Love, love, love my Radspeed; this driver in the LS version takes it up a notch for sure. Saw the reviews of LTDx LS vs Darkspeed and whatever last years version was...this seemed to be better than last year's model and hits straighter and just as long as the Darkspeed. Saved about $300 and am very happy and impressed with this driver.
The dynamic with Ian and Ryan behind the desk and Mikey doing the testing worked really well with this video. Looking forward to seeing the variety of swing speeds in this year's bracket!
@@whocares3986 you have it the wrong way around. That’s more of who Mike is. Lots more to come also. Don’t underestimate how tough it is in front of the camera. Mikey will be awesome.
Great video. Mike looked way more comfortable in this video and Ryan was a great addition. Looked closer to friends having a conversation today. Very well done to all! Have to say i am looking forward to having a chance to hit this club in a few weeks. Looks very promising. Nice to see a focus on how club heads manage a miss hit. I would imagine it will be very relatable to most viewers here.
@@brianbartsch8486 it was never going to be an easy transition but I’m so proud of the boys for stepping up to the plate!! It’s only going to get better from here!!
Mike has a swing speed I swing at, and an accuracy and distance I’d be so content with. Swinging well and honestly so much value seeing information of a swing that it representative of mine! Probably the most enjoyable video I’ve watched since the change. Keep it up fellas x
Ditto. You’ve been keeping Mike a secret except for a video here or there in the past… Need to see more testing from Mike. Think his numbers are very representative, if not on the better side of most of us watching.
Love the direction you're going guys... different golfers testing the products will help people relate to those closest to them. Kudos to Mikey... for not only steppin' up to the first tee... but knockin' it 3 bells down the pipe.
Ian and team I really enjoyed this video. And Mikey!!! - Great job, enjoyed this one bud! Appreciate this may not be possible with every video, but this was a great dynamic with the 3 of you.
I really like this format with Ian and RB leading the discussion and Mike adding comments from the course. Sheesh that hole is tough off the tee - hope you've got a few others that would allow shaping it both ways (I don't think we saw any heel side misses in this test with Mike trying to hit draws all the time). Bracket sounds really interesting too with multiple testers at different speeds and delivery types. Thanks guys.
Testing w varying SS amongst Ian, RB and Mikey is a great change. Would like to see this comparison in one sitting if possible. Each hit around 5-8 shots each. Maybe during knockout rounds when u crown this yes winner. Great work gents
Great video. These are the first Cobra drivers I've ever found interesting. Really looking forward to seeing the fairway wood review though. They've caught my eye a bit.
I just wanted to leave some feedback on this video. I've been on the fence about buying a new driver to replace my vintage Nike SUMO. After months of researching I narrowed it down to the Callaway Rogue ST Max and the Cobra LTDx LS. After watching this video for the second time, I finally made my choice. Mike and I have similar swing speeds and ball speeds, and the way he hit the LS was exactly what I'm looking for. Finally pulled the trigger this morning and am excited to get it and start getting used to it! So, overall, thanks for the great video and helping me finally upgrade!
Just to add to the story, I received my LTDx LS 9.0 with the HZRDUS Smoke iM10 60 stiff shaft yesterday and immediately headed to the range with it. Compared to my old Nike, this is an absolute bomber. I was literally shocked at the distance difference. I haven't seen drives that long off my driver, ever. I'm a pretty consistent striker of the ball. I play a draw and can work it a little bit. The drives coming off this club were so straight, and penetrating in the wind, I'm just blown away. It may take a bit of effort to actually hit a high draw with it, but who needs to when it goes exactly where you're aiming every time? Even mishits were long. If you're playing an older driver like I was (15 years) I'd definitely take a look at the new drivers. Love it.
Although I miss and loved seeing Matty hits, now having someone with close to 100 club head speed will represent more viewers, sure gets me way more......
Ian hits it long way so they have that demographic covered. But I like to see hitters on this channel with more average Club head speeds. Good on you Mike!
@@scottmistretta4253 A) the tech is better than RAD, it was acknowledged during the launch of LTD x that RAD was a miss. B) that’s why we showed Mikey’s driver at the end. We’re not trying to say this driver is way longer. Like we said it’s just a tough tee shot that requires a very straight flight.
Yeah!! Mikey!! Cool session with you at the wheel. Looking forward to seeing Mikey be the driver of the bracket series. Just saying. He’s one of us. Not for long though, his swing is improving quickly. Lookout Ian, you may be creating another Matty before too long. Looking forward to your fitting as well. Awesome video.
Very interesting to see how a driver works for someone when the center isnt hit. Too many players focus on perfect center hits, rather than looking for a driver that improves on their avg missed strike
Crazy how much stabilization really is the new catch word for golf, but it is the real issue with most of us plebs on the course. We just don't hit center strikes enough, so finding a friend who can off forgiveness is so important. Look forward to see how the rest stack up against this Cobra and apparently Callaway offering the same sales pitch
Been a long time watcher and love the channel! However I miss Matt! Will still continue to watch the channel just going to miss him especially for the March madness driver season for this channel. Love Ian and his knowledge of equipment just don’t like the changes but who likes change 😂! When it comes to the cobra driver they missed the mark with the graphics and colors for me this year. Keep up the good work fellas!
I rarely comment on YT but it’s just not the same. I respect Ian’s knowledge but the energy that Matt brought to these style videos is what made them fun to watch. This feels more like a long corporate meeting than it does a fun YT video. Bummed to see about my favorite channel.
@@6thstringtender921 TXG was sold to Club Championship and according to Matt, his views did not align with the future of TXG so they parted ways. Matt has started his own channel and has everything that has been missing from the past few videos. Search Matt Bloise Golf on here.
When Matt was here: " we need more guys that hit it like we do" When Matt left: " we need more guys that can carry it 350 yards " Haha 😄 the masses are never happy lol
would have loved to see one hit off any where near center of face with the cobras:) i was thinking it was foresight but the best ball by far was the last one with the sim2 out of the center of the face....
I got just got fit this morning at Club Champion and my swing numbers are very similar to Mikey's...The LTDxLS was better for me all around then the Stealth or the Rouge. A close second was the new Mizuno driver, don't remember the name. Miss hits were surprisingly forgiving, Dispersion was great and I averaged almost 10 yards longer carry over the TM, Callaway and my current G410LS (all 3 produced very similar numbers for me). On good strikes I picked up closer to 15 in carry with 20+ in the total gained ... I haven't played Cobra products in decades but don't sleep on this one...
