Cobra Speedzone Driver Initial Test + Ping G410LST Comparison 

I love the way Ian frames what Speedzone is looking to do. Most RU-vid reviewers just don't get it the way you guys do. I wish I was in shorts right now! 😂

That an impressive start for the Cobra, matching Matty's current driver that the two of you have gone through mutiple shaft fittings on. Be curious to see what happens when you're able to dial in the correct shaft on the Cobra.

Great stuff, gents. I’ve just moved over from TM M5 to PING G410 so great to see that the G410’s still the one to beat. 👍🏻

Yet again you Guys prove that you are the Gold standard when it comes to equipment testing and making sense of the numbers! One of the irritations with the initial driver testing was that other testers didn't get that this year's drivers were all about stability on off-centre hits. They would spend 10 minutes explaining the technology, hit 10 Balls and say "It isn't any quicker, longer than last years model.

Thanks guys I don’t know how I missed this one but glad to see it late than never. Cheers

Great comparison! Still the best on RU-vid!

Made the change from the M4 to the G410, looks like I made the right choice! Keep the videos coming guys! Great content

Safe to say the G410 is as good as anything?

Well said guys! Others keep talking about center strike has already reached maximum allowable under rules of golf yet concentrate their reviews on that one perfect strike in the middle. Love how you framed the overall improvement of the driver! Looking forward to SZ Xtreme review.

Hi guys, nobody gives the info you do. Thanks for another great video. I wish i still lived in Toronto I'd be at your shop in a heartbeat.

Love your work guys... exciting couple of months ahead.. I’m trialling the SZ tomorrow.. trialled the Ping 410 over the weekend ... I think I’ll be buying one of those two..

Gotta love The Golden Bear Club. Welcome back to Florida gents!

Great video! This goes a long way to proving that the New Cobra driver is now a mature product that can compete with anything out there! That’s great to see. The more outstanding products we have to choose from the better! From my point of view we know now that we have 3 great drivers on the market. Ping, Cobra, Titleist. Whether or not Callaway, TailorMade, and Mizuno join the party this year is yet to be seen. Though I suspect all 3 will. What a year for drivers!

Killer video. I love my G410, but it's great to see another driver with that level of strike forgiveness.

Continue to be impressed with Cobra, also really cool to hear your insight as to the changes in the 2020 model. I may have been premature in judgement after seeing other reviews but starting to understand the tech differences and benefits of the newer products. I'm on waitlist to hopefully get fitted with you in June, looking forward to getting my new driver done right!

-16 deg driving into work this morning.. you boys enjoy Florida for as long as you can

I haven't hit the Ping G410LST but I previously had the F9. It was a very good driver. Anyways, I hit my diver so much that I cracked it while hitting it in very cold temperatures. Long story short, I sent it to Cobra for replacement. They had to give me a new one. I got the bright idea to sale the F9 and upgrade to the Speedzone. Let me tell you, the Speedzone is a CLEAR upgrade over the F9. The consistency of flight, the forgiveness, the stability. It comes out with a lower flying, lower spinning, tighter dispersed ball pattern. If you can afford it, opt for the Speedzone. If not, the F9 is a great option. My buddy got a steal of a deal on it. And of course there is no going wrong with Ping!

That’s just a great video boys. What a way to start off the week. Really good stuff.

Great way to start the week off, indeed. More comparisons from the other guys (not just SIM and MAVRIK), please.

Kudos to Cobra again.... incredible numbers and still cheaper than the Big Boy's. Loved the F9 can't wait to test the SZ

Way to go boys ! Enjoyed this video. Let’s see which driver is going to outperform the G410+ (LST in this case) !

Very interesting analysis - i may be looking at switching out my TS2 and the Cobra intrigues me

Cobra looks fantastic ! ...hope you dudes are doing a golf vlog this year?

I am looking forward to some great videos coming.

And this is why I’m still not replacing my G400 this year. Dollar to yards gained ratio just isn’t there for me.

Thanks Ian for stating the driver improvement is not about the center strike... all drivers put out relative same numbers from the center... I was going to get the ping but now I am waiting with all these OEM’s seeming to copy ping without the turbolators 😂

When Sergio switched from Callaway he went to Ping and the Ping driver(I'll assume it was the G410), this week in Saudi he's using a TM SIM, we'll see what he's using next week.

Great video guys, looking at the stats, I’d be more interested in a driver that is hit high and on the toe, but says “cool man, I got this” that’s why I love my g400 lst

Another great review Enjoy the weather as i use my 9 iron to dig out of snow. LOL

I love how you talk about performance. That 46" driver that you crushed 305 ONCE at a demo day is NOT going to be your most consistent. I promise. Hit the fairway. You need to take an extra club from the rough anyway.

