King Cobra Speed LD F
Golf Monthly Verdict

The clubhead looked enormous, which gave masses of confidence over the ball. This was one of the most forgiving drivers and yet it still proved surprisingly easy to shape the ball. Produced the unmistakeable Cobra sound that some will love.

    Suprisingly easy to shape ball even with large clubhead.

LD stands for “limited dimensions” and Coba has pushed these to the boundaries with a steamline head shape that stretches a full 5in from front to back, helping increase twist-resistance, ball speed and forgiveness.
