Reviewing the new TM irons???

[@stephendibari5010]

@@RickShielsPGA I just subscribed and there are no videos since day one in November 2022. Strange. I heard that on your podcast this morning. Assuming all of your reviews will be copied over to there and be posted on both channels. That would make sense. Been following you since about 2017 or so definitely one of the best club reviewers along with Mike Newton and Jay the golf nut

[@justineylandt1197]

I agree Rick 100% with the three weights and also should have called it the F16 Aerojet

[@Theuniquemindofjustin]

Would have been right on the money if they put in standard a 10g and two 3g weights. All together 16 grams to play with…BOOM F16 Aerojet!

[@mitchh6]

Wow. They really missed that chance.

[@jon4715]

I actually might have bought that...such a missed opportunity.

[@mikethewhizz5085]

I love Rick's idea with having three weights. I like what Mizuno is doing with their adjustable weights and I think the STG would be a fantastic review

[@lachieb5843]

The aero jet is supposed to be fast through the air and aerodynamic. More weights and screws create drag and weight therefore compromising the whole idea.

[@lassekock5515]

@@lachieb5843 but, it would be adjustable? So it compromises nothing

[@lachieb5843]

@@lassekock5515 by even having weights there and screws it takes away being aerodynamic. Hence why they have 3 options

[@holmer9413]

@@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.

[@gregstepney5629]

It'd be similar to the PXG woods, but they still do 2 drivers head shapes

[@mrb018538]

People sleep on Cobra way too much. Got my Radspeed driver last year and it was the best I tried out of the lot. Absolutely love it. Looks great, feels great, sounds great. Don’t discount them!

[@thomasmacgruber6701]

I got the RadSpeedX and gained about 30 yards on my drives. My friend who has a Sim2 just said today he is switching to a Cobra driver because he hits it better then his TM. Combined with the price Cobra is great deal for a driver. Highly recommend.

[@AnotherLostBall]

Sorry, but does that mean? (“People sleep on Cobra”) ….. is this a typo or some new slang term I’ve missed? (Serious question!!) 🤷‍♂️

[@Mildone]

Slept on it means to ignore it or slow to take up

[@Patchwork66]

I slept on them for the longest time and finally tried the RadSpeed and I have never looked back.

[@porkstamina]

I still game my Cobra BioCell driver and it slaps. Also a big fan of the baffler rails on their woods. Not sure why they seem to be moving away from that design on the newer ones though.

[@KenCsurilla]

I play the LS. Love it. Took some getting use to. I’m a really high spin player. My fitter was getting frustrated. 3 degrees up. 2 degrees in to out. Everything was spinning 3000 +. The LS with Kali White 70x was 1800 to start. Finally figured it out and now it’s perfect. One thing I will say… you have to tee it a bit lower. Small head from top to bottom. Very long

[@brianmcpeake2509]

I have the F9 in my bag for the past 3 years and love it! I start the season with the 14g weight in the back and then flip it fwd once the ground firms up and my swing is more consistent. I totally agree with your review and maybe once they develop something similar I'll consider upgrading, but for now the F9 stays in thr bag.

Right there with you. Aerojets a good year old buy, maybe two. Feeling lucky I chose the F9 and Cobra overall.

[@mulvihillmatt]

Absolutely love your take at the end of the one area they missed. Your version would be a fitters dream and would allow everyone to get something that works for them. Maybe they toss in a couple extra weights, or even sell a separate weight kit for it.

[@crackspider101]

Yeah, but people won't then have to buy a new driver 💰💰

[@Ghost-Of-Kyiv-]

Same thing as PXG

[@mulvihillmatt]

@@crackspider101 sure they would. It's the same way it works now, just with one model instead of 3.

[@kenbrown2808]

indeed. sell the head and include choice of 3 weights to tune it. fitter can tune it to the buyer and then if the buyer's swing changes, they can get weights to adjust it.

[@jonathanboxley5342]

Such a good idea with the 3 weight system, could also come with some extra weights so you can cover all options - 2 heavy, 2 light.

