Cobra King LTD Pro: It's Like Throwing Darts

Recommended Posts

What is the fundamental performance difference between the standard and pro? I am interested in a demo. Difference is I want to hit a reliable draw and take the right side of the course out of play. Seems like the pro head is for fade preference? Or are guys playing rignt to left with that head? Thanks.

You'll never take one side out of play, especially with a draw. If anything you'd want the pro head to just barely turn it over or miss with a push. It does a good job of eliminating a hook.

I see that nobody in this thread has kept the stock Rogue Black. Any reason for that?

 

Always been interested in this driver, but wondering if I should just pick up a head to experiment with

 

I still have the stock shaft. My club is just a beat up demo lol. The Golfsmith store was going out of business and didn't have a new one. Plus when I looked at the club it was the pro head with the regular adapter set at 10.5. I don't even know what that means lol but I hit it so well I walked out of the store with it for $160.

 

I have been thinking about getting fit for the shaft but I doubt it will make a big difference.

I got a pro this winter and LOVE it so far. But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and my tour issued 2016 M1 arrived today hotmelted and ready to go. Sadly it looks like the winter storm is going to push back the start of the golf season a week or two.

 

I threw a Hzrdus 75 6.0 in the LTD and D+ 70 for the M1.

Great driver but couldn't get along with the extremely flat lie angle of the LTD pro. 3*-4* more upright it may still be in the bag. I like a fade bias but my best strikes were just too hard of a cut to be playable and consistent.

think thats in your head bro, the lower the loft on a club the less lie angle affects direction. Driver is affected by Lie the least of all clubs. Maybe you had one with a very open face angle.

 

does anyone know what the lie angles of the 2 heads are? just how much flatter is the PRO? I bought the pro because I am a short dude AND I fight a hook. I hit the LTD Pro with a very slight fade or straight. I still turn a few left but nothing like I did with my bio cell plus(which I have loved). I feel like the flat lie is a benefit for someone like me.

Pro, if I remember correctly is like 55* in fade setting and 56.5* in standard while the non pro is 58* on draw and 56.5* in standard.

 

Did you actually mean 56.5* in both drivers for standard setting?

 

If you're shaft angle is a bit steep like 50deg then does that mean draw setting would make better strikes?

So if your swing plane is a bit steep, does that make you better off in the non-pro version so that your swing plane and the head lie are closer?
