Any difference in head shape/ face depth X vs LS?

The LS has a pronounced triangular shape to it.  The x is more traditional cobra.

I didnt think it was that triangular. It is less so than recent Callaway heads.

Every year since FLYZ+ I’ve had a Cobra driver in my bag and my buddies always comment on how good I hit that driver. But they never buy Cobra. Their loss.  Can’t wait to update from Aerojet LS to the DarkSpeed

I think it’s like the 24th. 
 

Obviously preorders before that.

Anyone know when shops start getting their demo heads?

Many already have them.  I saw them in the flesh earlier this week.

This is the LTDX Blackout Driver. It's what I have in my bag. Not the Dark Speed.

Crapola. Looks amazing. My bad

There is something unique here.. They may have cracked the high launch low spin code.. In my initial test with an 8 degree head. I was getting 12 degrees of launch and ~2200 spin.. For me that is crazy! I am currently playing a Paradym 9 degree and average around 9-10 degrees launch and 2500-2700 spin..

do you know what the loft range is for these? Is it 9 and 10.5 again (so the 8 you tested is a 9 turned down one?) or do they have a stock 8 degree coming. Apologies if I’m asking this and you’re sworn to secrecy

Stock 8 in the LS model.

awesome, ugh, excited about this one, now I can’t enter the bag is set challenge because I need to schedule a fitting. Thankfully it’s still ski season, so I can afford to wait a little bit for this one, since I’d otherwise have to replace the Rogue ST TD that my MIL accidentally broke when pulling into the garage too far and hitting my bag lolol

I'm looking for the original Epic SZ formula. Would LS or X do the trick as you ve hit them? I like to play higher lofts in low spin drivers

I had an epic flash SZ and I still to this day when middled its the longest driver I hit bar none. Caveat is when you are more than .25" off center on toe side you are done for. 

I have a LTDxLS now and happy with it. It way more forgiving more consistent and sounds better. Going to be hard to refrain from darkspeed however.

I just viewed the 10.5 LS against the 10.5 Aerojet LS and I wouldn't call it triangular, but it is definitely smaller looking like a 440cc. Face is smaller and front to back is smaller. Great matte black finish and all black head makes it look like a mean ball speed machine. The embargo end date is January 2nd.

Sounds promising. 2200 might be a little low for some folks, I know you put a nice move on the ball.  
 

What shaft?

Is the 8* head a different shape? As previously mentioned somewhere in here.