[@forthecarson1655]

Got fitted 3 days ago. All the new 2023 drivers were tested head to head for me (Ping, Stealth 2, Srixon, etc) the AreoJet LS ended up winning. AreoJet LS + Fujikura Ventus Black shaft 35 yrs old 106 swing speed. Longest drives during fitting were 310 and cut my rpm down to 2000

[@MitchGrinter]

Hey - 11 months on, curious how the driver has performed for you? 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?

[@mikealessi7761]

I like the color scheme of it. You are right do companies in general (not just Cobra) really need to come out with 3 different Driver Heads?

[@KMMHL2012]

They do now, the companies tried to compete with one another, and created this market for options to tailor to a buyers needs. 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.

[@ConnorLyon]

100% they do. A large quantity of players slice, probably half the golfers in the world slice it. Another large quantity hit the face so inconsistently they need the forgiveness. For the remaining amount of players who hit the centre consistently, they have so much speed they want less spin.

I agree totally about the 1 head!! I said the same thing when F8 came out and they could have been doing this the whole time. I also hate that they keep changing the movable weight design. Keep it the same size so you can use the same weights from all the previous years just like Callaway.

[@adamlaracy9860]

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!

[@tylerpalmer8973]

I'd be interested to compare the Aerojet LS to the LTDx LS that I currently play. I absolutely love the LTDx LS and I feel like it would be hard to top that one. The Callaway Paradym triple diamond is the only other driver that interests me at all out of the new crop. It looks super nice. That being said, I'm not changing drivers. Took me 15 years to buy a new one last year, and I love how it plays, so I'll be wearing that one out like the last one, haha.

[@jimmyculp8756]

Feel exactly the same way! Bought the LDTX LS for $350. Just could not fork out $600 for Callaway? The LDTX LS is 3 mph ball speed faster than the current Arojet?

[@leewhite82]

Just bought this today off eBay. £140 + shipping :) It's only a 9 degree and I prefer higher; I can increase the loft but that will also give it draw bias and I don't want that because my miss is a hook.

[@zacharylampropoulos7123]

Can always count on Rick this time of year with all the product reviews

[@coegj]

I loved the Cobra Fly Z and f8 driver, didn't like the f9 at all because it kept wanting to go left. I play a fade. Love the Cobra Speed Zone Extreme as it's been in the bag for two years and just this week I now have a brand new Cobra ltdx driver head in the house and waiting for spring to try it with my after market driver shaft of choice already here and home too. I love the Cobra product and I agree with Rick, this idea of one head with 3 weights could have been a winner. Good video Rick, thanks.

[@RobTonks]

Absolutely agree about the driver that develops with the player. Got back into golf last year after many years out and got hold of a Mizuno ST190G with the thought of helping my slicely shots. Now I've pretty much eradicated them - mainly though swing corrections - and have now adjusted the weights accordingly helping even more.

Just yesterday I finally found a reasonably priced 2nd hand F9 to upgrade from my $40 RAM driver I've had for over a decade. Never hit a premium brand driver before. After a couple bad hits, I hit that sucker center face and it shot off like a rocket straight down the gut. That sounds and feeling was incredible. Can't wait to get out and play with it.

[@gamerguyz5005]

Rick, I’m an Aussie here, love your videos been watching them for days on end now, please review the wheelhouse balls, I don’t trust any other reviews except yours

[@cleveland2022]

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.

[@jessyivy]

thanks for the honest review, really helps me choosing my next driver ❤

[@RICKS_HIELSGOLF.]

Congratulation🎉🎉 Your KZbin profile has been selected among my shortlist winner's massage to claim your prizes❤️❤️...

[@maxmylett4974]

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.

[@joemariscal3853]

Too new to golf to warrant spending big on any one club but definitely enjoy watching your videos and hearing your take on the pros and cons. Definitely giving me the right frame of mind to have when I do eventually go out and shop for a club that fits me and my play style, thanks Rick!

[@14goldmedals]

If your new take my advice as a 35+ year golfer. Buy only used clubs for real cheap and test them at the range to find a design that works for you then take time to really groove your swing to those clubs. Only exception is if you find a putter new or used that fits your eye and feels like magic.

[@giooquendo]

love my ltdx from last year and just based on looks, the only drivers i want to try are callaway, ping and tm

[@14goldmedals]

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.

[@jangofettV1]

I have LTDX LS I love it. It has stop my shots going right. The distance still amazes me and where I want to hit most of the time.

