Cobra L5V driver face and sole

Golf Monthly Verdict

We found this an extremely easy driver to hit, and the adjustable setting will offer forgiveness to players who struggle with a left to right shape off the tee when set to draw-biased (setting 1). The clubhead looked great at set-up and filled us with confidence. With over 30 custom-fitted shaft options available, the L5V is sure to be a hit for players looking to customise their games and the it already has a classy look to it. Retailing at £329.99, the L5V is not cheap, but will surely prove a hit with consistency off the tee its unique selling point. Where next?

Cobra's new L5V driver has adjustable settings, engineered to help produce longer and straighter drives than ever before. With two settings, “Standard” and “Draw-Biased”, players are able to use the Cobra L5V’s fitting torque wrench to switch. Indeed, with the Draw-Biased setting, the L5V will surely be seen as a game saver for higher handicappers who struggle with a right-to-left shape off the tee.
