Cobra’s engineers have supposedly discovered that by increasing the radius of gyration and the distance between the front and back weights, they could create the perfect blend of fast ball speed, low spin, and forgiveness in one driver. ![]() Radial weighting, as previously mentioned, is the main technology story here - it's all about creating as much distance between the weights at the front and back of the driver head. If you've read anything about Cobra Golf in the last 20 years, you would know that a new driver means new technology, and plenty of it too. Cobra claim this is their longest draw biased driver ever. Weighting in the heel and a straighter neck makes the head look less offset at address. Radspeed Xtreme Draw - For those who want distance while reducing their slice or creating a draw. Radspeed Xtreme Back - For players who want distance through faster ball speeds and consistency across the face in the form of forgiveness and stability. Radspeed (Standard) - For faster swingers of the golf club who want distance through faster ball speeds. Instead of the usual two models in Cobra's driver line-up, this year there is three: Forgive me Cobra but when I hear the word ‘Rad' I think of 90’s American films and TV series'. Cobra claims that this therefore creates the perfect blend of faster ball speed, low spin and forgiveness.īefore I really get into the nuts and bolts of the review, a word on the name. The name was inspired by a radial weighting concept originated from a popular formula in engineering called the 'radius of gyration'.Īlthough this term may seem a little confusing to many, it's easily explained: Cobra are increasing the distance between the front and the back weights in the club head. Once again the price tag starts with a 3 and not a 4, which psychologically is a huge difference for price conscious golfers. This year's model attempting to carry on this trend of success is the Cobra King Radspeed. Pound for pound the best value driver on the market? You’d have to say so. Cobra continues to produce drivers that are cheaper at retail than the 'big four', whilst matching them in performance. Last year's Speedzone driver range really impressed me too, and I thought both models had something to offer. Going back a couple of years to the F9 Speedback driver, it is, to it's credit, still proving to be the go-to driver when searching for the best value big stick online. It has the longest driver of the golf ball on the PGA Tour as it's leading athlete and is also the go to club amongst players in the amateur game. In recent years, Cobra have struck a nice balance within the golf driver market.