On the one hand, Mikey not hitting it THAT far makes you feel good about yourself, but then how straight he hits it makes you feel bad about yourself. Nice balance. :)
Couldn’t agree more. It doesn’t do me a lot of good to see Matt swing ten+ MPH faster than I do and still hit em all right in centre of the face. I care a lot more about how seeing how stable/forgiving the cobras were on Mike’s lower toe strikes. That’s what sells a club: keep the okay hits in good shape.
Your best reviews are the ones with regular players with realistic swingspeeds. Matty was fun because we were egging him on to hit the longest ever. It wasn't realistic though. More Mr Average please. We rely on you for honest data. I think you could go lower than average. Many guys with disposable income are competent players, lacking speed.
Excited about the prospect of 90/100/110 type testing, probably sits at the meat of the market. I’m curious how you handle Low spin models which are naturally marketed towards stronger swings, but also sheds light on how a good fitting can utilize all the heads from a range.
PaulD I’m waiting for Ian to fit Mike for a shaft for Cobra LTD x LS, then do a test, between his SIM2 gamer. Kind of an apples to oranges comparison with one optimized and the other driver not.
Go Mikey! - Been watching for a couple of years, and everyone always asked if TXG could get someone less like a Terminator to hit the balls, and Mikey comes along. Round about our numbers, blocks them to the right and is trying his best, and all people keep asking for now is Matt to come back. Either make your mind up viewers, or provide valued feedback. Great job Mikey!
Although I miss Matty-boy as well, it is good to see more "every-man" golfer with Mikey hitting. I am unable to relate to the type of swing speed and consistency that Ian and Matt produce. I think that having more average Joe's will help the rest of us to relate to these type of evaluations....I would be super interested to see the TXG fitting process evaluation with an average golfer...like me, perhaps! Keep up the great work team TXG! Ian's knowledge and expertise continue to be the core of this channel!
The most important thing to understand is to get fitted for a driver! Not be brand loyal at all. Everyone has that perfect setup for their swing,,,, ya just got to find it!!
I went full bag on Cobra, except for the Scotty putter. They did my irons and wedges in one day and I get them tomorrow. Kinda blown away by that. Driver and 5 wood in a few weeks when they launch. Can’t wait.
Very surprised by Cobra this year. A surprise to myself when I went for my driver fitting. Never considered Cobra until I hot one. Have ordered the LTDX LS with X-Stiff shaft. Cannot wait for it to arrive. Also added the LTDX 3 and 4 Hybrids to compliment.
Ian you should totally bring back Mac (the guy from the Match challenge) as your iron Byron. Dude was entertaining and had the most violent swing I’ve ever seen.
Love the txg production and structure of the content. Unfortunately I’m mainly here for the club reviews and regardless of swing speed if you can’t find a centre strike it’s kind of redundant. As good a player as Matty was/is he still mixed up the toe strikes and heel strikes when he wasn’t hitting bombs.
But isn't that the most accurate review? Some days you wont find middle consistently and you want a stick that can still perform even on days you don't have your best stuff. Nice to see someone with a more avg strike pattern get performance on those off center hits. The gains of modern drivers are next to nothing on center strikes but the gains for most golfers will be how far and controllable the ball is when they hit their avg bad strike.
I know you guys keep getting bombarded with Matty comments I've been guilty myself but have to let you know I really enjoyed this one keep it up lads and good luck Ian with the never adventure exciting times!!
For me Mikey’s natural shot shape of a pull/draw was certainly more evident with the Ltd ls. Not sure if his miss is right but id have more confidence with the cobra giving him the ability to be able to move it more right to left and there was no starting left going further left even with the toe strikes..
I have the same strike pattern with my F8+ driver with fitted Devotion shaft, as Mike did with the LTDx driver. Would a slight change in shaft create a more centred/optimal strike, or tee height/swing adjustment? Thanks, Jason.
Look up rick shiels guide to hitting a driver if you havent seen it already. Its very well broken down and explained easily. Im about to test it out tomorrow.
Looking forward to more head to head testing at different speeds especially slower as I just turned 69 and hit my Mizuno st 190 HL 215 yards to 220 yards carry.
As I mentioned in the Stealth review video, it's extremely difficult to compare products when one is hit far lower on the clubface. You know that hitting it lower on the face will lower launch and increase spin, therefore, nullifying any comparisons. I know you can't expect the avg golfer to hit the middle of the face all the time. But when dealing with such small sample sizes, it's imperative that you match the data across test subjects. Hit 10 with each club and then pick the 3 to 5 from each with the most similar strikes. Tha would greatly increase the accuracy of your comparison and would not be that difficult to do.
It would be interesting to know what percentage of the players you fit swing above 100mph or perhaps 110mph? I can only speak for myself but I don't come here for high speed entertainment, I come for game help and appreciate seeing Radar Mike at a nice speed . I used to be fast but now as an old guy I'm around 108-110mph and fear that the game and focus is leaving me behind. I'm also questioning the Ventus Black 6S I'm playing if the Black is as Ian said only for stronger faster players. Don't grow old boys, don't grow old!
Michael should be doing most of everything since his swingspeed is much closer to avg golfers. It is much more beneficial. I use him as my benchmark. I bought the ltd x and my best was 148mph ball speed, 288 total pretty close to Mikey. Just started golfing again after 5 years, so hopefully I will catch Mikey by end of year.
Please do a fitting with Mikey and then let’s see a compare against his current Sim2 again... If you look at the overlap in standard deviation for all values, these three drivers are performing equivalent and also the dispersion circles are pretty much the same. Due to the widespread use of launch monitors in testing companies finally had to admit that distance is the same year in year out... now their are selling their product on the much less quantifiable forgives theme... which is funny because MOI has a defined legal limit just like COR has... so again there is no opportunity for year to year gains... people just want to believe they actually buy a better product compared to last year. Buy a shiny new toy because it looks nice but don’t try to buy an advantage because it is not out there
I’m excited for the bracket this year! Ping G425 Max just flew a little too high and spun a little too much, so the stability of these low spin heads are making it hard to pick!
Love these tests and LOVE to see performance of off-center strikes, because that's a better indication of how the club will perform for me 😉 A solid 10% more distance when Mike hit the sweet spot.
Love, love, love my Radspeed; this driver in the LS version takes it up a notch for sure. Saw the reviews of LTDx LS vs Darkspeed and whatever last years version was...this seemed to be better than last year's model and hits straighter and just as long as the Darkspeed. Saved about $300 and am very happy and impressed with this driver.
Great swinging Mike, “Cut those trees,😂” love it!

