I already have these drivers

-Ping G430 LS

-AI Smoke Max 10.5

-Qi10 Limited Blackout Edition 9*

-Titleist TSR1 9*

-Titleist GT4

-Ping G400 LS

-Great Big Bertha 2022 9*

I'm still gaming my very first driver ever (bottom one)

But there's something about the Cobra Darkspeed aesthetics and branding that seems perfect for me

I got the Darkspeed x driver and fw3

And mizuno fli-hi 4h and 5H, which are supposed to be a flawless one for one match gapping-wise with my 923 hot metal irons

Mizunos were cheap as hell since they're '22 release

Feels good to finally outgrow my 1st set of super GI woods/hybrids

Weird how I never even considered Cobra for golf clubs before. Had only heard of Callaway, TM, Titleist and Ping my whole life

After doing a deep dive, Cobra seems like the most chill golf brand out of the Big 5

I've used the same Titleist 915 for nearly 10 years. prior to that I had a 905t and a 975d prior to that. In retrospect I should have upgraded to the 975J and/or 983K when they came out. 975d feels weird as fuck to hit once you've gotten used modern sized clubheads.

What's your shaft, ball speed, AoA and backspin with 915? Shaft matters a lot more for a driver that old imo

I have no idea about any of this tech stuff, but I outplay every one of my buddies who are super into it even though I only play like 20 times a year these days.

At my best I was a 1.9 handicap for reference

Most good/professional golfers have no idea about the tech side. They just play the brand that pays them the most

I also briefly used a TM R580xd with a tipped penley 95g x-flex shaft that I bought on ebay. that was a fun club - hit low as fuck bullets but wasn't really practical for everyday golf

180. similar to me except 913 rather than 915 and i did have the 983k and also a 510tp

975D was 180 and you could bomb it but was very old school feeling even at the time it came out. the driver that got justin leonard and dl3 to switch from persimmon, each winning their only major shortly after putting it in the bag

I have one. Even at 9*. It's fine.

Jesus, stick with one driver and get used to it. Use it for a decade.

I was using the same R540 for 25 years prior to getting a new driver. I hit almost the exact same distance and consistency with a brand new driver. Driver tech is fraudlies.

I spent several hours in a sim with a pro tinkering with my various drivers last year with various weights and adapter configs. I never buy them stock and just go swing wild without specific intentions.

I'm hoping Cobra works out for me and I can unload my other drivers at Roger Dunn in a month
