@@lachieb5843 Maybe. But it's possible to create them so that they enhance the aero rather than detract. Like the 'turbulators' on a Ping, it's a matter of how the air moves. If they really want to cut through the air, they could also squash the face more. Which would force us to tee it lower but it would push less air. Basically a 3 wood with a a driver loft and shaft length. Pushing less air would make it faster. I remember when 460 cc heads came out. My driver at the time was a 350 cc Cobra. The move to 460 cc made you really notice how much the air pushed back at you. Especially since at that time, the faces were even taller than they are today though maybe not quite as wide. I still have that first 460 cc Cobra I bought. It's not a club I use anymore much, but it's fun to hit around corners when I play a course with a ton of left doglegs. It's offset by a ton so hooking it is easier than not.

I'm similar age, similar swing speed (up to 110 but on course, typically around 107) and am toying with the LS while they're currently marked down. Currently gaming a Sim Max and it can be a bit spinny at times. Playing into the wind it can be a bit balloony. What are your misses like with it?

@maxmylett4974
@maxmylett4974 Жыл бұрын
The reason they do not use the three weights is due to the effect on the overall weight on the club head. As someone who is a collegiate golfer and works with Pro Long Drivers regularly, the weight of the head is key for optimization and with clubs already taking as much weight out, they push the limits with the weighting already which can cause a change in swing speed. The drivers being close between the normal and LS is not a bad thing since low handicap/pro golfers look for minimal change and it only being 100 rpms is nice. Pros experience that same difference per factor of equipment like shaft and golf ball, so they can make the spin lower/higher if they want to elsewhere.

I tried all the new drivers at the start of the year before hurting my back and having back surgery and the only driver that preformed better for me on ball dispersion was the Callaway Paradym. However this was only slightly better on dispersion and my Cobra F9 still went further. In recovery I ended up adding 8g of lead tape to the heel and I am now drawing the ball and hit further than ever. The F9 is staying in my bag for a very long time and I have a back one if it breaks!! Totally agree Rick on the 3 weight option.. they would had killed the market with this!! Love your reviews!

Now they are in the thick of it, with all these companies having to produce it, because if they don't, they can lose market share to the competitors who still offer this "tailored" buying experience. When in reality all we really want is companies to make the effort to make an adjustable driver than meets the demands, distance and forgiveness.

First off great review. Love your videos. Love my AeroJet LS. Went for a fitting a little over a month ago. Increased my average drive by 12.3 yards from my previous driver Taylor Made SIM. During the fitting, I also tried the Taylor Made Stealth 2 Plus, Ping G430, and the Callaway Paradym, and the numbers came out with the Cobra AeroJet LS being the best for my swing. It also brought my spin rate down 698 rpms. Went with the 9 degree loft, but increased it to 10.5 degrees, went with the Kai'li Blue 60 S shaft. I explained to my fitter that I wanted to avoid the snap hook, as that was costing me strokes. I have the 12g weight in the heel and the 3 gram weight in the toe. The reason there are 3 different models, is the AeroJet Max is draw biased, the LS is fade biased and the standard AeroJet is neutral. I disagree from the standpoint of having 3 weights in 1 version. I think Cobra got it right with 3 different drivers. I also do not even notice the design you didnt care for by the shaft, but it was a great observation on your part. Until I watched your review I did not even see it . This is my first Cobra Driver and I love it. Thanks for all of your videos. They are really informative.

I won’t be replacing my Cobra F6+ driver. Moveable weight for high-mid-low launches. Hits laser straight and hard to hit fades or draws even when I try. Adjustable loft-draw-fade at the hosel. Been a golfer for 35+ years and if I need to drop back from stiff to regular shaft flex then a new shaft with grip onto the old F6+ head and good to go. I got lucky with the beautiful Dragonfly paint that morphs blue to purple to blue. It gets a lot of positive comments just on looks and then more on how it launches a ball.

