Cobra is not the first name that comes to mind when you think of golf clubs. TaylorMade, Callaway, Titleist, an even Ping coming up before this unique brand. However, that does not mean that the Cobra brand has nothing to offer. Quite the contrary. The benefits of the brand can be seen in the Cobra Radspeed Driver. Cobra is a brand that attempts to give its players distance and control through technology. That technology, in the Radspeed Driver, centers on spin.

Cobra Tech

The Cobra Radspeed Driver uses a unique, but not unheard of in the golf world, style of head. The Radspeed uses various weighted heads to create a customer feel for the player. The options are the XB, XD, and the Standard. Each one has a different feature that it emphasizes: hence the varying weights.

• The Standard Radspeed: this head has a moveable weight that gives a lower spin. The lower spin is meant to provide the player with a higher level of control.
• The Radspeed XD: this head is designed to fight slices. Slices are a common problem amongst players. Especially for players who are attempting to gain high levels of control. This head is designed specifically for those players.
• The Radspeed XB: is the middle ground of the two club heads. Its weight is designed to provide extra forgiveness.

The Club as a Whole

The use of a weight has become a common addition to club heads throughout various manufacturers. While the addition may seem a bit odd, players have found that it adjusts certain aspects of the club. This adjustment usually comes in the spin or speed that the ball has upon landing. The Radspeed, no matter which head a player chooses, is designed to gain longer carriers through a low spin. The low spin is a variable amongst players. Some claim they have better distance and are still able to make the ball stop. Others claim that they need a high spin to achieve landing accuracy. Typically, players want a fast spin to increase control. However, Cobra has suggested that the control is not lost by this adjustment. Every player is unique: even those wanting a low spin. By having various options for weight, Cobra has opened the door for more players to use their clubs. A player is no longer limited by a singular choice to achieve the goal they are looking for.

Like Ping, Cobra is designed for players of various styles and varying experience level. The Radspeed is designed for players that have already dialed in their playing style. This type of player will tend to know what they need to get the ball where they want it to go. While players of lower experience will simply try to get the ball to the green with speed and power, certain players prefer precision. That is what this club provides. Precision in various options. Cobra is also similar to Ping in that the price point will tend to lean towards the more affordable.