[@natezeune]

I just got fitted and tried all the major brand. I thought going into it that I would lean toward the stealth 2 with the ventus blue, as I had hit one before and liked the competition. The cobra wasn’t even on my radar. I tried it and was blown away at the sound, feel, and distance. It ended up being a great combo with the KBS TD 70 X shaft. I was hitting it over 330 yards on my best drives, a 25 yard gain from my 915 d2 with a stock Diamana shaft. Awesome club.

[@deanmackogolf8023]

I love Rick's idea. Clearly then, almost every OEM has missed the boat. That's why I am enjoying my PXG Gen 5 driver (for $299!!) so much, three weights around the head that will grow with me as my driving gets better.

[@MrMatthew262]

I just noticed the ltdx (which I have) has the same cutout. It’s a total non issue. I didn’t even notice till Rick said something. I’ve tried out a LOT of drivers and the LTDx is the best driver I’ve had yet.

[@bankorama]

Thanks to this review clip! 👍A local shop is selling these (1st hand) with heavily reduced prices. I am seriously considering buying one of them.

[@harvey785]

Rick, you raise a valid point regarding the '3 driver heads v 1 head fits all' philosophy...I completely agree with you but most manufactures have gone away from multi-weight adjustment - is there a reason for this? It would be interesting to ask some of the club manufacturers to find out.

[@Milkywaymike]

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.

[@SasquatchTour]

Totally agree Rick, I got to demo the PXG gen6 with the 3 weight port system I was able dial in a little more toe weight and back weight to protect against a toe miss low spin. My cobra LTDX LS is the longest driver I’ve ever played due to higher launch and lower spin with great looks and feel but is susceptible to low spin hooks. That driver would have been unbelievable had it had a back weight for a little added stability.

[@3C0N]

I’ve just been fitted for the AeroJet irons and they are amazing. Really helping with distance & clubhead speed.

[@martinsparks6410]

[@alestev24]

I completely agree with your take about one model with 3 weight ports. The funny thing is, Cobra had exactly that with the F7, which I still use to good effect. But my guess is that the marketing department got in the way....😁

[@Trippin_tales]

I got back into golf about a year ago, still using my old cobra irons which are definitely still usable for me, but I picked up an F9 head with a fitted shaft for 100 dollars at a local golf shop, never been happier. I see no need to buy anything new, but I do like watching all these new club reviews.

[@youknowwho8700]

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

[@HillbillyJedi88]

Fantastic idea with the 3 weight idea Rick! The last 2 years, we've only seen drivers with 2. 3 weights would have made this driver stand out for the versatility of the consumer for sure! I've see a few reviews on this driver, but you're the first to suggest it. Well done!

[@ajones957]

Looking fwd to trying it. I am thinking you are on to something with regard to the production of one head. Not only does it simplify production and, but it simplifies ordering and returns and distribution as a whole. I think people want to tinker, too.

[@Luluckyboy]

Hi Rick, I love your review and that 3 weights idea should have been a dealbreaker for Cobra. But I want to come back on your price critique. You said that they would have dominated the market if the price was 350 pounds. But to think about Cobra and the current state of the inflation they are actually doing a great job. the F9 came out in 2019 and costed 350. The current inflation difference between now and then is 17%. So if the F9 came out this year it would have costed 409 pounds. They probably calculated what the future inflation rate will be of June/July 2023 and then they are actually selling it for a price in 2019 which was then 345 pounds. The hard but sad truth, our bucks are worth 60 pounds less than just 4 years ago. I think that we still have the same Cobra we know and love! And that if they wanted to use us for their profit they would probably have raised it to 449 pounds. I hope that you are not reading this, like I'm a know-it-all, but an enthusiastic and supportive fan of you and Cobra! I just love Cobra for what they are doing and I believe they are doing this to love us! Keep continuing making your video's, I love them sinds the very beginning and I will never stop watching you! Kind regards, A proud LTDx LS owner and big fan of you!

[@harinand9762]

I currently have the RadSpeed and hands down the best driver I've owned. I had the F9 (still do) which was great but imo RADSPEED was the best Cobra driver. I'll definitely try the Aerojet and see if it's any better.