Honest review as always. Your numbers with the F9 and Titleist TS2 and TS3 from 4 years ago were better. So, you are right in saying that the new drivers are not an improvement on a driver that can be picked up for £125-150. As a golfer with a limited budget, what are we really gaining from the improvements in technology over 4 years? TM original M2, Callaway GBB original Epic, Cobra F9 still perform as well as the current crop. Is the real answer to stick with what we've got until we need to replace in c 5-10 years?

I had an F7 and F9. Great drivers and loved their sound/feel. Not a fan of the face shape, too shallow and small compared to Paradym, Ping G430 or TSR2. Good point on making 1 driver instead of 3.

I’m upgrading from my Cobra Fly-z plus to the AeroJet this year . I agree, Cobra should just make one driver with three settings. What I love about my fly-z, you could put the weight in front or back, and adjust the loft. I guess the LS would be right for me, since I play my Fly-Z with the weight in front and set to 8.5 degrees. Cobra makes some amazing equipment, so very underrated as a brand.

The Bio Cell + is one of the best drivers I’ve ever owned. The F9 couldn’t keep up with it which surprised me. Check out Ricks review of the bio cell +, he was hitting bombs. Most reviewers were hitting it longer than their gamers including Mark Crossfield. Can get them cheap, smaller head probably keeps the spin down

I’ve watched several videos lately of different testers testing these new 2023 drivers and most don’t differ enough between each model that the average golfer would benefit significantly. Secondly they don’t differ that much between the previous models (except price). So making one club that can be adjusted to suit each player and players ability makes much more sense. As well as keeping the cost down, which at the moment everyone would appreciate. Good video Rick, all the best for 2023 👍⛳️🏌🏼‍♂️

Absolutely love Cobra Products. People are soo quick to go and get Taylormade or Ping and look past Cobra. I've had my F9 as a replacement to my second hand driver when I took golf up last year and it is nothing but forgiving and the performance is great. I 100% agree with Rick though that if companies just did a single option driver it would make life soo much easier and not mean you have to go out and get a new driver every time you change shot shape. Amazing review as always Rick. Not biased and just says it as it is.

I agree with your gripe Rick...that's exactly the reason why I bought the 2017 M1....rear weight adjustability and face weight adjustability to boot. More adjustability than anything else. Fully customised clubhead. Bingo.

Interesting take on making one driver. Reason they probably didn't was because of the input from the staff players. They likely insisted on having a tour model which is the LS.

Absolutely spot on Rick! I love my F9 driver, but would have gone to a 3 weight aerojet. Cobra definitely dropped the ball on this one!

I agree with your assessment and it's odd that cobra went this route considering Cobra literally made a hybrid with the 3 weight setup (toe, heel and back) called the Cobra King TEC (2021). This would give us optimal customization of our club if they put weights on all 3 sides. I did however end up purchasing the Aerojet Max since I slice pretty often and I will say that it works wonders. I now hit it straight or with 0 - 20 yard draw from my target. It is extremely rare for my to slice the Aerojet max unless I strike it off the heel with a bad swing. I've even hit the Aerojet Max on the far toe side with very little negative consequence which is amazing compared to my Cobra Fly XL. So far I love the max and how much it has improved my drive both with accuracy and distance.

The reason for not putting 3 weights in 1 driver is because the adjustability of the hosel. You can go F N D bias in that. Swing weights make a huge difference in how the club comes into the ball. So with weight changes and hosel changes that can really screw with the player. There needs to be a neutrality without big swings in weight change.

Rick couldn’t agree more with the ending. As a golf who is currently making improvements and swing changes. I am finding some… let’s say differences in my evolving ability to equipment. I was a huge slicer before, but now I have corrected that and potentially draw too much now. I am still learning to control my head. Anyways I agree. Why 3 different heads. Why not make one driver that does everything? Not just for cobra but for all drivers. Or even 2 drivers where you can buy tour level equipment and the other that’s for everyday joes like us to scratch golfers. Marketing catch phrase, the driver that evolves with you!
