Gậy Driver COBRA AEROJET MAX 10.5S RH BLK CBR SPDR MNS AS

First Impressions

Although this has a slightly larger, more elongated shape than the rest of the Aerojet driver family you still get the increased curvature on the sole and the fast feel of the rest of the Aerojet models.

The crown is much simpler than the sole and I think this sits great behind the golf ball. I love the classic gloss finish but with the Cobra touches of colour swirls at the back of the head and a solid black alignment visual at the front.

This has the biggest shaping in the range but I don’t think you can massively tell. It sits really nicely behind the golf ball and the slightly longer front to back length of the crown is very confidence inspiring.

NCG Review

I tested the Cobra Aerojet Max driver with a Mitsubishi Chemical Kai’li White 60 shaft in a 10.5° club head. Typically I would opt for a 9° head, but I didn’t manage to get my hands on one. To remedy this, I chose to loft the club head down using the adjustable hosel.

There are a few downsides to this. One it opens the club face slightly. Two the loft is still more than a 9° model, and as a result, I saw more launch and spin than was probably optimal.

Straight away, it was clear just how much more draw bias this was than the Aerojet or the Aerojet LS models. I didn’t have one ball finish to the right of the target line which is perfect for players who lose the ball to the right and want to straighter out their ball flight.

I was surprised just how much the shots favoured the left side of the fairway, given I had opened the club face up slightly.

Often draw bias drivers are so optimised for shot shape they don’t always keep up in the distance department. This wasn’t true of the Aerojet Max at all. On average it only carried 3 yards shorter than the LS which is impressive when you consider the aerodynamic and head weighting differences.

I really like the fact all the drivers carry similar distances as it means you can pick a model based on what spin, launch and shot shape characteristics you need, rather than purely being driven by carry distance.

On centre strikes my spin was pretty optimal and fairly consistent varying from 2300 – 2600 rpm. However, on my worse strikes, this did jump up significantly reaching 3306 rpm on one shot which meant my distance dropped down a little bit and made my front to back dispersion slightly worse than we saw in the other two models.

Overall this is another great driver from Cobra. It is seriously worth checking out if you are fed up of missing the fairway to the right and also if you want something easy to hit high and need a driver that spins more.
