Cobra is one of the biggest names in golf known for producing some of the best drivers, fairways and irons on the market. But for those just starting their journey in the game, it can be hard to justify purchasing a whole bag of premium equipment given you’re not really sure what you need.

There has been a real trend in creating maximum forgiveness with drivers this year from the likes of the Ping G430 Max 10k, TaylorMade Qi10 Max and PXG Black Ops drivers all looking to maximise stability across the clubface. The back weight on this Cobra driver also drags the center of gravity backwards, making this driver extremely easy to launch.
