Where it wins
- Forgiveness80
- Feel78
- Looks78
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You're a mid-to-high handicapper who fights a slice or a low ball flight - the most forgiving LTDx, with high launch, a strong draw bias and genuine MOI.
You already draw or hook the ball, want maximum distance or the lowest spin (the LS), or want to work it both ways.
Pros
- Cobra's most forgiving fairway of 2022 - high MOI, control and accuracy in a high-launching, draw-biased head
- Genuine slice help - the LTDx Max averaged shots 30 yards left of centre, with high launch to dampen a slice
- Two adjustable weights (12g back for launch, 3g heel for draw) plus an adjustable hosel to tune forgiveness or draw
- Part of the LTDx line that finished 1st overall in MyGolfSpy's 2022 test
Cons
- A strong draw bias - 30 yards of it - useless for players who already hook the ball
- High launch and a draw cost a little distance versus the standard and LS
- Now several generations old - superseded by the Aerojet Max
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongThe most forgiving LTDx - packed with forgiveness and playability, with redistributed weight raising MOI for greater forgiveness and stability and delivering control and accuracy, the LTDx line finishing 1st overall in 2022 with above-average forgiveness. Elite forgiveness for its era.
Distance
StrongGood distance, a touch behind - 142.3 mph average ball speed with good distance from the fast PWR-COR platform, though the high launch and draw keep it a touch behind the standard and LS. Strong for a forgiveness head, traded for height and draw.
Workability
ModestDraw-locked - plenty of draw bias, shots averaging 30 yards left of centre, with two adjustable weights tuning a high powerful draw or maximum forgiveness, a slice-correcting, forgiveness-first head. Modest workability, built to turn the ball over.
Feel
StrongFast and lively - a powerful, lively strike off the PWRSHELL face, an energetic impact. A hot, satisfying sensation shared with the LTDx line.
Sound
StrongLively metallic - a fast, fairly loud note off the face, an energetic acoustic. A typical, lively Cobra fairway sound.
Looks at address
StrongClean and reassuring - a clean, confidence-inspiring footprint, a forgiving, reassuring shape. A tidy, accessible look for the game-improver.
