Where it wins
- Feel78
- Looks78
- Distance76
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a do-everything 2021 fairway with mid-high launch, low spin and plenty of forgiveness - a fast, traditional-profile neutral head for a wide range of players.
You want the lowest spin or a deeper face (the Big Tour), a draw bias to fight a slice (the Draw), or the latest tech.
Pros
- Plenty of ball speed and forgiveness - 149 mph ball speed, smash factors up to 1.5, and speed, spin and launch that stay robust on thin, toe and heel misses
- Mid-high launch with low spin from Radial Weighting - 16g behind the face cuts spin, 7g in the back adds forgiveness and launch
- Easy to launch off the deck - over 14 degrees of launch even in a 14.5-degree 3-wood, for ~243-yard carries
- Cobra's best fairway of 2021, played on Tour by Bryson DeChambeau and Rickie Fowler
Cons
- A traditional, neutral profile - the Big Tour is the low-spin bomber and the Draw the slice-fighter
- Fixed Radial Weighting - hosel-only adjustability, no movable weights
- Now several generations old - superseded by the LTDx
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidPlenty of it - performance stayed consistent on mishits, with speed, spin and launch all impressively robust whether you miss a little thin or toward the toe or heel, plenty of forgiveness, helped by the 7g rear Radial Weighting. Very forgiving for a 2021 fairway.
Distance
StrongFast and long - just under 149 mph ball speed with smash factors up to 1.5 and spin just under 2,900 rpm for ~243-yard carries, the 16g face-side Radial Weighting cutting spin. Strong, low-spinning distance.
Workability
ModestA neutral all-rounder - a traditional profile with 23g of sole weight split between front and back for a neutral, balanced flight, the do-everything core model. Moderate workability, with the Big Tour and Draw the specialists.
Feel
StrongFast and lively - a powerful, lively strike off the fast face, an energetic impact in a head named among the best of 2021. A hot, satisfying sensation.
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 traditional fairway-wood profile, a clean, confidence-inspiring footprint. A tidy, classic look.
