Why We Like It
- The most compact fairway wood in the company’s lineup favors better players looking to lower spin.
- The titanium face creates more distance potential, especially combined with the lowest, most forward center of gravity of any Cobra fairway wood.
- Internal tungsten weighting surrounds the weight ports in the sole, moving the center of gravity low and forward so that shots launch higher with less spin for more carry.
- The taller face height compared to the X and Max models, particularly on the 3-wood, makes this an ideal alternative for the driver on tight tee shots.
- The face is designed with variable thicknesses across 15 distinct regions for more consistent speed across the face.
- The adjustable hosel features 33 settings for tweaking ball flight low, high, left and right.
- Top 5 in Performance, low-handicaps
- 14.5, 16, 17 degrees (with a 33-way adjustable hosel)

When you hit this one, it goes straight no matter what. Not much extra curve even if you hit off heel or toe. Distance was really good. Performance-wise for the same swing speed, it goes a bit farther. Don't feel like you have to swing hard to get good distance.
Molly

The stealth look is cool. The alignment aid on top is subtle but does the trick if you need some help getting squared up. High launching with great distance but lacks consistency on mishits directionally.
Matt
52, Handicap 11
3 years testing
Aesthetically, quite boring. In cloudy or lower light, the alignment blends into the crown too much for me to see it. Well-struck shots produced mid-height, almost piercing flights with a slight draw and good distance.
Megan
39, Handicap 0
1 year testing
The launch was a little lower and more penetrating, which helped it go a little longer. It went right through the wind. The ball came out right in the window I wanted. There is a good amount of adjustability in the weights to suit your ball flight.
Robert
28, Handicap 2
1 year testing
The smaller 3-wood head is inviting along with the subtle carbon fiber look on top. A lot of forgiveness; even on the toe it didn't snap with a draw, just came back. Wind did not affect flight at all.

Daniel

I like the maneuverability of this head with the compact shape; felt very swift through the swing and that allowed me to hit more shots. The shape also helped it stay slick through the ground. Higher pitched titanium driver-like sound at impact.
Gary
37, Handicap 13

Like the ease with which you can get this ball elevated and launched. A little shaping ability but always within an expected cone. Balance of the matte gray with the carbon fiber just subtly peaking out is a massive winner in the looks department.
Wei
55, Handicap 13
9 years testing
Beautiful dark finish, it really seems all business to my eye. I just absolutely love the loud-ish impact sound. It's loud enough to draw attention but not so loud to be obnoxious. Penetrating flight and it felt like I could work the ball on command.
Ricky
46, Handicap +3
10+ years testing
Forgiving as hell; it kept producing the same piercing mid-flight. When I jumped on it, the window was higher with more curve, but still in play. Really like the look. Nothing distracting about this one.
Jin
30, Handicap 13

Low launch. Penetrating flight. Heavy in the hands. Firm feel at impact. Like hitting into a wet bag of sand. Sounds like a clap at impact, but a golf clap, not too aggressive.
Skylar
26, Handicap 7
2 years testing
I like the blacked-out look with the white grooves. Looked satisfying and very clean. It's pretty loud but in a pleasant slapping way. Like if you're in a massage chair and the therapist really gave you a pleasing clap on the back — it feels great while being quick and quiet.
BK
41, Handicap 1
9 years testing
I like that I can swing hard at it and my misses aren't too spinny or offline. The good ones take off on a medium high window without excessive backspin. Better club for the tee than the turf.
Ryan
46, Handicap 14

High ball flight, easy to work both ways. Classic, simple look. A bit quieter which I liked, and not as firm as others in the category. Pretty forgiving, if I missed the face it didn't miss its line by much.
Peter
57, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
It's pretty easy to launch it. No issue hitting it in the air. Medium, boring trajectory. Has a little different feel to it, like a heavy metal feel. More feel than sound. The ball does jump off the face and the distance was very good.
Jason
48, Handicap 0
10+ years testing
Very sleek look. Clean and crisp. The ball gets up quickly and has little spin, so the ball stays in the air for a while. Heel and toe hits hung in there as well, so it was forgiving. There's almost too many settings, it's overwhelming.
RC
63, Handicap 7

Good performance and carry numbers. The right apex, the right ball speed. Just good all-around club. A little understated with the matte, but I like to see the technology at address. Really impressive club.
Ryan
49, Handicap 10

If you ever feel like you need to put your driver in timeout, this club will get you around the course just fine. Tee box or fairway, the ball flies long and straight; the turf is no match for its compact, punchy head.
Alan
30, Handicap 1

Long and high. Usually fairway woods that go that high have a lot of spin, but this had a flat flight. It got up there and hung up there. It was hot, but a controllable hot.
Scott

Great crack and smooth through impact with a lower penetrating ball flight. Forgiving. Consistently long. Really fast off the face. Mean crack like a shotgun at impact.
Paul
63, Handicap 4

Launch was good and while the distance wasn't jaw-dropping, it was plenty long. Sole glided over the grass; that kind of consistent turf interaction has been hard to find. No-frills look. Sleek and to the point.
Jamie
51, Handicap 5

Cobra has found a winner in the look at address and the scored silver grooves. Looks powerful and it is. Can reach back and really go at it, and it feels like heaven coming off the face. Trajectory is perfect — starts out low and driving then climbs. It's perfect.

Alejandra

Jack

It's a perfect sized head, it's like a clenched fist ready to punch the ball. The solid matte black with the black shaft makes it look like Darth Vader. Longest in class. So hot that it smokes. Very good geometrically.
Shane

Blistered it every time, like hitting a nail square on railroad spikes. Incredibly satisfying. Real density to impact. Like the feel of a rifle when you squeeze the trigger.
Matt

Good-looking club. I like the shape of it. I like the matte black, not very distracting when you look over the ball. Sounds a little on the quiet end, not popping off the face as much as I'm used to. It's a little soft — you can feel the ball compressing off the face a little bit.
Thomas

John
