Cobra LDF Speed Driver
Golf Monthly Verdict

The depressions in the cluhead crown are a real help in alignment. The impact sound and streamline head shape might not suit all, but there's no doubting this club's impressive performance and towering ball flight.

Designed for the typical fast ball-speed player, the Speed LD-F driver boasts an impressive 5000+ Moment of inertia for greater distance, accuracy and consistency. The square alignment and precisely tuned clubhead and shaft generate high launch with a slight draw bias, for a much higher level of performance.
