TESTING COBRA’S 5.5-DEGREE LTDx LS LONG DRIVE HEAD // Ian Tries Out Kyle Berkshire’s Driver Head
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 вер 2024
- Today, Ian and Mikey take a look into the LTDx LS Long Drive Head.
The standard LTDx is one of TXG’s most popular heads this year and now, Ian has a chance to try the lower lofted 5.5-degree head.
The 5.5-degree head is the driver that is used by some of the fastest players on the planet. Kyle Berkshire, the 2x World Long Drive Champion, won his 7th Pro Long Drive win, using his COBRA LTDx LS driver.
Let’s see what happens when Ian gives a very low lofted head a gamble!

A valid reason to bring Drew Back. His speed is a good justification to use a club like this. If not pretty sure you lads can find a few chaps in comments who can also reach these speeds.
I was hoping they would bring someone in to give it an absolute smash.
what would be the point though? we know those extreme speed players will see those gains (and less broken heads), the real interesting test was the one they did in this video with a "regular" player.
Drew’s driver is 5* already
I think I’ve skipped the new intro since they changed the song, someone said it feels like a truck commercial and it really dows
i think guga foods or sous vide everything used that song as well
Glad I’m not the only one
I think it sounds a bit like the Top Gear intro for those based on the UK you’ll know what I mean.
@@seancook2264 I was gonna say top gear/grand tourish.
LITERALLY nobody cares
Gosh, I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but Matty would really have been the perfect candidate to get the best out of this bad Boi! Awesome video anyway! I was really tempted to pick up one of these for the fun factor.
They don’t make it left handed so unfortunately.
Tough review to do with the foresight low spin boost creeping in. You hit it really well.
Would be nice to see a guest appearance from Matty for these things
Wouldn’t matter lol 120 on quad is 115-116 on trackman you need 130+ on trackman stock 😂😂😂
Hi, This is a bit awkward. I live in England. But my Dad Lives in Canada. I arranged for him to visit your place in Toronto and get fitted. This was back in April. He was fitted with €3200 worth of xxio clubs. He was delight with the fitting service and I was happy to pay.
He has received most of the clubs. However as of Aug 16 he is still waiting for two of the clubs.
I have periodically emailed TXG. I am not getting any information.
I am still waiting for a response to the last email I sent.
I am resorting to commenting on you video as a last resort. I don’t know what arose to do.
Shocking lack of communication, expectation management, bordering on out and out rude.

The golf club supply worldwide is incredibly slow at the moment and it's well known to be the case. It's not uncommon to be waiting 6 or 7 months to get a set of irons, or custom driver due to certain shafts, grips and heads being out of stock worldwide. So I would just relax and wait if I was you, instead of deliberately trying to call them out in a youtube comment to embarrass them into some kind of public response. Especially when I'd be very confident that, other than replying to your email to say there's nothing they can do, that's there's nothing they can do and you'll just have to wait
@@aidangriffiths5075 I was told 6 weeks for these particular clubs. And it’s actually that nobody from TXG is responding to me or communicating in any way.
@@terrythomas4300 I've regularly gotten responses from Mac and Ian on Instagram DMs. Give one of the team a go on there
@@AmarHujan I received an email shortly after posting this.
Yeeees. More long drive stuff, please. A shaft breakdown of the Paderson velocity ld 30+ is way over due.
I think the intro is good for people who have never seen TXG but if you have seen every video like me you don’t care for it. Probably best for TXG to leave the intro in for new people to the channel.
Important! We need an intro with a Mikey cut away as well for when it's an Ian Mikey pairing. Love the content and especially all the growth and improvements lately 💪
I play long drive heads as my gamers. Can touch mid 140's on swing speed. Would be interesting to see more of these heads compared at the proper speeds. I did recently see cobra come out to the public with their head but boy are they proud of it! Wish it was a normal price.
There was only 8 heads available i wouldnt really call that available to the public
Hmm need to get out to the PLDA then bud. 0% chance those heads are what Kyle hits as picky as he is.
@@nickvorbeck2068 no time for PLDA. I did do the ALD last chance national qualifier last year and then made it to last day of the national championship. Qualified to go to worlds in Chicago but didn't have time to go that far. I would need to gain several mph to be competitive on the PLDA circuit and I run a business so I don't for see having the ability to do so.
Doing a video showing the different weight adjustments would be super helpful. I have the LTDx Max and would be interested to see how much of a difference each adjustment makes.
Ian. Your comment around the 2:15 mark about Retail clubhead a being tested at 125MPH swing speed are durable until about 3000 shots. Are you saying that for players swinging around the 125range that they should be replacing their driver every 3000 shots in order to avoid a performance decrease due to durability issues?
I am around that speed and hit a lot of balls what I have found is that performance actually gets better right before the head breaks (face cracks) because the face gets thinner which actually increases ball speed but when you crack a driver you can usually get a free replacement if it was just simply a product failure.
Awesome to see Ian swinging a cobra driver. I hated he didn’t try the rad speed in build a beast last year. Hopefully he ends up in a cobra soon. Also, where is mac lately?
According to his Instagram he's playing in the BMW pro-am this week.
Let’s bring out the auto flex with it
Just more positive reinforcement for my choice of the LTDx LS this season. I'm currently enjoying it at 8-degrees on draw bias. I find it launches just as high as my old 10.5, but it just penetrates so nice. I definitely wouldn't less than 8 degrees, though.
Although not identical, the intro sounds very similar to the one used on Padraig Harrington's channel. I prefer the former intro myself.
I like the new intro. Great vid boys.
Darn I was hoping Mikey was going to try it!!!
