    I have the Radspeed XB and absolutely love it. Got it for a superb price on sale. takes all the boxes for me - sound, feel, accuracy - the only thing I am missing is the matt top finish which they got now in the LTD X ! Well done cobra! superb golf drivers and by far the best value!

      @BloodySoup74 I got fit for a Radspeed 3w last year and I think it's in the bag to stay. Never hit a 3w that long and consistent. I tried most brands with my heart wanting Mizunos to match my irons, but Cobra is out performing everything for me right now and their prices are making my wallet happy too.

    When you hit the Cobra, it sounded just like the Callaway. I knew the price was low, and when you showed the distance data, I knew you would pick the Cobra LTDX. It does look to be a winner.

    It's funny you noticed the consistency in the Ping. I have the 425 Max and was hitting it the simulator yesterday and was surprised when I hit every drive to almost the same distance no matter where I hit it on the face, and with a tight dispersion.

  • @GRIFF22
    @GRIFF22 2 года назад +3

    The LTD LS is a bomber because it has a forward CG with an enormous amount of mass at the front of the club. This will mean you get more ball speed and lower launch on centered strikes, as born out by the results.
    Problem is that it has an MOI of 4300 which is incredibly unforgiving and would most likely cost you over the course of the season. Compare this to the G425 max which will give up 10 yards or so, but has an MOI of 5900!!

    • @cheezburger6130
      @cheezburger6130 2 года назад +2

      I now own the LTD LS and I'm having better luck hitting the fairway than I did with the Ping G400 and I was fitted for both. I gained a lot of carry and rollout is averaging 25 yards on the winter turf here in N. Carolina. My mishits are as long as my good hits were with the Ping. I like Ping products but the sound and feel of the 425 is really bad to me.

      Pretty simple. Buy an inexpensive used large “game improvement” driver and use it until it breaks. Be that 5 years or 40. Your scores will only improve thru instruction and hard work. What driver you’re using is of zero importance. Driver technology came up against PGA/USGA design constrictions 10 years ago. Any new technology is merely marketing BS at this point. Now if you’re a 5 handicap or less you may find a driver that suites you better but if you’re a chopper with a 12-30 handicap it doesn’t matter what game improvement driver is in your hands. It’s that simple. 😏

    Since I had my m2 have not found a driver that I have really liked - and tried even bought several- including Pxg amongst others (though as a leftie sometimes choice even to try out is limited). But I finally found the driver that I like, gives me confidence and am striking very well and performing - the Taylor made stealth. Unfortunately was not able to try cobra or callaway before but given the stealth is working really well and I like the sound, feel and look of too no need to venture further. Rest of bag - six different brands in the bag really good. So now a great complete set.

I told myself I wouldn't leave the ping brand because of how well the g410 worked for me, but I can't help but be absolutely in love with the LTDX (the blueish /purpleish version) and the Titleist tsr3 drivers. Love the sound, looks, and performance of both.

    Noticed you played A 10.5* in the Cobra and 9* in most others. Was this by choice or availability ? I ask because I have been in Cobra F9 and Speezone and always at 10,5* and sometimes adjusted up or down 1* depending on the head configuration. After a fitting I noticed my launch and spin were too high on the 10.5* and didn't get on it tuned down 1* but hit it great in 9*.

    Thank you for that. I have read somewhere else on the internets that Tour Edge has made a very permissive driver this year too. I am from North America and I don't know if that brand is available is the UK, but would it be possible to insert them in the list? The brand is more and more used on the Champions Tour, which is closer to what us amateurs can do on the course :).
    But other than that, it feels like the drivers did as expected. No big surprise for me, from the numbers what I understand is I can stick with what I already have.
    Very interesting to watch.

      I’ve gamed the ping g400 max for the last 3 years and recently swapped to the PXG gen 4 0811, the difference for me is massive, drives with the 0811 are a good 20yds longer with very good consistency and great sound, bought brand new from pxg online for £285 which is excellent value as you can build to your own spec.

    I absolutely despise hearing a high pitched ting at the driving range, over, and over, and over, and over again
