How does the Darkspeed X differ from the Darkspeed LS and Max?

The X sits between them: lower spin than the Max, more forgiveness than the LS. The LS is for high-speed players chasing minimum spin; the Max is the most forgiving of the three.

What shaft flex does this version have?

This version is the stiff-flex stock graphite shaft, right-handed. If your driver swing speed is under about 90 mph, a regular flex will likely suit you better.

Can I adjust the weights myself?

Yes. The front and back weights are movable with the included wrench, so you can shift weight forward for lower spin or back for more stability.

Is the Darkspeed X worth it?

It is a strong value for a current-model low-spin driver. It is a good buy if you swing fast enough for a stiff shaft and want lower spin without going to a tour-style head.

Should I wait for the next Cobra driver instead?

New-model drivers usually drop further after the next Cobra release, so waiting can pay off if you are not in a hurry. The X still holds its own on spin and ball speed against newer heads.

About the Cobra Darkspeed X Driver

The Cobra Darkspeed X is a right-handed men's driver with a 460cc head, built for players who want low spin with a little more forgiveness than Cobra's low-spin LS model. It uses a forged titanium face and adjustable front and back weights to tune launch and spin. The stock shaft is a stiff-flex graphite. It sits between the Darkspeed LS and Max in Cobra's lineup: lower spin than the Max, more forgiving than the LS.
