Callaway vs Cobra drivers

[Tyceman379]

I’m new to this page. I just need some advice, I have the XR16 driver. I saw the new Cobra F8 and swing it today. I really like it. Has anybody played the Cobra in a round? If so did you like it? Other than the milled face plate, is there really a huge difference? Thanks.

Welcome to TST. I am not a club guru by any stretch of one's imagination. Others on here will answer your question.

One thing I can say is, either the Callaway, or the Cobra in the hands of a better swing will out perform the other. 

Also, one's comfort level in a club goes a long ways in the performance of that club. 

I have friends who play the brands you mentioned. Both are quite happy with their brand of choice.

I’ll probably stick with the Callaway. I’m comfortable with it. Thank you.

If you're going to spend $4-500, why limit yourself like that? Test every head, shaft combination you can. Every OEM makes really good equipment, and another one just might be a better fit for you. It's not like you're under a club contract, and Callaway is paying YOU to play their clubs. You're paying THEM. This isn't a knock on Callaway, I have 9 of their clubs in my bag. But if I found something that worked better....
