TOUR LENGTH DRIVER TEST- Cobra RadSpeed Review On Course

[@LetsPlayThru]

If you enjoyed it, please subscribe kzbin.info/door/gb-p291xQ_hUx7hQtOb72A and let me know if you'd consider gaming a tour length driver.

[@robertsalazar5874]

Good test I think you had good distance with it but I envy your sim distance I have to hit a longer shaft because my ping G425 is at 45 3/4 in length but shorter then the SIM but since I hit the ball all over the face I can’t justify a SIM compared to a ping ... good luck

[@vuho5182]

I ordered this driver and it has worked just as your review suggested, low bullets! Very happy with the outcome.

[@Biglou1478]

Great vid. Love the detailed reviews and, more importantly, thank you for going above and beyond for the LPT family. I'm sure that walk back to the tee box wasn't so - THANK YOU!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks Luis, I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more, just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles for the golf people of LPT.

[@ronstainton1014]

Great video Gabe, so down to earth videos for us average golfers, still like your Sim thou, great job

[@LetsPlayThru]

thanks Ron. Yes, that one isn't leaving my bag any time soon.

[@johncooper4209]

Another great video. You seemed to have really good control with the Cobra and the distance achieved with the tour length shaft was admirable. You are playing great golf at the moment.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Appreciate that John. Yes, playing the best golf of my life right now. I have an insane goal to get down to scratch this year. 5.2 at the moment. Right now the only problem is not having time to play the full rounds with these videos, haha.

[@roberthudson3571]

Thanks for the video. Food for thought when I go for my fitting. Well done.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks Robert. Yes the idea came during my friend's fitting when I first learned the pros are playing shorter lengths. I had no idea.

[@timbo7457]

I just picked up this club, it was brand new , it has taken about 3 times at the range to get the feel of it. Once I had it dialed in I am going right down the middle or a slight draw. This has been a great suprise.

[@gordon4761]

Great review. Jealous of the sunshine. Pouring down in the west of Scotland.

[@LetsPlayThru]

At least Golf is back though right?

[@gordon4761]

Golf was not shut down in Scotland. English back today after 3 months. Cheers

[@LetsPlayThru]

That’s great to hear. I’m hoping to get to Scotland in the fall

[@stephendibari5010]

Great video. When you loft up, you close the face a bit... thats one reason why you didn’t see the right side of the fairway here on your “normal” swing. That could be helpful for some and not so much for myself, where my miss is left. I’d rather get a 10 or 10.5 and loft it down to 8 or 8.5 which opens the face. ALso my attack angle is +5 so i need to keep my spin loft in check

[@LetsPlayThru]

🙏 thanks. Makes sense

[@ChiliDippaGolf]

Great test with this driver Gabe! I like your idea of using this club on the links style courses.

[@MilesMartinGolf]

Great video gabe. I love these on course reviews.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks Miles! I’m equally having as much fun doing them 😀

[@jsweat67]

The logo on the OnCore balls looks great!!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks yes they did a great job. Such a fantastic company all around

[@davezalinko1354]

Firstly, i sure hope I can come to Tampa this fall. This Covid has to “fade” away. 😂😂 Great video on the Rad, I like your personality doing your videos, kind of like whatever happens, happens. One thing I do like about the Rad is the price. I haven’t hit one yet, only swung 425, and SIM 2. Will definitely give this one a try. Summer is coming need a driver to match my new G425 irons. Will also be testing out woods/hybrids. Speaking of woods and hybrids could you do a video on the difference between the two on course? Thx!!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Hi Dave, I sure hope it fades sooner than later. Price is very nice indeed.

