Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel Joey D’s Golf Journey. It is time for another club review. So recently I went out to um to Dicks Sporting Goods and I I don’t even know why I was there. I think I was just there browsing around and I found this 2024 Cobra Dark Speed driver was on sale for 300 bucks. Now, you are not finding clubs for $300 from the big name brands right now. Cobra is trying to, you know, reestablish themselves in the in the golf industry. Um, you know, it’s but what’s nice about it is their their equipment is awesome. It’s awesome. And you’re not paying the prices that you pay for Tailor Made and Callaway and all that stuff. I I don’t know if I I don’t know what the price of the 2025 Cobra driver is. the dark speed that’s out that everybody’s raving about. But this is the 2024 version and this is the X the X one. So there’s there was three brands. There’s the uh the super forgiving one. There’s the X, which is supposed to be suit suitable for all kinds of golfers. And there is the LS1, which is more for lower handicap golfers, very low spin driver, um, and can be kind of tough to hit if you’re not squaring it up. Even this one, if you don’t square it up, right, can can be difficult. It has two weights, right? You have your heavier weight in the back and the lighter weight in the front. You can reverse these weights. So, if I wanted to be a more forgiving driver, I can put the the bigger weight up front and the lighter weight in the back. Um, but when you want ultimate distance and lower spin, you keep the lighter weight in the front and the higher weight in the back. I’ve tried them both ways. So, I have decided that I my swing has been pretty good enough to keep that lower weight in the front and higher weight in the back. And I’m hitting this freaking driver. Great. Uh, I’m still learning it, still dialing it in, but man, when I connect with it. Well, you know what? Let’s just take a look. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Hey, so as you can see from those shots, I’m able work it both ways, right to left, left to right. Um, it goes a long way. When I really connect with this thing, I am in spots on the golf course that I’ve never been before, and I really notice it at my home course more than anywhere else. But I am telling you guys right now, if you are looking for a good driver at kind of a budget price right now, the 2024 Cobra Dark Speed, I would go with the X or I would go with the I wish I should know the the um the one for the the most forgiving one. Uh but the X is is suitable for most golfers, right? And you can, like I said, switch the weights out to have it be either be more forgiving or be lower spin and maybe hit it a little further. It is a fantastic driver. It feels so solid. Had a couple friends hit it. They all love it, too. So, shout out to Cobra Golf. Um, like I said, I’m not getting paid to do any of this, but if you enjoyed this review, please like and subscribe. Uh, it’ll it’ll help me grow my channel and maybe I can get more equipment that I that I don’t have to keep paying for because if I had to keep paying top dollar, I’m not going to be able to do um, you know, the giveaways and all that stuff.

Been a CobrA fan for many years now have the new CobrA Adapt driver with Newton lite 2dot shaft and Darkspeed 5 wd producing straight 💣
Great review Joey D! Loving the addition of the shot tracers to your shots. Sounds like this driver is working great for you. I wonder how much of a significance the 2024 model is to the 2025? I’ve heard great things about the 2025 and 2024. Thanks Joey D!
Love my Cobra!
Thanks for the review Joe and it looks like you’re hitting it great. Is the Newton coming out of the old gamer or yet to be decided? Keep having fun with it and thanks for pointing out a great deal. The second tier clubs don’t seem to hold the resale that the top 4 do, maybe because the top 4 keep perpetuating the myth? 🤔
Thanks for sharing your experiences with the Cobra Darkspeed driver. I bought a Cobra Radspeed driver because I needed a newer driver. Got it new at a steal of a price. I'm still practicing with it at home to get used to it's quirks 😅. Keep keeping us informed 👍🏽Thanks again🎉
Love my cobra DS ADAPT MAX K it is the 2025 model it’s so forgiving and it’s the driver I put that Newton shaft in that my son gave me from your earlier give away Welcone to the Cobra family Joey and Thanks You Love your channel
you got the weights the wrong way round. Heavy at back and light at front is more forgiving – increases moi, spin and launch, the opposite is true when heavy is at front
I'm a committed Cobra driver fan, the F9 model redefined the driver industry. I went from the F9 to the LTDx and still game it, am considering moving to the 2025 model after the 2026 model comes out, waiting on price drop. They are long and forgiving for those of us that don't hit the center all the time, when you do hit the center man are they crazy long.
Im a high swing speed low handicapper and moved from the aerojet ls to the darkspeed x. It's no shorter but night and day in terms of predictability. even with the weight at the back the spin stays down but you can hit it all over the face and be pretty ok
