Description Player Profile: 5+ Handicap. The ultimate in forgiveness, distance and accuracy. Super oversized 427 head design has a "hot" sweet zone across the entire face.
Summary: I used to play a generic driver and would have to compensate about 40yds for my slice. I could still hit it about 275 but never straight. I bought a used SS427 with a steel shaft for $40. I hit it 300+ easy and dead straight 95% of the time. It is going to knock 10 strokes of my game easy. I would recommend it to anyone who loves to hit it long.

Summary: This club is silly long when you get all of it on a ball. I didn't find it as forgiving as most do though. My miss hits ended up in other area codes. If you're playing with a bunch of high handicappers and want to put on a driving exhibition odds are that you'll impress someone. If you want consistency by sacraficing some yardage go with a Ping G2 which is easier to play. Better yet, grab an old Steelhead 9 degree with a steel shaft which is one of the most reliable drivers ever made. You can find used ones at any local golf shop for under $100.
Customer Service: Good. Head ripped off when I over torqued trying to cheat a dog leg. Had never done that before. Sent it in via the store I bought it at and had it back within a couple weeks.

Summary: I've hit this driver for almost 6 years now. It's the only driver I can hit. The country club guys laugh and tell me to try their much more expensive sticks so I do to humor them. I can't get my ball to go anywhere with their drivers that cost about 5x as much. I can always hit the Cobra long and straight and that's all I care about.

Shoots in the 80s
Model Reviewed: King Cobra 427cc Driver
Summary: This club is long and accurate. I finally upgraded from a driver that I never could hit. I was accustomed to hitting the three wood off the tee. I finally broke down and bought this driver after hitting several brands into the screen at a major golf retailer.
I hit this one the best so decided to purchase. I took it to the range and could not hit a bad shot. I was amazed and shocked. This club is long and straight. The club hits a nice straight shot or a pretty fade (I'm a Leftie) at will.
I would recommend to anyone to buy this line as I have the SZ 3 and 5 woods.
Customer Service: Haven't ever had to deal with them at Cobra.

Summary: While on business trip last month, I picked up a rental set of Cobra which include R-flex graphite shaft 10.5-degree SS 427cc driver. Its head is huge compared to my Callaway 2004 Big Bertha Titanium. I was impressed, I think the ball flies higher than my BB, it's easy to hit, and I think it's at least as long as my BB. If I had not bought my BB over a month ago, I would seriously consider this driver. It sounds as loud as my BB titanium. Based on what I've read so far at golfreview.com, most of drivers are good to excellent, we just have to find the one that fit your swing. I believe that the correct shaft to your swing is very important to distance and consistency, If you have money and time, try out different shafts and find the one that fits you.
