COBRA L4V - The BOMB!!!!

[ROBOPTI]

Ooopps .... Meant 9F :russian_roulette:

 

Flex - You could prob get away with an untipped X - Maybe an S tipped 3/4 ish ...

 

107 ... Hmmmmm ... Thinking .... Gonna read you post again

 

IF you are missing right - Go S tipped 1/2 - to 3/4 - You probably swing a hair less than that in the real world

 

Do you know what weight (shaft) you were looking at

 

PM me so the 9015 / FT guys can put down the ROBO VooDoo dolls :lol: - (I actually love it ;) )

[dkaar]

I PM-ed you...looking for a 63 gram shaft. Do you know what length "pulled" shaft I would need to put in to get a 44.5" driver? Not sure if I want to drop $300 on a new shaft.

[keystone_56]

Anyone know the spec's on the stock Diamana in the L4V-x? (Tip stiffness, tourqe and bend point)

[Sunny Mirza]

I jumped on the Koolaid bandwagon a month back when my L4V F 9.0 with stock redboard arrived from the US. Its a demo club so i'm wondering if its comparable / better / worse than a used club?? previously had the Speed LD F which i was enjoying immensely but after going thru the 80 pages of pearls of wisdom on the L4V could not help but order one.

 

We dont have the benefit of a launch monitor in Pakistan to fine tune the optimal shaft (also limited makes of used shafts are available here) so i was wondering if someone can help id a cost effective shaft for me. All i got measured was my ss which is 105. i would have opted for the L4V X but my natural drive is a fade to a slice; hence the F.

 

Have read a lot about tipping the shaft but won't it have the same results if i choke down on the grip?? i am normally getting 275 - 300 yardage with a normal swing but reach 325 - 350 if i really crank it. trajectory is a trifle high for my liking.

 

Thanx again Robopti for showing us the right path!!!!

 

Help Wanted,

 

Still waiting for a reply to my earlier post. anybody out there???

whether or not a demo is the same as a used club? it depends on the condition of the demo...it could've been hit once and still be called a demo. if it looks, feels and performs well, no need to question the demo club.

 

on another note, i really considered kicking the l4v out of the bag early in the season. then yesterday, i figured out that i was standing too close to the ball. bombed every shot ~280-300 right down the pipe. hit 1 slice but it still went damn far. post honeymoon is here, but still loving every second of it! hehe

[rntazzz]

[bitt03]

Just wanted to post and share the love for the L4v, I had one since they came out and still the Whiteboard l4v combo is as good as anything out there. Still love the combo and hitting it miles. Maybe one if these days I'll demo the new drivers out there. But if it ain't broke, don't fix it. :clapping:

[chrisfx811]

So there was an L4V F-speed 10* with stock shaft sst pured at my local Golf Galaxy for $123.99, and I went home to grab a putter to trade towards it.... like a dumb@$$ I didn't ask them to hold it, and it was gone when I came back an hour later..

 

I am so pissed right now. :help: :aggressive: :angry:

[TAG617]

Grrrrrrrr, I HATE when that happens! Almost as bad as being outbid on Ebay in the last 15 secs!

After putting the L4V x against the R9, R9 460 and FT 9 Tour's with all the $300 shafts, I'm back to the L4Vx. L4V x was longest by a slight margin but the L4Vx is also the most accurate for me. Forgive me Robo for I have strayed and now have seen the light. Seriously though, these new drivers this year are something else. They are revolutionary in that we the consumers have so much control over shafts and weight configs. Great time to be a golf ho these days.

After 2 shafts and no love --------- traded my L4v for a Nike 5900. Now I know I should have been playing the 5900 last season. I have only used it for 9 holes but it was my best drving day for a very long time.

 

Straighter than the Fti and longer than the Fti I played a year ago and a thousnad times better than the L4 v (for me).

[kanzaclimber]

Robo,

thanks for all your help!

 

L4V F 10* + PM702 + Lamkin = world domination. So accurate. So long. So sweet. What took me so long.

 

 

 

H O L Y C O W. :crazy:

 

 

[TylerCole2294]

Hey if anyone has a L4V head in 9*, either x or f speed that they are willing to sell, please let me know. I am having alot of trouble finding the head only. thanks

[TapTap]

I just switched shafts on my Cobra L4V-X.

 

Ex--Fujikura Tour Spec SPD-761TB-77g, 44 3/4 in, tipped 3/4 in, D4ish weight. It is a great shaft, 757 bend profile--but a little softer in the butt and mid. Spun less than than the real 757 I have in my 2 wood. All black with the Fuji tour graphics-beautiful.

 

New-- Fujikura F1 Motore-65g model, 45 in, tipped 1 in, D4, a little bright with the red/yellow--but its growing on me. The tip-tech in the Fuji drew me in, I thought it would match well with this head.

 

Numbers-- SS plus .6 mph--109.4, ballspeed plus 1 mph--159.3, Distance C=R plus 2yds--283, Spin 2900+ avg (about 220 rpm more). Indoor monitor at a big box store, but on-course action seems to reflect these numbers.

 

Negligible numbers right?

Well the spin increase is a ball change--thought I loved the E7, but in the end I wanted more greenside yak. So, I am now playing the HX 56 again. I find logo overuns everywhere online cheap, almost E7 price. Fair tradeoff for 200 rpm.

 

And finally---feel. I mean F-E-E-L. It swings lighter, more connected, and I can really let the shaft out w/o worry. What a shaft, what a combo. Play tested at my 2 bomber courses here: Metrowest and Eagle Creek. 21 for 25 in fairways. I kept the Tour Spec around just in case the Motore turned out to be not all that, but it is and the Tour Spec will soon be in another club--maybe a Squareway I am flirting with.

