Just got this as an upgrade from my LTDxLS.. anxious to see how it plays.. for the record i LOVE my current set up, but its going on 3yrs old so figuring its time for the upgrade.. the current driver gave me a solid 15-20 yrds extra simply because of the launch and spin so hoping to keep what i have and maybe gain ~>5 yds on average

@colecole4774 12 күн бұрын

Recently got fit into the Darkspeed X with an aftermarket shaft. I fully expect to be fit into an LS since I swing around 120 mph (or faster if I really get after it) but the dispersion was more consistent with the X. Plus more carry distance, it just didn’t roll as far as the LS. It beat the LS and the other top brands when looking at smash factor also.

@LKimuraC 5 ай бұрын

Well good thing with the release of Dark Speed, is that we could get to buy Aerojet LS at cheaper price but with similar performance. Darkspeed definitely got the cooler look though, but you may still get the very cool look of 50th Anniversary Aerojet LS for a 100 bucks cheaper! So, either way, its good news for all cobra fans out there!

@mvansb23 6 ай бұрын

I don’t think the new LS is better than Aerojet. You can’t get 2 mph faster with aerodynamics when both heads had the same size and same high skirt. The dark speed has a more rounded crown. That won’t get 2 mph. You just swung it a tad faster. The Aerojet face was faster in your test. But I’m pretty sure they are the same and you just had some better strikes with the Aerojet LS. Doesn’t seem like much of an upgrade unless you like the matte black better.

@michaelrood2751 5 ай бұрын

Seen a bunch of reviews and this new darkspeed has been faster for just about everyone I’ve seen test it

@christophercoleman6158 3 ай бұрын

I watched a comparison video last night of the Dark Speed LS and the Aerojet LS. The biggest difference was the dynamic loft. The Dark Speed LS was almost 3 degrees lower, giving you more roll out capability than the Aerojet. Other than that, they were almost identical. The most noticeable was the dispersion with the Dark Speed , which was tighter by 5 yards. This was done by a pro. Same shaft, same ball.

@taimurkhan6982 5 ай бұрын

I have a problem with their shaft offering - all low penetrating focused, hence less carry and more roll. Can you recommend a good high launch shaft? Or would it not work with the new LS, since the head is designed for a low penetrating launch?

@NewNineGolf 5 ай бұрын

Take look at the A series from LA golf. My buddy needed a higher launch shaft and that worked really well for him. It'll still work with the LS head. You can also try to move the weight back in the head. You can also try a higher lofted head.

Watching this again, but I had time to think about Driver Names.... but I could be down with Cobra Django Max, Cobra Django (standard), Cobra Django Unhinged (LS Version) Stupid.... but it made me laugh thinking about it. From the Quinten Tarantino film Django unchained. Also, I've been using the Cobra Dark Speed 3+ wood, it's phenomenal.

@lonelyplanet2826 5 ай бұрын

I think LTDx is Cobra's best golf club. It has a high balance of distance, forgiveness and good feeling. Aerojet had improved ball speed and maximum distance, but feeling and stability have deteriorated. Is ball speed and distance still the top priority for DarkSpeed? I don't think I will buy this club unless DarkSpeed has a total balance that surpasses LTDX.

@NewNineGolf 5 ай бұрын

The LTDx is a great driver for sure. I'll have to do more testing with the Darkspeed but I was impressed with the Darkspeed X right out of the bat. Seems to be a good balance.

Haven't hit the Air X. Lightweight club but all depend if it suits your swing. From the LTDx line to the Darkspeed. I would say theres a slight improvement in forgiveness. Aerojet and LTDx was pretty comparable. When I did my testing the Aerojet was longer but it was minimal and couldve been just that session.
