Cobra Radspeed Vs Cobra LTDx Hybrid Comparison Overview

Cobra Radspeed Vs Cobra LTDx Hybrid

One thing you can pretty much bank on when it comes to Cobra golf clubs is low spin.

Many of their clubs emphasize front-orientated weighting which in most cases, keeps spin very low.

The idea is that spin creates drag in the air – and on long approaches that’s not what you want because drag means less hang time.

Less hang time means less overall distance. Low-spin is a common trait among Cobra clubs including the Cobra LTDx hybrids and the Radspeed hybrids.

But to really understand which one would be better for your game, you have to dig deeper. So let’s take a closer look at these clubs.

Cobra Radspeed Hybrids Overview

Cobra Radspeed1

“The Cobra Radspeed hybrids feature 119cc heads and are available from 2H to 5H.”

In the Radspeed hybrid, there are two 6 gram weights positioned in the front of the head and a 7 gram weight positioned in the back – achieving the fabled low spin that is the hallmark of Cobra golf clubs.

The Radspeed hybrids also feature a forged face insert that feels amazing and produces a very satisfying sound on impact.

Overall, the Radspeed hybrids felt light and manageable in the hands. The baffler rails on the sole have been hollowed out to save on weight and to improve turf interaction.

The launch was very high and it performed well from the rough as well.

Cobra LTDx Hybrid Overview

“The Cobra LTDx hybrids also feature 119cc heads but are available from 2H to 6H.”

So you get the option of scoring a 28 degree replacement for your 6-iron. In any case, the Cobra LTDx hybrids actually don’t play as long as the Cobra radspeed irons; but we were getting better apex height from them.

They also offer excellent forgiveness on low-face shots thanks to the face cup design that wraps into the sole of the head.

The face has also been tuned in other areas to promote forgiveness in areas where players are likely to mis-hit.

Overall, the Cobra LTDx hybrids were more forgiving than the radspeed hybrids – even if you do give up some yardage.

“After testing both of these hybrids, it was clear that the Cobra LTDx’s were the more forgiving clubs. They would be a great asset to any mid to high handicapper.

The Radspeed hybrids are better for low handicappers seeking better distance from their hybrids.”

You can feel the technology on every hit, the club just slides through the turf. The ball speed is incredible.

“The Cobra LTDx hybrid plays great from pretty much any lie and from the tee. Good distance and forgiveness.”

Cobra Radspeed Hybrid First Impressions

At address position, we love the way the hybrid sits on the ground, the paint lines and face line up fantastically giving you confidence when standing over the ball.

We loved the way the hybrid interacted with the turf, on every shot it felt like the club went through the ground with ease. This is due to the hollow rails in the Radspeed. It creates up to 70% more flex on the sole of the club creating a higher launch and more speed.

You could feel the front-biased radial weighting working, as the forgiveness was incredible.

The feeling off the face was something we have never felt. The forged face really does work, and makes every shot feel fantastic.

The Cobra Radspeed also comes in a one length option. The Cobra one length range is very interesting, led by Bryson DeChambeau on the PGA Tour who plays with one length clubs.

The one length concept is great, but you have to have the swing to match it. Your swing has to be on one plane, if it is not, your longer and shorter irons will become impossible to hit.

All the same technology you find in the standard Cobra Radspeed Hybrids are also in the One length versions.

“The Cobra LTDx was actually a bit refreshing because it was pretty straightforward and doesn’t take very much time to get used to.”

We’ve tested a lot of modern hybrids with tunable weight ports and adjustable head weights. And while all that stuff is really nice to have, it’s nice to just get on the course and start swinging and learning your club.

The Cobra LTDx hybrid lacks a lot of periphery features like adjustable loft and sliding weights; but it’s a very easy club to get the hang of – even if you have never used a hybrid club before.

One thing we will say though is that the Cobra LTDx hybrids start to show their weaknesses on short approaches. You don’t get great apex height and there isn’t enough spin to help you stick the green.

For most beginners and high handicappers though, that shouldn’t be too much of a problem as your main concern in your early stages with the game will be simply to reach the pin.

The Cobra LTDx hybrid is a club that will definitely help you achieve that. One of the best things about it is that it gives you really good distance from tough lies thanks to the baffler rails that help smooth out turf interaction.

Who is the Cobra LTDx Hybrid for?

Cobra LTDx Hybrid3

“Even as a high handicapper, it’s not inconceivable to start getting distances of 160 yards with the 4 hybrid in the Cobra LTDx set.”

The Cobra LTDx hybrid would be best for anyone looking for a viable replacement to their long irons.

We wouldn’t recommend anyone opting for the 6 hybrid in this set as you will lose a ton of control and most likely end up sailing the ball past the green.

But as pure distance and forgiveness clubs, the Cobra LTDx hybrids are excellent.

The Cobra LTDx hybrids would be perfect for anyone looking for good forgiveness as well.

It’s very hard to wield your long iron effectively as a beginner so to flatten out the learning curve by a significant margin, the Cobra LTDx hybrids would be a great choice.

These clubs are obviously not for pros and low handicappers; but they will certainly do a lot to build the confidence of high handicappers and to make them look like better players than they actually are.

The Cobra LTDx isn’t the only forgiving hybrid club that Cobra produces.

You can also check out the Cobra T-Rail Hybrid. The T-Rail features the same AI-designed variable face thickness but in a lighter and more affordable package.

This is another great option for high handicappers and beginners; but it does suffer from the same lack of accuracy from short distances that the Cobra LTDx hybrid does.

If however, you are a mid to low handicapper and you are looking to attack more long par 5’s, you may want to check out the Cobra Radspeed hybrid.

The Radspeed hybrid puts a large emphasis on radial weighting. In fact, there are 12 grams of weight (divided into two 6 gram weights) up front and a 7 gram weight in the back.

The result is a hybrid that practically kills all spin on contact.

Again, you will want to keep a good scoring iron in your bag if you use the Cobra Radspeed hybrid; but it is a great choice for anyone who craves better distance – especially from tough lies.
