Another 14g is positioned in the back for extreme forgiveness, while 8g is positioned in the front to increase speed. 10g of fixed internal weight is positioned in the heel to enable easier face closure for straighter, draw-biased drives. This second “Xtreme” model features the same slightly oversized 460cc profile as the XB, but with heel-biased Radial Weighting.

The RADSPEED XD debuts as the newest addition to COBRA’s driver offerings, answering the need for a draw-biased, straight-neck driver. High Handicaps: No. Test the XB and XD.The RADSPEED™ XD Driver features an oversized shape (460cc) and heel biased internal RADIAL WEIGHTING to deliver the fastest and straightest ball flight with maximum slice-fighting capability. If driving is your strength and you have good swing speed. Low Handicaps – Yes. This is the best Radspeed version for you… if you are a strong driver. You need to be a fairly strong driver needing to control spin and keep the ball down to play this Radspeed in my opinion. 26 are 5-star and 1 is 3-star because they don’t like the sound. There are 27 reviews at for the Radspeed. I hit a lot of low hooks with my mediocre swings. I needed my better swings to get my normal medium-high to high trajectory. It’s forgiving, but not the most I’ve tested this year. This driver and the LTDx are the longest I’ve tested this year. Also reminds me of the Taylormade SIM2 I tested about a month ago. Solid and muted like the LTDx, just the way I like it. The red, white, and blue on the sole look great, but the graphics… not quite as great. The Cobra logo is centered behind the face and rales on the crown help align and frame the ball well. The crown has a dark blue mat finish with a little bit of carbon weave showing through. The Radspeed looks especially nice at address. I love the Peacote colorway and I love the mat finish even more. Review of the Cobra Radspeed Driver Looks: (A) I needed my best swings to elevate the ball the way I like. My drives wanted to start and stay low and run once they hit the ground. I attribute this to a combo of me, possibly the wrong Radspeed clubhead, and likely not the best shaft for my swing. My misses were hooks into the junk and a couple pushes. On the course I had to work harder to hit good drivers, but there were a few. My launch monitor showed 154.7 ball speed, 1.52 smash factor, and 289.7 total yds. The Radspeed felt hot from my first drive on the range. My Experience with the Cobra Radspeed Driver I drove better the back nine with the LTDx both rounds. It usually takes me a few holes to get my driver swing right. My mistake was starting the front nine with the Radspeed and playing the LTDx on the back nine for both rounds. I played the Radspeed and the LTDx since I was testing both.

I only used both because I let a friend borrow the SC300 and I didn’t have it for one of the sessions.Ģ Rounds on the course: I played two 18-hole rounds at my course (Longwood) spaced a day apart. I hit irons in between every drive so my swing would stay in sync.ĭrives were measured with my Swing Caddie SC300 and SC200. (also helps with sky marks)Ģ Range Sessions: My sessions were a mix of testing the Radspeed, the LTDx, Ping G425 irons, and Ping G410 irons. They’ve increased the milled area by 95% by using an infinity edge design.They’ve save 7g of weight which they’ve moved forward in the clubhead to decrease spin and increase ball speed.The carbon wrap crown is 30% thinner and lets them reposition another 6g of weight to optimize performance.This is supposed to increase speed and forgiveness Another 10g of weight is fixed in the rear of the sole. The also have 12g and 2g adjustable weights that can be moved to the front or back of the sole. They’ve placed 8g of weight either side of the center of the sole right behind the leading edge.Radspeed Features and Benefits 1) Radial Weighting It has great looks and prices just dropped massively. It is no-doubt a hot driver and an absolute weapon in the right hands. You need to give this version of the Radspeed driver head a look if you are a strong driver of the golf ball.
