Where it wins
- Distance79
- Feel78
- Looks78
Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a proven, do-everything fairway that topped its test class in 2022 - a high-launch, low-spin, forgiving neutral head for a wide range of players.
You want the lowest spin (the LTDx LS), a draw bias (the LTDx Max), movable weighting, or the latest tech.
Pros
- Finished 1st overall in MyGolfSpy's 2022 fairway test - above average for accuracy, forgiveness and distance
- Cobra's fastest, most forgiving fairway of its era - PWR-COR positions steel, titanium and aluminium low and forward for low spin and fast ball speed
- A high-launch, low-spin profile that suits all skill levels
- An adjustable hosel (loft and face angle, +/-1.5 degrees) and an AI variable-thickness face
Cons
- A 12g fixed back weight - no movable weighting like the LTDx LS or Max
- A more traditional, less premium look than the all-black heads that followed
- Now several generations old - superseded by the Aerojet and Darkspeed
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongA test winner - ranked 1st overall in the 2022 fairway test, posting above-average scores for accuracy and forgiveness, Cobra's fastest, most forgiving fairway yet, with a 12g back weight balancing forgiveness and low spin. Elite forgiveness for its era.
Distance
StrongLong and low-spin - above average for distance, with PWR-COR positioning mass low and forward for low spin and fast ball speed, ~140 mph ball speed at 2,764 rpm on a moderate swing. A strong, low-spinning distance head.
Workability
FairA neutral all-rounder - a traditional head and a 12g fixed back weight for a balanced, neutral flight rather than shot-shaping, the do-everything core model. Moderate workability, with the LS and Max the specialists.
Feel
StrongFast and lively - a powerful, lively strike off the PWRSHELL face, an energetic impact. A hot, satisfying sensation for a 2022 fairway.
Sound
StrongLively metallic - a fast, fairly loud note off the face, an energetic acoustic. A typical, lively Cobra fairway sound.
Looks at address
StrongTraditional and clean - a standard 162cc head with a traditional fairway-wood shape, a clean, confidence-inspiring footprint. A tidy, classic look, if less premium than the all-black heads that followed.
