Description LD Technology was too good to limit to a driver. Cobra took the technological innovations developed for the game-changing Speed LD Drivers and applied them to fairway metals. The fast-back crown, deep...
Summary: Went to a golf shop near my ofc last Friday and chanced upon a second-hand Cobra fairway 3-wood (LD, F-Speed w/ a Tour AD YS Shaft, regular flex). It was bought by a customer who returned it in exchange for a stiff flex. The store has put it up for sale at 30% discount vs. SRP.
Tried it at the range that evening and played with it over the weekend. Agree w/ most reviews that you must swing smoothly to get the most of this club. It is long but somehow I had trouble hitting it straight.
One thing I can't get over was the unusual sound it makes when being hit (like hitting a small tin can).
I am currently using a Cobra SZ w/ stiff shaft, but the sound is nowhere near this one.
Sorry, but have decided against the purchase and will just return to the store tom.
Summary: I have been playing golf for around 3 years; in that time I have been able to find a set of clubs that I love all except for a 3 wood. I have tried several and haven't found one that I have fallen in love with, until I found the LD 3 wood. The LD is a joy to hit, it's long with a little draw. I had a Cleveland lancher steel and I sliced the heck out of it, but not with the LD, the worst shot I have had so far is just a little fade. The only complaint I have is that the sound does take a little getting use to, it sounds more like you're hitting with a tin can than a fairway wood. But the bottom line, noise or no noise is that the LD is extremely forgiving and long from the tee and the fairway.

Summary: Cobra's onto something with this speed-tuning stuff.
This club is much better than its predecessors. Easy to hit off the tee and turf, and the ball gets up. Stick to easy-swinging this club and it'll go a long way.
The sound takes getting used to.