 

And a recurring theme in this 80 PLUS page thread-- GRACIAS ROBO! :smilie_fuji:

[blade_man]

Okay Rob, here is the deal, had all sorts of problems with the L4V X, now has a BB in it in 63 gram, feels kinda whippy but I am knocking the crap out of it, it's flying to where my other driver would roll out to, I am getting a very high launch, the BB is a S flex so would tipping it about 1/2 to 3/4" do the trick or would a Code 6 or 7 be a better fit? Any other suggestions?

Thanks man and look forward to finding more fairways and shorter approch shots!!

[LBlack14]

Damn, 81 pages and I just now found this AFTER I pick up a L4V 9*F with the Stock Diamana RedB in it for a song and this one is a shade open thankfully.

[wldchld22]

ROBO!!! or anyone

 

still have to tell me who you are bro!

 

anyways....

 

with the prices on these things dropping, the ho in me growing and this thread growing i'm ready to make the jump but not sure on where to go exactly...

 

my swing speed is 105+

 

i'm swinging a 09 burner tp 8.5 with f6m2 stiff that strays to the right on me. then while switching shafts i tried my buddies nike 5900 with stock shaft and was bombing it! straight and long. my old tour burner with f6m2 had a nice middle low flight that kept me in the middle, but was shorter than the nike.

 

obviously i'd like the best of both worlds, long and straight. my miss is usually a fade...

 

should i go with a 9*F or a 9*X?

 

how is the stock shaft, or an aldila proto in these things?

 

Most importantly, my swing is getting better and faster as i take more lessons, I also have an aldila XPP6 waiting to go into something... could any of these combo's or heads be the answer?

[Qegurezi]

If you lose the ball to the right don't get the X. The F is made for this.

[wldchld22]

gotcha...i was thinking a shaft change might help as it will start out on target and then tail off to the right. every now and then it is straight right though...

[ROBOPTI]

WHAT'S UP BRIGADE ....

 

Gang ... I put a Tour X Axiv Black in an X & F head .... Ummmmm .... WOW ......

 

I have that in my L5 - F Speed & now the L4 ... I love the Axiv

 

Gents & Ladies ... L4 / Axiv - KILLER COMBO ... Its going into play manana .. i have a grudge match - and the big stick is coming with

 

GOOD to hear all the reviews - Playing catch up

 

The real answer is COBRAs last few generations of drivers are the REAL DEAL ... I'll put them up against anything .... and I HAVE bought them all ... They are all gone now ... COBRA has the BIGDOGs on the block right now - PERIOD

[blade_man]

Ok, I'm going to try the black axiv, 105 ss, should I go X or S with the head weight, thinkin' 79 gm shaft.....

[thirdearl]

i have the f in 10 with stock reg/shaft ss100 but back probs so a firm reg rather than stiff would be good,do you think a prolaunch red or voodoo rvs6 would get the launch down as i tend to balloon the normal reg shaft.i have heard the voodoo plays firmer than a normal reg(gen/voodoo) has anyone tried these shafts. cheers.

I'll give you a shout in lil bit ;)

 

I am thinking S .... especially at that shaft weight ... I am a believer of this shaft

 

I am headed your way in 3 weeks-ish ... May have to tee'm up !!!!

I'm glad you said that 'cause I have already order the S!! Let me know when you get close and if you want to come to the Bull I'll comp your round, if not I will meet you just about anywhere in the area (state of Ky!)

[wldchld22]

Hit my L4V F with XPP6 today. Gonna take it to the course tomorrow or the next day. Good launch with minimal dispersion. And for all of those who say the XPP6 is impossible to hit, think again. Almost wishing I had it tipped. Felt "loose". But, straight trumps all else Interested to find the spin rates compared against the PM 702X. Appears to be substantially LOWER.

 

God Bless

Jer

 

any up date on this combo? what's your ss? i'm around 105 and considering this exact same combo...

[thirdearl]

i asked earlier ref/prolaunch red or voodoo,but know i see the protopype is a high kick point (low launch shaft) anyone stuck one of these in,or compared it with the voodoo. cheers

[jaybone]

I have to say how much I love this driver. I went thru quite a few drivers in the last year and just really really like this driver. I have a slower swing speed and usually only hit about 220 or so. Its early yet this season and Ihaven't played alot, but I can see a noticeable difference in distance already. I am in mid/late season spots on the fairway, but its only spring with damp wet grass and plugs. I am usually looking for the next great thing, but since I got this driver for xmas and started playing with it this season I can say I don't even care to hit another driver.

[blade_man]

Got the shaft in today and pulled the BB out, black Avix is in waiting for epoxy to cure and should be able to CTL tomorrow and be ready for Sunday afternoon tryout!! Can't wait.

EDIT: Gripped and ready to go, will hit the range in the morning and let you know what it does for me.

[t4t3r]

Swung my L4V for the first time today in a scramble and struggled with it at first. Played a second 18 this afternoon and it was a totally different beast. Straight and long! Feel is great, stock Redboard is a little whippy but its got a smooth kick and gives me a nice boring flight. I also swung my MX560 a bunch today and that was bombing it out there too. The L4V is straighter by far though. Mishits result in just a push or pull that flies dead straight, very little sidespin compared to the MX560 and the FT-5 Tour. Face seems dead square compared to the MX560 (closed) and the FT-5 Tour (open). Glad I finally took the plunge thanks mostly to this thread!
