This Was A HUGE MISTAKE - Mid Handicapper RUINED MY NEW DRIVER!?

[@scottschairer110]

If you can't clean that mark off, then Cobra owes you an apology. Cuz that's gonna happen a lot with others as well, and they'll not be too happy. It shouldn't be that easy to ruin. Otherwise, looks to be a great driver.

[@TobyGolfing]

I quite like the idea of that new sleeve adaptor. My swing can change a bit over time, and it'd be great to be able to change things up with a bit more variability when needed. They look gorgeous too

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

I think in fitting terms it’s great

Love it ,Brad laughing after putting sky marks on your driver head. 😂😂

What’s the one statement that James says more than any other….”I honestly believe that this club has the potential to be in my bag this next year”. That’s one big bag you got there James

[@johnnicholson9855]

Look at his feet .....he was aiming miles right, so no wonder he hit trees.

[@bob5365]

I always find it interesting that you make so many comments on the looks of the bottom of the club heads, which you really never see. It's either covered in the bag, or you only see the top while using it. In any case, entertaining and informative as usual. Those drivers have way to many configurations for me. I'd rather they took $50 off the price.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

It’s a great shout Bob. I guess it’s from the pro shop days staring at them

[@Lovetheducks]

I love cobra. I’m always so excited when they receive the love they deserve. I’ve played cobra exclusively from high school D-1 golf and messing around professionally. It always shocked me more people didn’t play cobra.

[@TimmerGfromBC]

His drives were going exactly where he was aiming. The non-fairway results are on him, and you Mr. James, not the driver. In fact, they were a testament as to how good this driver is, going straight where aimed. Love your stuff, keep it up!!!

[@quadplay2591]

Nice club, shame it marks so easily...terrible for resale 😢

I think the adapter is overwhelming at first but if you slow down and think about it, it's awesome! So much customizability! The DS Adapt will be my 2026 driver lol

[@ryanhorner1675]

That's actually upsetting that the driver marked up like that. To be fair, most of that strike was still "face" 😂 I know I've been up there before 🤷🤦

[@tjvbham5831]

James, I must say you do the best equipment reviews of the many KZbin golfers I follow. Also, your videos are never without a few laughs.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Thanks buddy. Lovely dog as well that

[@craigbrand712]

That cobra looks awesome that loft sleeve would be great to delve into. 💥🤯

[@robinc3307]

Club abuse.... Playing at Hever Castle many years ago with two good mates...one tees it up on the second hole takes out a 3 wood....pulls it hard left into the water..... launches the said 3 wood.... as it hits the ground the head goes one way the shaft the other.....my other mate Duncan pipes up"very clever Mike....that's my 3 wood and you haven't paid me for it yet" He also later in the same round kicked the crap out of his bag ....got his foot caught in the strap and went arse over.....never a dull moment 😂😂

[@randallpennington5976]

All the new drivers will be really appealing! I am using a Rad Speed and keeping my money in my pocket until I get fitted for a LAB putter in the spring. I used to chase every new driver but no longer!

[@mattias4393]

Wow, a great new driver in the bag 2025, shocker!😂

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

I’m sorry mate

[@X00000370]

I also had a friend that left a ball mark on the top of my driver...The worst case of friend-club abuse was my best friend Bob who wanted and was allowed to try out my woods, he replaced my stiff steel shafts (Hogan Apex woods) to a regular shaft (I had no idea he would do this!). On the second hole, a par 5 "dog leg" left skirting a river, he took a "mighty swing", the head came off and we never found it. It's probably in the Atlantic Ocean by now.

[@tommiethatcher7265]

Poor Brett I felt sorry for the poor lad, fingers crossed it doesn’t happen with the other new releases

[@danielwarren2355]

Poor Brett, he got some stick for it 😂

[@gregmcdonald9022]

There’s no way one shot like that should scratch the clubface that badly. That shot wasn’t even popped up that badly. Most of the ball hit the clubface.

[@andyfrizzell4352]

The adaptor is a big step for fitters. You can adjust the loft and lie without changing the face like most adaptors which either open or close the face as you go up or down in loft

[@jergernice1]

Love the adapter

[@davidtomsett]

10:23 proof that all the FF33 adjustments are too much, unless you are a robot

[@finnguzz6448]

Brett channeling his inner Dave!

[@kevins5259]

Seems like a great club. A little Sharpie touch up maybe?

