Definitely 20g..i have a 3 wood with it in.the problem is i want this weight for my 5 wood. I have tried fitting a few penny washers in it so far but cannot get the weight up enough to 20g, im at 12 or grams so far before i cant fit any more! I have managed to contact the ebay seller so hopefully i can sort something.never thought this would be so hard to get hold of.thanks 4 your input guys!

I did consider lead tape,but never used it before and thought that being a fairway would it may not be ideal for sweeping along the turf. I went direct to cobra themselves who said that they dont keep spares of this model, so maybe i can try a local shop, although seeing as though i am struggling online i dont hold out much hope.

Hi guys, this may well be a bit of a long shot, but i'm wondering if one of you guys from the USA would be able to help me. I live in England, and currently use the cobra f7 fairway wood which is one of my favourite clubs...the trouble is somehow the orange 20g weight has been lost! I've been trying everywhere to get a replacement as i really want to keep this club,but it doesnt perform with the weight missing. Now, the only place i can find one is from a U.S company on ebay - see attached picture....the trouble is i cannot buy from them as they dont ship to the UK,and i cannot message them. I just wondered whether any of you guys could buy the item yourself and then sell it to me on ebay, obviously i'll cover the costs of the item and postage costs. If anyone is able to help out with this then it would be great to hear from you.thanks for your time. Ben

This is an excellent point,the plan is to get something in the 16/16.5/17 degree range with a very shallow head like my fmax wood...so i guess we are into 4 wood territory. Like i mentioned before i am a bit of a tinkerer and have also had the tm rbz 3hl which i like off the tee,but is not low profile enough to suit my eye off the deck. I would say my clubhead speed is 90mph with fairway wood...would assume i fall into the regular flex range,however the adams xtd ti i have is a stiff shaft,so maybe i'll stick a regular flex shaft in that one and see how i go!

Yes i do have to start it left.My sunday best if i manage little or no shot shape would get me 220-225 yards. If my normal shot shape takes place though (a moderate fade, i normally get 200 yards which is the same as my 5 wood distance. So my thoughts were,if i tried a 3 wood that helps out a little with draw bias and offset like my 5 wood seems to,hopefully i'd get less shape and a it more distance on a regular basis.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ But i know golf isnt that simple. I have had a tour edge ecotics cb1 15* in the bag which is a beauty off the tee (230 yards for me on a good one,just what i need), but i cant seems to launch that one well of the deck which is frustrating as it has plenty of power.

Thanks for the reply. I guess everyone is after the 3 wood they can rely on! I'm a recreational golfer but do like to tinker with my clubs- expensive hobby i know. I just dont think im consistent enough to get properly fitted for one just yet. I agree its definitely a swing issue on my part,was just wondering if draw biased versions have really helped people that much. My f max 5 wood is straight as can be most of the time, so was hoping a 3 wood version of this model would be the best place to start looking and be just as straight but longer. Then i saw the ping g sf tec at similar pricepoint 2nd hand and wondered if there was a direct comparison between them from people who know alot more about the game than a novice like me!

Hi guys,i am a high handicap golfer looking at purchasing a reliable 3 wood for my bag to eek out a bit more distance if possible from fairway and as a tee option. I have tried a few other 3 woods and dont have that consistency with them which i am looking for. I feel i can swing fast enough to launch a 3 wood,i have been trying the adams xtd ti set at 13.5 and can hit that 220 on a very good strike that goes straight...but mostly lose it right which is not ideal I currently have a draw biased 5 wood 20* cobra f max as my go to fairway wood which is my 190-200 yard club on a nice strike.this club suits me being draw biased as it goes straight 90% of the time.i really like low profile heads due to ease of launch. Because of this i was thinking of going with the 16* fmax 3 wood version in hope that it may perform the same for me gaining a few extra yards. The other option is the ping g sf tec 3 wood at 16*.......looks to be similar to the cobra in terms of design...which should i get? Any opinions are very welcome.

Ahh never mind...nice to know i'm looking along the right lines. Anybody played the callaway xr,the version before the xr16?...they seem to be pretty reasonably priced and plenty around on ebay....can be picked up for around £80 (€110).

Yeh i appreciate that. I don't expect a newer driver to make me a better player...if i can get a more recent one that inspires confidence then in theory thats a good starting place.then its up to me to make it work. I guess because my current driver was old and cost £20,its easy to discount for a shinier newer one with more technology to minimise the effects of my bad shots.originally i bought as cheap as possible just incase i didnt know how much i'd enjoy playing...but i am loving it and so sooner or later i'd like to upgrade my driver for something reasonable that will last me for years to come! Appreciate all the feedback!

Completely understand your point.i suppose what i am meaning to say is, will a driver from the past 5 years make life that much easier than one from say 2005? Have they come that far in 15 years in terms of forgiveness? And for instance,will an offset driver make much of a difference and would it be hard to switch back to a non offset driver further down the line? I line the cobra max and fmax but potentially they look like being designed for older or below average swing speed golfers? All im after really is a driver i have confidence in,i am not bothered about hitting 300 yard drives....200 yards plus with a respectable flight will do me all day long.

Hi, i am a high handicapper and have only started playing golf 3 months ago. I picked up a wilson dd6 driver very cheaply to get me going,which i dont mind but feel i'd like something a bit more modern (within the last 5 years), which will hopefully give me more confidemce and help to straighten out a moderate slice at times. I know practice and lessons are the best way to go,but i plan on being a recreational weekend golfer and so dont have loads of time to commit to this.i have an average 95mph swing speed and ideally would like an adjustible draw setting driver rather offset unless u think otherwise.i seem to be able to get good height from my current 10* loft driver. Im looking at spending max150 pounds (uk money) so ebay second hand most likely. Forgiveness and promoting a straight or draw based shape are my priorities...i am working on my in to out swing,but i normally hit straight if i slow it down and more of a slice if i swing faster. Any suggestions would be welcome.. Ive looked into the following drivers Callaway xr16 Cobra max (offset) Cobra fmax (offset) Taylormade m2 2017 Are there any obvious choices i am missing? Any input would be much appreciated!

Yes all regular flex,i swing a driver between 93mph and 95mph,so as far as i am aware the regular flex is the right fit.all standard length clubs. Yeh i appreciate i have a real mix,i intended to get used clubs from reputable manufacturers then see how i got on with them first and if i gravitated to a certain brand,hence such a broad range. I think i got carried away on ebay, every time i looked i seemed to pick up another club! All good fun though! I originally had trouble knowing my distances so would hesitate subconciously thinking i would hit the ball too far,so i bought a low end launch monitor and a used gps watch which have really helped me with club selection so i can strike the ball knowing if i hit it well it should go reasonably close.

Seem to get on quite well with the lob..which is a cleveland cg10 Got a real mixture of brands to be honest,i picked them all up 2nd hand. Wilson dd6 driver Taylormade rbz stage1 3w Ben ross vt xtreme 5w My hybrids are md golf superstrong 2h 4h, and masters mcz 5h King Cobra oversize ii irons Gw ben ross zip it Sw i bought new wilson harmonized And a new pinemeadow pgx putter. Looking forward to getting back out there now and getting proprly going as only played 6 rounds in total since started in early december.

Thanks for the input guys,appreciate it. Unfortunately im in the uk so golf courses currently shut which is annoying. Its given me a chance to hit some balls in a practice net,and also time to think about my yardages and set makeup before i get into it....hence my forum questiom.Currently have only played 6 rounds.is it unusual not to have a 6 iron in the bag and do i have too many hybrids? Will a 2hybrid go further than a 5 wood? Thats the only club i dont knoe my distance for..

Plus a putter of course!