[@robmatthews4680]

Great video as usual!!!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Many thanks

[@marioalvarado3082]

Bro, u don’t disappoint, just got done playing back nine here in Long Beach California fighting my slice or a fade at times you just gave me an idea maybe if I set the ball further back in my stance I’ll let you know,really wanna hit that driver you got going on right now but not if I’m fighting the right side

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes a little back in stance and possibly close the face just a tad and that will promote a draw

[@marioalvarado3082]

@@LetsPlayThru Done

[@michaelcarrion177]

Man that driver is overall awesome, and you did a great job really showing it’s pros and even some cons. My current driver is a Ping G LST at 44 1/4 inches and I absolutely love it. This Cobra is definitely something I can see myself saving up for and playing one day. I feel like that driver would be a great upgrade for me eventually. Quick question, is this driver head customizable? I feel like I’ve seen some cobra Rad drivers that were in red, white, and blue? Not sure though. Great video as always! 👍🏻

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes it’s weird you can order the driver in either the yellow &black combination or the red & blue version. You can adjust the loft, which is what I did. I turned this one up to 10°.

[@michaelcarrion177]

@@LetsPlayThru Ah okay that makes sense I thought I saw that somewhere. But yeah that 10° was money. Sweet video

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Nice review, I still love my M1, but this actually looks like a nice driver, I love a low flight driver and I keep mine at 8.5 loft.

[@colinschrank5576]

Yes Gabe looks like you should put that in the bag as it seems to be working for you.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Control is fantastic. Once I figured out the right distance away to stand, it was very solid

[@colinschrank5576]

@@LetsPlayThru that is one club I would love to try out as well as I love the matte finish one of reasons I have the Ping G410

[@beauv8206]

Just bought a 9° radspeed with a tour ad di-6 and love it

[@LetsPlayThru]

Congrats 🍾

[@JorgeMorales-do5pr]

Great video like always, thanks for sharing. Excellent. I already change my tsi3 with smoke black rdx for sim 2 with tensei raw blue like your driver, but I still asking me if I do right not taking smoke blue rdx shaft. I really appreciate your comment now you know about smoke blue rdx and your actually tensei shaft

[@LetsPlayThru]

They seem very similar to me to be honest.

[@JorgeMorales-do5pr]

@@LetsPlayThru thanks. Are you set your driver to 9.75 degree for better draw?

[@LetsPlayThru]

My SIM 2 is 9.5. Not necessarily for the draw factor, but more for better trajectory and slightly more spin to keep in air longer.

[@Giovanni-zc1lv]

Been playing 44 or 44.25 44.5 for years.! Much better and consistent smash factor. How about a video on Arcos? Love the workability!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Nice! I don’t yet, however I will be doing a review of it in April. How bout you?

[@pigbenis2687]

Which cobra golf shoes are those? And are you planning on getting rid of the sim 2 and replacing it with the cobra?

[@LetsPlayThru]

Shoes are Puma Ignite. I'll be keeping the SIM 2 but liking this Radspeed for certain setups.

[@pigbenis2687]

@@LetsPlayThru are the puma ignites you have spineless?

[@LetsPlayThru]

@@pigbenis2687 yes they are spikeless

[@James_Vaughn]

Good review. Your numbers are virtually identical to mine so I can really get a good idea of what to expect from driver just by watching your review. I currently have a Cobra SZ extreme 9 degree/rogue 60s, which I got for practically nothing, and it's a fairway finding machine. The extreme head spins a bit too much, but the head is so stable I can really lay into it and still hit target, so it's kind of makes up for it. I doubt there would be a tone of difference between the SZ and Rad, but I'm always looking at drivers, so I'm sure I'll give it a try. I do like matte finish as well. Those vero balls look to be pretty good also. Do you know what the compression is? I find for myself, testing balls on Trackman all winter, and even though I'm only topping out around 103 with a driver, that the firmer balls (TP5x, Tour BX, PV1X, etc) give me better ball speed and distance off the driver, the best being the Tour BX.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks James. These are mid compression - 78 on the scale.

[@geoman9324]

I find the same with the cobra f9 with a hzdous black smoke 60g stiff shaft - the penetration and roll is long

[@LetsPlayThru]

Nice!

[@Lawsurf1]

Another great video my friend. How does it compare to the previous year model?

[@LetsPlayThru]

Night and day IMO. These are a big step up

[@robertsalazar5874]

Thanks for the video I just subscribed and I wonder why you don’t have a electric push cart so you can film better

[@LetsPlayThru]

Welcome, Robert...I just might, especially as summer approaches and it gets super hot here.