I said the same thing. Having more relatable club head speeds and skill levels may end up providing additional data points for ppl
Why did he leave?
But good grief does it make it less interesting. I'd rather watch someone hit 350 all day than 250

13:32 What were the elevation/temperature settings? 283y carry with 150.5mph ball speed is realistically unheard of…
This was super fun, great collaboration between the boys 🥃
Great video! Nice comparisons. Good to see Mikey swing it with confidence 👌

Great job..... nobody talking over each over and smooth!

Caught that right away. What a scene that would be at 121mph. Guy grunting and screaming with music pounding as he pops 180 yard drives out there😂
On the one hand, Mikey not hitting it THAT far makes you feel good about yourself, but then how straight he hits it makes you feel bad about yourself. Nice balance. :)

Thanks for the content. Love seeing Mikey hitting those 300yd bombs.

I really enjoyed this trio testing. Do this more.
Ian you should totally bring back Mac (the guy from the Match challenge) as your iron Byron. Dude was entertaining and had the most violent swing I’ve ever seen.
With Matty you could rly get into the minuscule differences bcuz of his consistency but this set up I think serves the widest amount of players
I think its interesting to see a more avg strike pattern player. Really demonstrates how the driver might perform for us mortals
what a well balanced swing. loved to watch that
Nice to see three knowledgeable people on this one and seeing Mikey hitting balls. Is this the new format? I like it.