[@jabutch11]

Instead of the Aerojet they could have rolled out with what you were saying with the F9. Just with the three weight system, named it the Cobra Resurrect. After having the F8 and the F9, F9 face broke. I believe this is the year I will buy a new driver, i so far think I will be taking a closer look at the Ping G25 and the Callaway Paradym this year.

[@FloridaManRacer]

Very well constructed argument for the three weight system. I'd love to see you call up one of Cobra's club engineers and see if it's possible to either do a video in their truck talking about the pros and cons of that idea along with learning some basic things about club design in general from an expert. Or do the same on the podcast...

Great review. I still have my SpeedZone for the very reason you mentioned. I was intrigued by the RadSpeed putting 2 weights up front but didn't like the colors they came in. Last years driver looked great but I don't want unequal weights in the front. I would buy a 3 weight driver in black with 2 Equal weights up front and a third different weight in back that could be swapped with one of the forward weights to create draw or hook bias.

Cobra is so underrated for some reason. I got the Radspeed driver for Christmas and immediately went from around 240 average with a 10 year old Ping to 275+ nearly every time. My last round I hit a 326 yard drive that is easily my best ever. These things hit rockets

[@midgard_golf]

Gosh I totally concur with you assessment on the missed opportunity brother! I'm hitting the PXG 0311 GEN 5 because it meets exactly the format that you conceptualized for what this driver could have been. Three weight slots, and PXG sells a range of weights for the player to be able to outfit the driver with any weight config that they want, to include just putting the same weight amount in all three slots for those of us who just want to make that driver head exceptionally heavy. I hope Cobra takes that concept you depicted here to heart!

[@28harrison]

Cobra King F7 had 3 weights and that's a great driver!

[@brandonallger1795]

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.

[@jarlathbrine7904]

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?

[@roger130]

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've been playing the F9 irons since they came out and I love them. Once this driver came out, I bought last year's LTDx Max (not a fast swinger of the club) with the price drop. Can only seeing it indoors at a simulator, I'm in Michigan, USA. So far, indoors, I'm excited for it!

I bought my Cobra F9 because of your reviews Rick and love it. Of you are doing a giveaway for these, I am IN!

The weights in multiple positions is what drew me to the PXG gen5 and stealth plus that I currently use. I’m currently fighting a slice but with weight in the heel I hit it straight 95% of the time. As I improve, I’ll be able to reconfigure the driver to my needs. Sub70 has a driver with a weight system similar to PXG. I’d really love to get your opinion on that driver. And even with a ventus velocore shaft it’s sub 600 dollars.

Rick, as a massive cobra fan your review is spot on.... your considerations towards the end make absolute sense. Thank you for another awesome review.

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.

[@JonnyWaltersMediaHD]

Just got custom fitted for one of these felt really good

[@trevordon5890]

Brilliant idea Rick! Perhaps Cobra will improve on it for next year’s driver.

[@Iko0025]

Great advice - good info

[@nocturnalmayhem0]

i love my ltdx but ill never give up my f9 its my fav driver ever and hits so far

[@stevecaplan7029]

Totally agree I have an F9 and prob will stick with it for another year then!

[@bigleaguechew55]

Love the single model suggestion, Rick. I play a Ping SFT and now that I've gotten my swing under control, I'm having regrets and wish I had MAX. Could sell the SFT but the 2nd hand market for it probably isn't amazing and I'd have to order another driver, losing money in the long run.

[@stephendibari5010]

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.

[@paulleclaire2141]

You've hit the 1 driver concept perfectly. Great video

[@retgi1]

Thanks for a great review! I'd like to see a comparison of the Mizuno STZ 230 vs Srixon ZX5 MKII.

[@JcKrecid]

I completely Agree with your final point. 100% Rick Shiels for the win!

[@bakes402]

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.

[@hawksterzzz]

I agree on the 3 weight system, the Cobra King Tec hybrid has the 3 weight system and is a massive game changer. Liked it a lot but didn’t fit my game very well but is a great hybrid for those who don’t like to use fairway woods.

Been waiting for this all day since listening to the podcast on the way to work this morning 👌🏻

[@golferdan906]

great idea on the one driver. you pretty much explained the PXG proto driver though with the 4 weights!

Like your thinking Rick. I definitely would have upgraded to the Aerojet RS Edition, if this was available.