[@robertsalazar5874]

Let me put it a different way...so you can have your hands free while filming Vs hold the cart...enjoy your videos keep them coming.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes that would be nice to have. Thanks Robert.

[@TheGolfClan]

Awesome video Gabe. That driver is made for a Scotland / Ireland trip

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes indeed. Thanks Dougie

[@chucklucas8747]

I just cut my speed zone shaft down to 44.5 in. It's a 45 gram shaft an it's great down the middle at less 85 percent of the time an I did not lose distance as a matter of fact I may have picked up a couple of yards

[@GDJ1957]

Hey Sir, I just started watching your videos yesterday and really have enjoyed the ones I watched. Love your aggressive honesty. I am a Sr golfer and I am looking for forgiving high quality forged clubs. I am a lefty and a 8 hdcp. from sr tees.

[@LetsPlayThru]

I appreciate that! Thanks. Callaway and Mizuno both make great forged options that have good forgiveness.

[@ryanmusgrave3956]

Hmm are you sure you got the Tour Length and not the regular? My Tour Length arrived today and has 16 and 6 GM weights in it. Confirmed with Cobra's website that these are as expected. The one you showed at the start of the video had 12 and 2 GM weights in it. Those are the weights in the standard length driver.

[@Foregrlz]

Great job......again! I'd love if you gave the Epic Speed another look......😔

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes if I can get my hands on one I definitely will

[@erock1070]

Interesting that your Garmin estimates like 20 yds longer than it’s actually going. Can you adjust it for temp and altitude to make the estimate more accurate?

[@LetsPlayThru]

There are some roll adjustments. I usually find it to be pretty accurate, but if it goes into the rough, it doesn’t roll and it’s definitely going to estimate more. I will be testing it for accuracy against some other personal launch monitors soon on the channel though

[@chachifeere]

did you have the heavy weight or stock

[@lederboard1955]

Great video. One thing to note is that when you add loft to this driver it closes the face angle so would explain those drives moving to the left. Look forward to more videos!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Ah that makes total sense. Thanks

[@jtrink]

Hey dude, any idea on what cobra did to this shaft to get it to be 44.5? I have the Radspeed with the stock 45.75 length and will cut it down. Not sure if Cobra just took the length off the butt or also tipped it. Thank.

[@DoubleBogeyBass]

I think we need to see a Bandon video 😁. I’ll meet you up there!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes!!! I’m hoping I can make it happen this year

[@dominickdelfino7552]

How long was your SIM2 you were hitting in the previous video? I went from a 50.5" driver to a 49.75" driver and I get way better consistency and more ball speed since I consistenly hit it out of the middle of the face with the shorter driver.

[@LetsPlayThru]

I’ve got the SIM2 at 45.5”.

[@DannyByrneDJ]

Cobra rad speed or Taylormade sim 2..?

[@robertlevens7908]

Radspeed Tour Length driver uses 6g and 16g moveable weights. Not what you used in the video. Please clarify.

[@TheRycooder]

cobra Radspeed or Sim 2??

[@jergernice1]

I put the weight in the back. Much much more forgiving and still hits darts.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Nice!!

[@bigg6golf276]

Come on bro!! You tellin me you need a diff driver for diff courses 😂😂😂 for 5 yds role😂😂😂

[@OneSlowLT1]

You being likely more in the sweet spot of driver length is where that height is likely coming from. 99.999% of people shouldn’t be playing a 45.5 driver......

[@ProfessorB.]

My driver is 43.5”; I am 5’7” with 32” wrist to floor…. Off the rack, stock, drivers are too long for most people.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes, it's an artificial way to generate more swing speed is what I've been told. Flipside is that lack of control. This will be a good choice for many I think.

[@DaveENC]

mmm, an inch shorter. methinks: " how much will this affect my drop zone radius.: :)

[@LetsPlayThru]

Haha, good point!

[@edruiz1202]

Love your videos! Fat fingered lol!!!
