That being said, I like the look of it and am definitely interested in giving it a test. Sent from my Pixel 2 using MyGolfSpy mobile app Yeah, I'm sure all the tight lips we had to have may have built up for something radical. But i must say the infinity face to me is a pretty big dparture from what anyone has done, I know some may say it's just a different way to show alignment, but from what I was told at Cobra by one of the product managers, it also increases ball speed all around the edges of the face, not that we hope to miss out there And I as I said earlier, it's probably the first Cobra driver in few years, that I will actually seek out to demo.

FrogginBullfish Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 It's basically just a 360° cup face that's more visible to the eye than other brands. Using the milling lines as part of the aero package is interesting though, but largely irrelevant to anyone not swinging 115+ mph.

Tarheelvolvo Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Just read over Tony's article and have to say I'm excited to try out the new driver in January! Only critique would be a photo or two of the crown, especially that matte black action Thoughts on the design, MOI characteristics, colorways, weights? What do you guys think??

GolfSpy BOS Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 That matte to me is easily the best. I am certainly leaning that way if it works for me in testing. Coming from a G30 I’ve been looking at matte finishes for a long time. I’m looking forward to testing this versus an M5 which is on my list to look for on eBay over the winter.

I will be heading out to Phoenix in January and hope to have the driver and fairway wood for review by then. I honestly don't expect much difference when compared to the F9 on center hits but will be very interested in seeing how the Extreme performs on mishits with the fully milled face. I already have the F9 low spin 9* option so I want to give the more forgiving high MOI Extreme an extended review. tony@CIC and JohnSmalls 2 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

newballcoach Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 This is a great looking driver. It's definitely a club I'm looking at upgrading and will obviously be a must-try. If 2019 was the year of the driver then 2020 looks like it will have some stiff competition. However, since many OEM's are on 18 or 24 month cycles for clubs, there will likely be less competition. I think that will help Cobra as people may be more likely to test it if there are less other options. tony@CIC 1 Quote WITB Driver- PING G400 LST w/ Project X Evenflow Black Fwy- TM Aeroburner 16.5HL Irons- Callaway Steelhead XR (3-PW) Wedges- Callaway MD3 (50,54,58) Putter- Cleveland TFI Satin Cero Ball- Snell MTB-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
