  LOL...no joke!

That driver was a fire hazard!  hahaha

I'm playing a Cobra driver now that I picked up off a friend for $10. It's offset which has really helped me off the tee, but it's older so I'm sure that today's driver with newer technology might perform a bit better. Also, this thing is LOUD. Like, guys down at the other end of the range look over when I start hitting it loud.

I'm planning on picking up a new driver after Christmas, and the Amp Cell is high on my list to check out after the rave reviews it's gotten online.

A good friend of mine is a 7hcp and has some older King Cobra irons in his bag that he doesn't want to swap out.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 8 - Full swings with my 3H. One of my more consistent clubs, but the sim numbers weren’t good.

      Day 260: range session. Worked on my wrist stuff, while still keeping the weight shift stuff. Hit a lot of pull hooks.

      Eyes Over the Ball Is Not a Fundamental!

      By iacas ·

      Nah. I'll take eyes 2" inside the ball rather than directly over the ball. No good putters have their eyes outside the ball that I've ever seen. Few are over the ball. Almost all are inside somewhere. And the OP said "at least 0.5"."

      By HitemHard ·

      0.5" inside? Seriously, the ball is just over 2" so .5" inside is only 1.5" from dead center...thats close enough for most people to call it "eyes over the ball". I see people at courses 6" plus inside the ball or even worse, their heads may be over their shoes. That's what you don't want anyone to do. .5" inside for all practicable purposes is over the ball.

      Grip Issue?!?

      By HitemHard ·

      I used to have a re-gripping issue that caused hooks. The re-gripping happens at the top of the backswing usually in an attempt to get the shaft more horizontal. The solution is simple though. The last three fingers of your lead hand must grip the club firmly through the backswing and at the top. You cannot "relax them" or let them loosen at the top. If you're trying to get to parallel you need to do it with more rotation and not loosening the grip. Anytime you loosen those three fingers at the top, you will ALWAYS regrip the club into a hooded position. Sometimes that's the only fix you need. I would at least try that before trying to rehab your swing.
