Cobra RAD Driver

This was just posted on MGS site. Have seen other leaks and such, but nice to see some official photos up. Personally it looks busy on the bottom which is very Cobra, but I am sure if the past drivers have anything to say it will be a very competitive driver the rest of new comers to the market. 
What is everyone else thinking? Will this make the must test list for them? I would certainly be hard pressed to not try this one out, even if I didn't get along amazingly well with last years.

I think it looks great! I’m interested to get to learn more about the technology they’ve added that will make this a better performer than Speedzone. It seems infinity face is here to stay. Cobra drivers always seem to be amongst the most forgiving too, so I’m excited to give this one a shot when it finally comes out. Which is...when?

Compared to last year's Speedzone this embargo is quite a bit later.

I was hoping to see it in use by the tour players, but Rickie was still using the F9 at Mayakoba.. He really does love that thing.

Just one guy’s reaction, but an Asst Pro in MS said he tried it and it didn’t come close to the TSi3.... Again, one guy.

Importance of getting fit, right? The reaction to TSi3 has been crazy. It is clear they have a special product. I’m going to be impressed if anything from 2021 comes close to TSi3.

Amen! Amazing how just by watching videos on YouTube, and seeing how one driver works for one, but not another, doesn’t convince folks of the need for fitting!

RADliculous... it doesnt look as bad as I thought it would.  Building on what works instead of reinventing. 

[jddaigneault]

TXG video seemed to show the guys really liking it.

That is honestly one of the best shaft lineups I have seen. Not to many choices but for $449.99 def a reason to look cobras way vs the other big OEM's

Ya, having the Fujikura Motore as stock is awesome. I may have to dip my toes in the XB.

The second color option is much more appealing in my opinion.

[GolfSpy_APH]

And it's been put in the list to test! Love the dark blue color.

FYI, For Anyone interested, it can now be told.  The  RAD XB was the ET driver in this thread.

Did it "phone home" into your bag?

It's still in tryout mode   But it has had some impressive--for me as I always have to add--drives.

What are the current contenders?

[Vegan_Golfer_PNW]

The fact that the TXG guys said it feels like a merge of the Speedzone and the Xtreme in a tour driver really excites me for the added forgiveness and ball speed they may have packed in

TSI2 has the starting spot.   But right now the Hogan GS53 Max is very surprising and strong second.   RAD is in third.  Of course the G425 and Srixon Z5 will get a look as well.

Might as well add in the new Callaway driver and new Taylormade driver as well.

Aren't driver releases every other year?

For some companies.  Normally Callaway, Cobra, and Taylormade have a release every year.  Ben Hogan, Ping, Titleist, and Wilson are on a 18-24 month release schedule.  I can't remember the Tour Edge and Srixon/Cleveland release schedule.

[PMookie]

Well, after the two TXG videos, this bad boy has my attention!!!

Some have every year, Callaway and TM for example.
