I used to have the F9 a few years ago but it never suited me very well, so I recently decided to give the RadSpeed a shot, and man was it a game changer, was able to get 260 yards with a straighter ball flight (with a RDX blue x flex shaft considering that my swing speeds didn't fit that particular shaft). Also decided to get the 3 wood with the same shaft and also yielded great results. Added a RadSpeed Draw 7 wood as my 4 iron replacement for bad lies and it works like a charm. Like he says, try it out first before you buy it (perhaps the new LTD line up might be a better fit for you).. Cobra has definitely brought its A game as of late.
just waiting for my Rad Speed with the Motor F3 to show up! Very timely video, thanks for the content! I also ordered the club head weight kit, so hoping I can dial in the unit to fit my swing "just right"
The fact that a number of the manufacturers are offering the Matore F3 & F1 shafts as stock is amazing - and I think that is the real RDX Blue shaft, which if true, is also unreal.
MiKe..picked up a new( ish ) Radpseed XB for £175 with the Hazardus Blue RDX Smoke …I am reasonable ball speed ..( 3 handicap) low launcher type of player ..do you reckon this will work for me …Cheers Lee
I have the RadSpeed standard with an x flex RDX Blue, I'm a mid handicap and my misses are generally to the right as a right hand player, but this driver was probably the most accurate out of all of them that I have tried, I generally have a club head speed of about 100 mph and the driver felt great
Depends on launch I swing about 100 and F1 worked better for me due to steep transition and high spin rates this brought me inline with normal spin rates all of it depends on spin launch etc I tried all 3 went with f1 go it used for 80 bucks with cobra adapter
Just put the RDX black in my TS2, picked up 8mph ball speed over the Tensei Blue that I got fitted into, I actually got fitted too soon after major heart surgery and my club speed is back up to 110mph now so it wasn’t the fitters fault the shaft just wasn’t a good fit anymore , at that speed I couldn’t square the face with the Tensei
I’ve just got this driver with the Evenflow riptide (not CB) 50g and it just helps me get the ball up in the air as that’s my struggle with the driver that combination of the rad speed with the riptide 6.0 50g is an absolute bomber for me averaging over 300 yards total about 285/290 Cary
Mike i dropped from from the hzrdus smoke in the ts3 to the tensei blue raw 55 in my new tsi3 and difference is chalk and cheese. The tensei is lighter and gives me more club speed and is also much more accurate with a tighter dispersion. It's a killer shaft for my game and feels lively unlike my old smoke which was stout and firm
I get too much launch using the Tensei Blue stiff in my SZ 10.5 so just had a Hzrdus Smoke Black 60g fitted and dropped the setting to 9.5D to get the launch lower, I have this in my TS3 3 wood and can't miss a fairway with it so hoping my SZ shows the same characteristics with the Hzrdus.
Please test the light/long shaft option as well. Plenty of buzz out there for the Autoflex shaft and some experts claim going longer, one flex lower, and lighter could simulate the properties of the Autoflex shaft.
Your timing is perfect! Unfortunately I only have 2 local pro shops with Cobra test kits and they only have 2 of the heads and 2 of the shafts (not multiple weights or stiffness). Thanks for this
Question for you. I will be testing different shafts for the Cobra RadSpeed driver. When I do the testing, should I have the heavier weight in the back or the front or both?
Great vid! I just put the rad speed 3 wood in the bag. Shaft is the motore f3. Snow has fallen so haven’t been able to hit it outside yet. Can’t wait though

I've found quite a few shafts that are labelled lower launching to actually launch higher but reduce spin at the same time ...interesting!
This is probably the most user friendly review since you are using the stock shaft available.
Don't have club fitting in my neck of the woods or a way to try all 3 shafts. What would be the default one?
Impressive that Cobra includes the Motore X shafts as stock offerings, these are £220 aftermarket shafts.
I got the motore feels so good
Its still a $600 driver... for like $20 in materials and $580 r and d
you only reviewed 3 out of the 4. The one I wanted to see data for, Riptide CB, you did not test. Why?
Thanks for the video Michael.
Would you recommend the standard version for a higher handicap in the tour length shaft? Obviously lofted up with the heavy weight moved to the back.
Good question.

Cobra doesn't do made for shafts anymore. Also, project x says they dont do made for shafts so anyone offering the hzrdus this year are real deal.
@@Bleda2002 Fujikura make OEM shafts which I would guess the MotorX are.
Well dang i wanted see what that evenflow would do heart broke beforw even got goin

Would you say that a swing speed of around 100mph would suit the f3 better
i have a similar swing speed and I felt the best with the RDX (but I felt the best with an x flex for some reason)

the rdx say low spin low launch on ther website but cobra says low/mid

hi, would you know if the radspeed hosel adapter is the same as the speedzone?
Yep is the same
That Fujikura Motore X F1 works well for you! Could the Cobra be going in the bag?
Could you add an upgraded shaft to this test? How much difference would there be for you?
I dont get the point if counter balance shafts... if i wanted a lower swing weight i would buy lady flex
Please test the light/long shaft option as well. Plenty of buzz out there for the Autoflex shaft and some experts claim going longer, one flex lower, and lighter could simulate the properties of the Autoflex shaft.
Deciding on a head/shaft combo for the Radspeed...perfect video!
I would have liked to have a Fujikura Atmos shaft option to match the the previous models fairway woods.

Are you able to tell if these are the "Real deal " or "Made for" shafts?
They are the "Real Deal" full spec shafts 👍
Mike very interesting video could you hit the even flow shaft would be interested in seeing it👍🏌🏾♂️
Is it normal to have the same smash factor with the Cobra 7 iron and the driver ??
Great topic 👏
This is why we love the channel. Broad spectrum of tests and very human realistic testing effort with excellent explanations.
quality as always...Good video
I use the Mitsubishi Tengei CK Blue in my F9 driver and 3 wood and love them
I really enjoy these videos on the shaft differences. Do you plan to do a Callaway Epic Speed one?!
👍👍👍
Great vid! I just put the rad speed 3 wood in the bag. Shaft is the motore f3. Snow has fallen so haven’t been able to hit it outside yet. Can’t wait though
Some really good stock shaft options.
Great shaft options, a pity TM Sim 2 has poor shaft offerings. Then again its about making money from us mere mortals.
Great video as always, please test the new tour edge C721 !!
Waiting for them to arrive 👍
You say too much too fast. Cut all the obvious, stop the constant blurting, and speak normal.
Having a bad day?
Eh, or maybe you should learn to understand English.....I mean REAL English mate lol
