Cobra S3 Driver Review

Tested: March 2011

Test Team:

Chris Ryan (Pro)

Jon Greathead (HCP 8)

Bryan Slater (HCP 12)

Darren Slater (HCP 16)

Verdict:

This driver certainly ticked the box in the looks department, but the guys struggled to get the same level of distance as some others on Test.

In fact, it was a distinct lack of distance that let this driver down, because it scored well in other categories, especially when it came to consistency.

Chris and Jon both liked the feel of it, while Bryan felt it was good for forgiveness.

As always, if you like the look of it, get yourself properly fitted for the best results.

Ratings:

Looks: 4

Feel: 3.8

Sound: 3.6

Forgiveness: 2.9

Distance: 2

Consistency: 5

Overall: 3.5 stars

Cobra’s new driver range for this year is packed full of technology, including the new E9 face technology, which replaces the previous 9-Point Technology. The new innovation means the sweetspot is 30 per cent bigger. Engineers looked at where golfers hit the ball off the face. The results showed that mis-hits were either low on the heel or high on the toe so these are the more forgiving areas
of the club. There is also an offset version of the driver in the form of the S3 Max – so if you’re struggling with the slice, get involved!
