Does anyone know how Cobra drivers stand up to stuff like the r7 460 and the Burner. I was wondering because i had a chance to feel the face of one and it felt like the titanium could scratch your skin. I just wondered because i never felt another driver like this

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

Which Cobra driver did you try? I still have my Cobra F Speed driver. Performs well but it makes a loud noise. Not as bad as the Sasquatch more like the Calloway FT.

I tried the F-Speed and swapped the R580 out of my bag for it. So it stands up for me at least.

Yet I'm the only one who likes the sound. It screams "great shot" to me when no one else will.

The great thing about this driver is the balance of the shaft. My only problem with this driver was that I hit it too high. Still a really good driver. The Cobra hybrids are money, though.

The shaft I have is a mid-kick point. You could probably get a different kick point if you're hitting it too high. I hit mine plenty high, but that seems to work out most of the time. Less trouble in the air

Cobra Hybrids, definitely. The 4H is one of my best friends. I like the 3H, but I sometimes put a 5W back into the bag instead.

I rented a set of Cobra's at my father in laws club and, while only playing 9 holes, I shot a 40 with them - easily my best. I believe it was a F speed, the irons were FP's.

Cobra makes good clubs, imo - love the baffler hybrid

I dropped my r7 460 for a Cobra LD F speed. I hit that R7 way too high and I think it felt muffled. Last year's LD is loud, but I like the results.

I love the sound of my F-Speed. Turns heads and absolutely crushes the ball. Maybe next year I'll check out the F-Speed LD.

Had the r7 460 for one day and hated it. Cobra drivers are so awesome. Very straight and long. Also love the forgiveness of this club. Can't beat it.

I got the Taylormade 460 after using the old cobras that have recently became illegal. The Taylormade is just as good if not better, very forgiving and goes a long way!

What do you think is louder the Cobra Speed LD or the r7 425?

The L4V X is louder than both of them combined. Can't argue with the results though. Loooooong.

A friend of mine just got the new 2008 model Cobra driver and I got to hit a few with it just this evening. The heads on those things are the size of roise o'donnell..but they are not as obnoxious sounding as previous Cobra drivers. I hit a 10.5 (which is way too much loft for me) so i couldnt really tell you how well they drive the ball but its a pretty solid feeling driver. Good whip action with whatever shaft they put it on this year. It seems like it had a draw bias though so im not sure if it is a players driver.

I love cobra drivers. I have actually been thinking about purchasing one if I can find a good deal. Every cobra driver that I have tried since the SS series has been excellent. Depending on the player, some of the drivers can be LONG! The HS9 is probably going to be my choice if I can find a nice one for cheap

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
