The set wedges that came with the iron feature a milled face which added lots of feel around the green, and the ball reacted with good spin levels once it landed. These are really game-improvement clubs so they are centred on easy launch and distance, but they feel so much better than you’d expect from game-improvement clubs. The feel is forgiving and surprisingly quiet in the strike. You can also see the 3D Printed medallion in the back cavity in the head which looks like a small bridge situated behind the face and adds to the contemporary design.Įverything about this entire set is light, subtle and easy to hit. I think technology like this is bound to divide opinion, and will be especially hard to accept for people who are quite traditionalist about their gear, but Cobra aren’t afraid to be pretty bold when it comes to innovation and design and I think we can only applaud that. I actually didn’t mind this as I felt it made it easier to line the head up, but then I showed it to my producer and he said that it would put him off buying the iron. The first thing you notice on the Radspeed irons is the carbon fibre strip across the topline which instantly identifies it as Cobra. I also liked the fact that Cobra have painted golf ball shaped grooves on the face of the fairway wood which is also great for alignment too, as it helps you to frame the golf ball in the middle of the club head.Ĭobra’s favourite rails are again prominent on the sole like a set of skis waiting to help you out with turf interaction. There’s a smart, curved black head complete with Cobra logo on the top of the crown which helps you to align the ball. These are a great classical shape, without too much offset. It is essentially identical to the men’s Radspeed head, albeit it with a light pink colourway instead of the lime green.ĭespite the fact that the heads are both 460cc, the XB just looks really big down by the ball which is a great confidence boost, although it’s still nice and lightweight.

The XB Driver is larger and less offset than the XD, which is designed to promote a draw flight.

These products are in line with the men’s Radspeed range, with all of the same technology but just a light pink colourway instead of the lime green. This was proven again by the fact that the brand sent me their full range of women’s clubs from the new Radspeed range to review, including all 7 irons. They have championed Lexi Thompson since the day she turned professional, and have always had women alongside men in their marketing materials. Cobra have long been big supporters of the women’s game.