[@FalconZA]

I have skyed my LTDX more than a few times with absolutely no scoring on the face.....does this point to crappy workmanship? 1 top shot and it scratches even the face itself? Kind of rubbish.....

[@M82RKY]

Your fault for using Slazanger balls😂

[@VegBazzoBoys]

Well Dave can have a go with it now. 😊

[@MarkSamora]

JRob, Bobby is the most handsome cameraman and a good Lad!

[@Erictheking66]

That looks like a sandy/dirty ball made those marks... should always use decent balls, especially if you pay 500+ for a new driver.

[@anthonypapa9407]

You might need to get Mark back to mid handicap test if Brett keeps this up LOL

[@pedroc6823]

Most are over thinking the sleeve. It’s primarily for a trained fitter.,

[@petekenny3774]

It's the mini driver all over again 😂😂😂😂😂

[@MarkSamora]

I know exactly how Bret feels. I have plenty of sky marks on my MIni Driver from teeing it up too high.

[@davidtomsett]

Brett seems to dip down into the ball in the impact zone, hence the initial skied drive.

[@reyno9la]

Does the shaft position change when moving settings? Thinking of the shaft graphics.

[@jimconway5921]

You're letting Bret loose on the other 3 Cobra drivers after skying the 1st????? Thats true friendship😂I'm sure Dave might make a comment😂

[@wajopek2679]

How would a company such as SGGT fit you for a custom shaft using that adjustable sleeve?

[@WIB081]

Test em all!

[@colinpenson9029]

Inadvertently, Brett has discovered a topic that should be up for discussion. Should a golf club be so badly made, that you can potentially ruined it with the first shot, by hitting a ball a little high on the face? Would Cobra replace or repair the driver?

[@outwithdadog]

How can cobra be held accountable? Head still on the shaft. Shaft in one piece. Brett just got it wrong. And now owns a new driver, with a sky mark.

[@colinpenson9029]

@outwithdadog I thought I made the point in my post. Something that costs as much as modern drivers cost, that can be ruined on the first hit with a pretty common shot from an average golfer has to be considered when making such an investment. If a competitor provides a comparable product that is more robust, then I know where my money would be going.

[@willhumphreys2588]

Cobra are not great for sky marks, the older models have the same issue. My tsr2 has no sky marks, it’s second hand and I’ve skied it loads of times!!

[@rickreynolds4647]

Does the grip stay aligned when you change the loft like the Callaway does?

[@Powder148]

Dude has a Amadus laugh

[@davidtomsett]

Me again, Cobra say that you use the FF33 adaptor to counteract your shot shape, not to adapt your shot shape to it.

[@agclemente84]

Don't worry, Cobra will send you another one.

[@JackRainfield]

Look where Brett's feet are aimed at 10:26 and 10:55. Might that explain why those shots went to the right, instead of the club face setting?

[@Matt-rv1rm]

can you use the wrench during the round or only before and after?

[@M82RKY]

Read the rules mate….

[@njamesthomasl]

Infinity face was on the old ones for a reason 🙈 can’t believe it marked that badly from one top

[@matts7048]

That's what turned me off cobra, one skied ball and the paint cracked. (f9) I use ping now and that paint is armoured. I know it's not ideal to sky a ball, but it happens every now and then.

[@atfinthehouse8631]

What happens if you increase, decrease and alter variations between the weights?

[@chrisgirling1097]

You'll regret that Brett, Dave stil gets grief a year later for skying the mini driver

[@grahams3417]

Does the adapter keep the shaft and grip in the same alignment? I can’t cope with the shaft graphics coming in to view and the grip logo being on the side

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Yes buddy I’m some instances but not all

[@grahams3417]

Cheers

[@ItaliaJP400]

If that is scratched that bad off that one drive, Cobra is screwed with these.

[@MC-nb6jx]

So sh8te quality if it marks up like that on only a couple of shots🤔 Thanks for the video, it’s saved me from looking at them👍🏻

[@micksumo]

10.... you're having a laugh?! This is why I never let anyone try my driver until I've done something daft to it. And I've not skied a wood for years.... I'd be fuming.

Given their typical excellent performance and your affiliation through Puma clothes, it would be awesome for you to actually game one for the season. (Trade that one in though... it will always aggravate you)...

Pretty discouraging that it marked up that easy on one skied tee shot.

[@peterjackson5809]

Surprised James didn’t mention his really poor set up. He needs to learn to line up behind the ball