Any chance we’ll be getting a course vlog while you guys are down there? Would love to see it

...this has to be such a big week for you guys, immerse yourself a in the new toys and warm weather.

Fun but conclusive test .. thanks guys .. I really think the xtreme is the one for me .. please compare to ping 410 plus .. 😉🏌️⛳️🍻

Jealous guys! It was low 40*s playing golf today. Really tested the stiff back lol Awesome initial review 👍

The G410 is one of the best drivers EVER made. Forgiveness AND performance. There are drivers that are faster (ball speed), but extremely marginal. I'd rather be in the fairway 2-3 yards shorter than a faster ball speed driver.

Hope to see a review of the new Mevo+ when it's available!

..."Ping, THE GOLD Standard", such a great product. What are they introducing for the 2020 line?

Amazing how close the numbers are between them when you have a robot hitting the balls.

Great videos to start off the week! Based on the comments about Stability of SZ over F9... can we expect a video comparing off center hits? I have the F9 and definitely see a drop off on Toe impact... like to see if SZ fixes this. Seems like you mention it here but would be great to see head to head comparisons.

My dad got the g410+ to replace his m3 I'm hoping it'll give him more consistency over m3 since he doesn't have a high swing speed... But I took his m3 and with my 117mph swing omg it's a BEAST

What shaft is Cobra offering with the new SZ Drivers? The Fujikura Atmos blue tour spec + F9 was/is a wonderful partnership from last season! Hopefully more of the same pairings this season. Price was good too!

So true!

Impressive Ping

Since game improvement and super game improvement clubs are the biggest selling sector of the market, should you not be testing these irons with a lower swing speed player, or Matt dialing it down? And once again, I will beat the drum for Wilson being added to your matrix

Matt's worst shot looks better with SZ than the gamer, going to be interesting to see if he switches when you get back in the studio and have a chance to build it up for him.

Since most of these drivers are close in distance now, we need to take into affect the Yards Offline stat for some kinda NET distance equation with maybe a penalty for more than 12 ? yards left or right of center, cause if one is chipping out from the trees, that 300 yrd drive didn't help you much.

How does this compare to cobra speed zone in terms of forgiveness and turf interaction

Ian, when you guys are doing these comparison tests or any driver tests, do you "not" consider "OFFLINE YDS". Unless the quad4 is misreading in this test on the range I'd say Matt is in the rough 70% or more of the time on this test, 29R,26R,32R, 33R,38L,25L,18L,22R,44R,15R, 28L etc etc, average fairway is only 30yds wide. I think you'd better find a straighter driver head, lol.

Curious, you didn't test with the same shaft in both clubs. Not apples to apples. So I assume, the Cobra was not built for Matt as far as swt and frequency? Pretty good testament to Cobra to perform as good as Ping without the same gamer shaft and specs.

How were the speedzones weights set up for this? Heavy forward? Sorry if I missed that in the video

And now please in comparison with the new TM an Callaway.

Where is the Scot? Ahh, the chap in the shorts in January. 👍

So maybe worth the upgrade over my F8+!!

Has Matt’s speed gone down? I noticed he’s not as fast as a few months ago?

Now you making me regret buying the F9.... :-(

Cobra 🐐💪👍🙂

What shaft was in the Speed Zone? Were you hitting range balls?

Everyone else one club a year = Ping builds a club when the can build something better

Why is Matt's ball speed so low compared to the studio?

Do a fitting with the cobra then compare the two

Mikey stop hiding, what the hell I want to see the X-ray of the carry on and luggage you took to Orlando. I wonder if Meghan knows Canada already has a Princess? Luckiest lefty in golf that Matty boy for sure! #txgmobiletoystore 👍 Thanks for video appreciate the midnight oil!

Still ping on top.

Ffs guys you’re making me so jealous it’s like 5 degrees here 🤣

Now do it with a 16 handicap

Ian, "Cobra has not tried to increase the benefits of the middle of this driver." Nor has any of the manufacturers. They've reached the limits. Please fellas, I love your content, but acknowledge that he clubs have reached their max on centre hits and that the goals today are to max out the mishits we all endure. That said, those adjustments to off centre hits are so minimally differentiated, we've hit the limits. What are you looking for, a better heel strike on average, toe??? Come on, it's a a mugs game at this time. The heads do what they are allowed to do, the shaft will allow us to maximize.

69g.....nice. 😅

they are virtualy the same , but cobra much better sounding!
