Head to head

Cobra RADSPEED vs LTDx driver

Choose the LTDx for more help on off-centre strikes or a 12°.

Choose the RADSPEED if you strike it well and want the lowest spin and weights to tune it.

Both score 3 of 5 here, for different reasons: Cobra rated the LTDx high for forgiveness, a step below the LTDx MAX, and printed a 5200 MOI for it; it sold the RADSPEED as its lowest-spinning, most workable head of 2021, for handicaps of 0 to 15, and gave it no forgiveness rating. The RADSPEED puts 28 grams in the front and 10 in the back, with a 12-gram and a 2-gram weight you can swap; the LTDx sets 19 grams low and forward with a fixed 15-gram back weight. Both come in either hand; the LTDx adds a 12°, and it is a quarter-inch longer as standard, 45.50 inches against 45.25.
