Cobra Speedzone Hybrid Review – Is it Forgiving & Good for High Handicappers?

The Cobra Speedzone Hybrid, like many Cobra clubs, represents a very intriguing combination of game-improvement and player’s performance features.

Cobra Speedzone Hybrid Overview

The premium features of the Cobra Speedzone Hybrid start with the forged 455 grade stainless steel face.

This allows for an insane amount of flex and a really sweet feel overall. The premium features continue with a pair of hollow baffler rails. The baffler rails serve to smooth out turf interaction without adding any weight to the club overall.

Is the Cobra Speedzone Hybrid Forgiving?

Surprisingly, yes. As promised, the Cobra Speedzone Hybrid gives you premium features; but also features that increase it’s forgiveness factor.

The first thing that our testers noticed was the large footprint of this club. It may seem like a basic thing but trust us, it goes a long way toward increasing the forgiveness of this club. Our testers mentioned that the sweet spot was easy to nail and that in general, the Cobra Speedzone Hybrid was easy to swing.

Is the Cobra Speedzone Hybrid Good for Beginners & High Handicappers?

Again, we would have to say yes. Aside from the large head profile, the Cobra Speedzone Hybrid has weight positioned to be congenial for high handicappers.

The weight is positioned low and back in the club head. This does two very important things: it effectively lowers the center of gravity of the club which in turn makes it easier to get good launch angles.

Incidentally, our high handicap testers also noted that this same weight placement was responsible for helping them reaching more greens in regulation. The high launch makes it much easier to hold onto fast greens – even from 150+ yard approaches.

Should you Buy the Cobra Speedzone Hybrid or the Radspeed?

The Cobra Radspeed Hybrid emphasizes front-orientated weights in order to reduce ball spin and increase distance.

The Radspeed hybrid also features a rear weight much like the Cobra Speedzone Hybrid. However, from our testing, the Cobra Speedzone Hybrid was much easier to yield for beginners. The Radspeed hybrid is great in terms of distance; but only for players who can unlock it.

Unlocking it will entail having an above average swing speed. The Cobra Speedzone Hybrid is a club that might actually help you increase your swing speed and is the better buy for beginners.