Why didn’t you try it with a lighter flex shaft? It seems like it would help get it up in the air.
Yes 240-225 cpm
cracked my 1yr old pxg driver the other day. was under the impression that these driver heads could take years worth of drives :{
Ian, why the efficiency of 9 and 4 degree head is the same (1.45) but at 5.5 degree head become 1.46. Isnt theoretically lower loft will increase the efficiency?
The only number that matters is the delivered loft so even though there’s a big difference in static loft it just depends how much I present at impact.
New TXG Intro:
“Last time on CSI - TXG”
This needs to be in Drews hand to give it a true test. The vast majority of golfer, myself included, such a driver head is not suited for us. Ian...do not go chasing, stay healthy and in control of you game....if you get my meaning bud!
Can anyone in the comments send me a link on how to buy this head? I’ve looked everywhere and don’t see it for sale.
Ian. Try the AutoFlex shaft in this Cobra
0:34 Former CEO and Owner once you sell a company, former not owner anymore, just an employee now
I wanted to buy one of these but I was waiting so long that I just bought the Callaway LD head. I would like to try the Cobra.
What would this do in the hand of a mid handicapper that his high launch high spin off the tee?
Gotta add Mikey to the new intro montage!
He won't be gaming with that one that's for sure lol.
I have X2HOT Pro 5.5 degrees LDA stamped head with 2X stiff 48 inch UST shaft and It was a nightmare tried to game with one once in a while I caught one like Ian and they went 310 320 but probably 2-3 times the effort required to make them work over my normal play driver and I hit my gamer just as long.
Awesome video boys!! How do I get hold of one of these heads??
When and where can I buy this??
I wished Matt back to Channel again 😔
Would be internet to see what Kyles numbers are compared to Ian’s with the same degree driver setting. 👍👍👍
Golfing? 12-14 launch 2200ish spin 208-212 ball speed
LD whatever the fuck he wants 1500 spin 230+ ball speed 6-8 aoa.
In person it looks like a 300 mph knuckleball flying toward the international space station
Didn't seem like you tee'd it up to high. Kyle usually has the ball tee'd up super high to really hit up on it with that low loft. That might give you the distance you were expecting from that head?
$800??? Yeah, a bit too much considering the main difference is loft.
I still think the 1700 rpm and the 17 degree launch angle could be the best, per The Kingdom
That intro :( what happened???
Drew would kills this club. We need him to hit it. ;)
Looks like when I tested epic flash sz with a hulk
Would love to see Drew smash that thing 400yd carry no problem I think lmao
I believe Kyle said he plays it with a regular flex shaft too.
Should have made the shaft 46 or longer if did not do for 5.5 driver
maybe ian can training, then go to try WLD competition xD
i really fuckin want one, but theyre hard to find !
I average around 175-180+ on course for ball speed. I find my 9.25° head and the way I hit up on the ball doesn’t allow me to maximize the potential of my speed. I can carry 325 sometimes and it might spin back a yard. Maybe a driver head like this could help me?
My dad hits the ball so freaking high he has to you long drive lofts he has a hole cobra at 4 degrees of loft I personally can get it off the ground but he still hits high ball flight it’s insane
Tee it down so he can't swing up as much?
He does he just hits up on it so much
@@GenXGolf24 jw does he use a wood or hybrid
$600 USD for a head… damn. I’d have this in the bag already for a couple hundred less
300 carry with 165 ball speed... sure...
I think speed and 180 ball speed is cool. But for every day normal people they are more likely going to get injured trying to get there.
There is not a big difference in scoring from 300 to 320. Jim Furyk shot 58 and 59 on PGA tour. Rory hits it 350 every hole and only wins 2 times a year. I say once you can hit it 300 yards just work on making putts.
Shit 300? These youtube golf channels make it seem like EVERYBODY hits it 300. I'm a 5 and i may hit one 300 yard drive (with roll) per 18 holes. I play for money with good players. Very few people are hitting 300 let alone carrying it 300.
@@greatwhite3676 yes well depends what course you play. Some courses I hit 300 every hole and some i never do.
@@JohnFishburne1 I guess thats true. But thats really what i mean. These launch monitor youtube channels are just all the same. Every single person carries it 300 on the monitor. Its simply not that easy on the course. Its also not as common as these channels make it seem.
I'd rather make 50 percent of my putts and hit it 250 and take my money from my friends. I hit it crooked 270 and I'm a bad putter. Not a good combo..lol
@@TheBradleyp63 me too. 250 plays on most courses pretty well.
Dont the long drivers use like a ladies flex?
If there's any interest in doing a true Longdrive test cally vs Cobra, I'd be willing to come give it a go. Get into the 220mph bs range and see what happens
❤️
Would love to see the long drive head with a ventus red at long drive shaft length. 🙃
Obviously, not the good hitter to test it…
This just isn't as fun without Matt. Really miss him.
Please get rid of the horrendous into smh
Honestly guys I've enjoyed the content in the past but 18 mins just to review one club?! I'd love to see this kind of content at 5 mins max. Give us the headline info, answer the relevant questions and show us the data. You'll find the number of completed views goes up and the revenue with it.
The CPM for the world long drive guys is 225-240 what were you swinging when you tested this because flex means absolutely nothing
how do you manage to get your hands on a 5.5 degree driver head? I'm sitting at 130 swing speed and am launching 200 foot high balloons with my 9 degree stealth
Shaved face 230-240 ct
Shaved face CT measurements are a lot higher than 230-240. OEM’s are achieving 245-250+ now. Shaves face CT allows the limit to be exceeded beyond 257 CT (the legal limit is 239, but the tolerance allowance means it can be up to 257 legally)
