Interesting comments on Aerojet not being up to the standard of LTDx. The testing results across the board didn’t reflect that at all. Even TXG/CC videos it was clear that Aerojet was among the top 2-3 drivers last year for ball speed, and narrowly lost to TSR3 in the bracket.

I love the approach to new driver reviews, the level of data shared and more importantly the honest feedback. i do however have 1 suggestion; As much as i love Ians perfect elegant golf swing achieving 300yards effortlessly on the fly his feedback would be perfect for the LS drivers, however in the real world Mikey would be the target market and a more realistic swing to test the more forgiving drivers and get a better understanding of whether the manufacturers claims are realistic, the ping 10k, qi10 max , darkspeed max etc. Please hand these reigns over to Mikey rather than you attempting to reduce the speed on your perfect swing. Thanks again for the wonderful content.

In my experience with Cobra F9, the stock weights were a bit too light for my swing. I added heavier weights to the sole, and my strike consistency improved. My clubhead speed went down, but my consistency improved. I suspect it would be the same with this X model. Add more weight, don't just move the weights.

I have very mixed reactions to testing Cobra drivers. Quality wise they are far more variable than the main brands: F8, F9, LtdX fantastic, Rad and Aerojet did not do it for me but I have always struggled with too much spin when I have tried gaming a Cobra driver (almost certainly my fault). Whereas with Ping, Titleist for example you know every year the driver will be up there with the best. But this year they have produced a beautiful looking driver, best of the releases so far and the head cover is just as good looking. Performance though, based on watching several reviews from people I trust, seems a bit mixed. The LS is the surprise, definitely the best of the 3 but overall I am not seeing anything from Cobra that beats the Paradym Smoke (and I hate the look of that driver). What might save Cobra is if fitting, especially if there is a weight kit with different weights to try, unlocks potential more so than other brands. So once release season is over and Ian & Mikey have a touch more time it would be fun to see what happens if you do a fitting for these
