Choose it if
- You miss the driver off the tee and want a bigger head than a 3-wood.
- You want to spend less: $479 is in the cheapest third of the 4 we price.
Choose something else if
- You play left-handed: TaylorMade R7 Quad, sold left-handed, 3.0 of 5.
- Regular is the softest stock flex (a Lite shaft is a custom build): a slower swing launches a high-lofted fairway wood more easily.

How the 3.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what Cobra publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head | 3 | A game improvement mini driver head, not the most forgiving kind Cobra makes. |
| Forgiveness score | 3.0 | of 5 |
Draw help, lofts, flex and hand don't change the score. They decide which version fits you, and the picks for a slice or a slow swing use them.