I have the same strike pattern with my F8+ driver with fitted Devotion shaft, as Mike did with the LTDx driver. Would a slight change in shaft create a more centred/optimal strike, or tee height/swing adjustment? Thanks, Jason.
Mikey giving me inspiration if I can only learn how to hit up on the ball. Lovely attach angle. Time to grind!

Looking forward to more head to head testing at different speeds especially slower as I just turned 69 and hit my Mizuno st 190 HL 215 yards to 220 yards carry.
I really need to see video of shaft fitting for the cobra with mikey. 280-290 in the 150s ball speed. I cant wait to see what work can be done.
@JimSmith - what’s Matt’s channel?
As I mentioned in the Stealth review video, it's extremely difficult to compare products when one is hit far lower on the clubface. You know that hitting it lower on the face will lower launch and increase spin, therefore, nullifying any comparisons. I know you can't expect the avg golfer to hit the middle of the face all the time. But when dealing with such small sample sizes, it's imperative that you match the data across test subjects. Hit 10 with each club and then pick the 3 to 5 from each with the most similar strikes. Tha would greatly increase the accuracy of your comparison and would not be that difficult to do.
This is the new HOT F9 😁. Wow Mikey have some serious juice in that driver swing. Think Cobra will win the driver war this season.
It’s going to be in the mix that’s for sure!!
I actually like Mike testing these products - his speed is a lot closer to mine haha
Comment for the algorithm.
And because this is the content I love to see.
It would be interesting to know what percentage of the players you fit swing above 100mph or perhaps 110mph? I can only speak for myself but I don't come here for high speed entertainment, I come for game help and appreciate seeing Radar Mike at a nice speed . I used to be fast but now as an old guy I'm around 108-110mph and fear that the game and focus is leaving me behind. I'm also questioning the Ventus Black 6S I'm playing if the Black is as Ian said only for stronger faster players. Don't grow old boys, don't grow old!
Sorry to hear you have slowed down to 108-110mph. I dream of having that most nights :)
Hi, what shaft did Mikey have in the Cobra please?
Well done boys! Gotta be said takes some big kahunas to step up to a TXG tee during a review let alone faced with that fairway so 👍👍👍Mikey. 🤙 ❤️🏴☠️
Did the 2nd Matty video with the cobra team get scrapped or is it still coming? I know his statement said there would be videos on the 19th and 20th
Go to Matt’s UA-cam page. Matt Blois Golf, you’ll find them on there. 👍🏻
great video and a relatable ball speed and guy hitting the ball, Matty was great but not relatable to me
I had the 2016 LTD and boy it was long when hit perfectly.
Great dynamic. Keep this trio going! (although I know y'all have day jobs)
Lots more of this to come!! 👊🏻
Impressive
Cobra always seems to have the most interesting innovation, definitely getting the LTDx
You won’t be disappointed!! Get fit though, a driver that good really needs to be dialled in to max out performance.
Why do I think some comments have been deleted.
Good question, why do you think some have been deleted??
I want to try these but worry about durability. I've seen 2 Rad speeds where the carbon panels come off the top.
Michael should be doing most of everything since his swingspeed is much closer to avg golfers. It is much more beneficial. I use him as my benchmark. I bought the ltd x and my best was 148mph ball speed, 288 total pretty close to Mikey. Just started golfing again after 5 years, so hopefully I will catch Mikey by end of year.
Anyone know the reason why Matty left?
Please do a fitting with Mikey and then let’s see a compare against his current Sim2 again... If you look at the overlap in standard deviation for all values, these three drivers are performing equivalent and also the dispersion circles are pretty much the same. Due to the widespread use of launch monitors in testing companies finally had to admit that distance is the same year in year out... now their are selling their product on the much less quantifiable forgives theme... which is funny because MOI has a defined legal limit just like COR has... so again there is no opportunity for year to year gains... people just want to believe they actually buy a better product compared to last year. Buy a shiny new toy because it looks nice but don’t try to buy an advantage because it is not out there
They look great!
I’m excited for the bracket this year! Ping G425 Max just flew a little too high and spun a little too much, so the stability of these low spin heads are making it hard to pick!
Agreed but i can hit so far on the heel it would be considered shaft and find the fairway 😆
With a slight loss in clubbed weight, what is the likelihood of it being a good fit for the mysterious auto flex?
👀, if the people demand it it will happen!!
@@ianfrasergolf be trying it at your TO shop on Feb 12. could get costly haha. Hopefully you are around to say Hi !
Love these tests and LOVE to see performance of off-center strikes, because that's a better indication of how the club will perform for me 😉 A solid 10% more distance when Mike hit the sweet spot.
