![]() ![]() Trying to work the ball left to right with the RADSPEED XD, I ended up with near straight ball flight that validated the design intent of the driver. Not only was I not finding the far left side of the fairway as I had feared, my drives were actually staying right of center. Common to all three RADSPEED drivers are weight pods in the front and back of the heads.įor the XD, designers utilized 4 gram pods in the front to keep spin low while a 14 gram pod in the rear boosts forgiveness.Īdditionally, the XD has a 10 gram pod on the heel side about midway between the face and the back to promote face closure – a slice busting feature.Īs someone who typically produces a slight draw, the thought of a club that promotes an XTREME DRAW (hence XD), was a bit concerning, but my mind was quickly put at ease. In simple terms, the concept is to place weights as far from the club heads center of gravity as physically possible to maximize the radius of gyration. Readers of previous RADSPEED reviews may recall that the name refers to Cobra’s new RADIAL Weighting design. Feedback to my ears and hands was minimal unless my strikes were far from reasonable. Even though the sound and feel seemed at odds, they combined in a very satisfying way that had me thinking “boom” without feeling the need to swing hard. The Cobra RADSPEED XD offered an interesting dichotomy with a relatively soft feel at impact yet a deep pitched, fairly loud sound. ![]() That’s the kind of details you get with collaborators like Bryson and Lexi. But new for the RADSPEED drivers, Cobra designers revamped the center section to horizontal instead of circular milling for better moisture management (think early morning tee times). Although my photo makes the crown look mirror like, it’s much less so in a true ready position.Įxtending to the edges and beyond, similar to the SPEEDDZONE, the Infinity Face is still true to its name and still mesmerizing to look at. The deep gloss finish on the black crown is accented with pinstripe graphics and a crowned C alignment aid. Accents in white add to a look that’s busy yet somewhat expected of a Cobra club.Īt address, the clubhead is long face-to-back with a hint of triangularity. Slipping off the cover, the distinctive color across the sole of the XD continued to hold my attention, highlighting both the model and weight ports. In the bag, the neon green stitching of the RADSPEED headcover is bold and eye catching. In this review, I put Cobra’s third driver option, the draw biased RADSPEED XD, to the test.Ĭheck out the new Cobra Air-X Offset driver HERE Looks Matt Saternus kicked off our reviews of the 2021 Cobra drivers with the uber forgiving RADSPEED XB, proclaiming it the “the best feeling, best performing Cobra driver that I’ve ever hit.” He followed that up with the standard RADSPEED that offers moveable weights and a symmetrical shape. Designed to straighten out a slice, the Cobra KING RADSPEED XD driver also provides strong, consistent performance. ![]()
