The latest driver release from Cobra has been designed to deliver the highest clubhead and ball speeds possible, we put it to the test. golfliberty.com SUBSCRIBE: / @golfliberty
Only a few years ago you were in awe of Cameron Champ's speed and now you're right within a mile or two of his clubhead speed and ball speed. Honestly, I wished I have that kind of gain you have, I still stuck in high 110s with playing driver.
Amazing stuff. Would love to see a lesson video on how you got your clubhead speed to 130mph. It was amazing to see you hit 340 yard drives a couple years ago and now you're hitting 370 yards. Fantastic!!!!
Big hi from Germany. Have been subscribed since you first started your channel and absolutely love what you are doing here. Your approach to reviewing product is completely fresh and distinct from every other channel. The "office" setup looks great and the idea to simply sit and talk to us about your view of the product is genius. Your "straight talk" matches your straight drives.... 🙂... Thank you for keeping it real. Its noted by the community and appreciated.
Never heard of the channel, seen the channel, had the channel suggested to me (I’m surprised TH-cam, your algorithm failed) but at 00:16 you earned my sub. I thought I knew that voice, and seeing your face back on TH-cam makes me very happy. Now, I deep dive to catch up on all I’ve missed. Happy to see you again Matty Boi
adding club head speed didn’t negatively impact dispersion in the same way previous models have. love the 3 way weight port flexibility with the LS head, can’t wait until the video to find your gamer this year bc I think my money is on DARKSPEED.
went back and watched the video where Ian builds you a Long Driver. In the video you said you dont ever see yourself breaking 190 and look at you now! proud of you 👑
Great job, Matt. Your reviews are the most helpful that I've found on TH-cam and I can add nothing to the praise that your other followers have already provided.
This is just an insane amount of clubhead, ballhead speed matt. You are a beast my friend, its a joy to watch you especially hammering a driver with that speed and control. This driver is spectacular and made for you. P.s i love the channel by the way.
You know I don’t see anyone else on here this year cranking out this kind of distance and performance. This is a joy to see as in the old days when you were on the other Canada-based website cranking stuff over 340. This performance is unbelievable, and although I’m not a fan of everything being black I guess some custom artwork by professionals can be done like the pros do to make at least the cobra logo at the top visible and a few other decorations possibly. But what awesome performance! I just came across your channel and found you again this is going to be great… Thank you for having a channel.
Really like the look of the new Darkspeed LS. Looks very stealthy 😂. Time to pair it with the AutoFlex and get 200 ball speed and 350-360 carry. Let’s go!
That was a really good, simple but thorough review Matt. And I love watching you obliterate balls at speeds I don't reach even in my wildest dreams 😲. And those are some sexy looking drivers. I'm glad one manufacturer listened to what everyone has been saying - "give us a simple, matt black finish on a driver". 👏 thanks Cobra.
The thing I need in any reviews is consistency, I need to know if one out performs another. I've been watching you for years, your a machine. I'm not you but that's not important if you hit the Ping G430 and it goes a certain distance consistently and in a different test you hit the Cobra Darkspeed, I can compare results. that's important to me when I'm looking for a club to test. Thanks
I'm really digging your channel Matt! You are hitting some big boy drives! Sidenote, I liked the music in your qi10 video when you hit 190. I think it added to the production.
I hope, for Cobras sake, Darkspeed does well. Aerojet was a sales stinker, although actually a decent driver - deserved to be in a few more players hands. Agree on LS head shape - was immediately obvious, first time I picked it up, how different it was.
Awesome review Matt. When the F9 came out I bought it and loved it but it wasn’t very forgiving. This is a whole new beast. After getting custom fit last year for TSR3 I just can’t take a leap on a new driver. Nevertheless an awesome looking driver, if I was in the market for a new one, this would definitely be high on the list.
I have been playing the matte black version of Cobra Speedzone. I was sold on your testing with TXG. Such a good looking driver IMO but too spinny. Dark Speed may be in my future! Looks so awesome
Matt, some of us might enjoy watching you resume playing right handed. I personally had to switch hands due to injuries so the videos were especially useful. Thank you
Wonderful video. Obviously I won't be able to afford these new driver prices, but I can look forward to this driver in a couple of years when I see it as a second-hand purchase.
Matt, I've been following you since day one (prior channel) and have seen a vast change in your left to right flight. Is that a result of your swing path or perhaps strike/equipment advancements? Either way, you're killing the ball speed numbers with what appears to be little effort. Really enjoying your take on the products and your teaching content. All my best for 2024 and beyond!
I have watched all the reviews today and I simply do not understand how PF finds this same driver as less than competition. Great review on both heads, love their product, so a bit of a fanboy. It simply works as well or better than all the other brands.
Dang I want that extra weight available in the front in the X version. I just nought a demo Aerojet and that weight in the back really puts the ball in the air a tad much for me. Was going to buy a lighter weight in the back then some lead tape bottom front to bring spin down. That driver looks awesome and that weight structure option is music to my eyes! :)
Finally a 2024 driver I’d put in the bag immediately because of its look. I wanna get in 8 degrees and turn down to 6.5 an Accra FX 3.0 140. 😈😈😈. Cobra should do a lefty 8 degree head.
This may be the one to replace my tsr 3 . After watching your reviews on the all the new drivers the Cobra seems to come out on top. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on sound and feel on the Cobra. I used to play the ltdx and the performance of the Aerojet was really good but I didn't care for the feel of the Aerojet.
I saw 1.48, 1.49 and 1.50 on my foresight this morning. Saying 1.45, 1.46 is the max is a fallacy. One dot in the center of the face will give you your correct club speed. Having dots near the toe will artificially raise your club speed, and therefore lowering your smash factor. If you have the dot near the heel, it’ll show a slower swing speed and show a smash factor OVER 1.5 on efficient hits. It is a typical set up for face impact readings that you have three dots on the toe, so it’s likely that your swing speed is slower that what foresight is reading and you’re closer to a 1.5 efficiency. Try the one dot set up and see what your true swing speed and efficiency are.
Matt, your swing is looking so good. I'd be curious to see how a club like that LS (which manages spin so well) does for you with maybe another degree of loft. Your longest drives all seem to be when the launch is up around 11* or so. Or maybe the next height of tee? Keep it up!
Hey Mat, Im always a fan of the work you put out. Are you actively trying to lower the flight? Id be curious to see what a 13-14 degree launch would look like with those numbers.
quality as usual. The only downside I have with cobra drivers is they keep releasing limited versions of the same head throughout the year. The all gold version, usa version, etc. I buy one and instantly i am like..... oh man, that one looks pretty kewl. #buyersremorse
Was out on the range hitting balls a couple weeks ago fowler was hitting balls beside me. he had about 10 of these heads laying on the range. He was hitting them pretty solid
Love the purity of the content Matt! just a slight quality of life enhancement I think that would help viewing, the background sound can be a tad distracting. Maybe some slight instrumental, or have your editor/yourself (idk what you do from an editing perspective) Quiet, breathing/echo. Keep up the good work!
Looks like that ventus red is treating you well when you wanna hit bombs. Coming up to Toronto for a week. Gonna book a session for my uncle and I. Thanks for showing us all these products!
hi matt. loving the videos. I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but there seems to be a good bit of echo coming from the concrete room, which personally I find a little distracting.
The only driver reviews I trust. Your expertise is second to none. Fantastic review again Matt 👍
Love his channel!!!
Second to Ian Fraser 😂😂
Getting the patented Matty "Yesss" makes my day every time. Golf Liberty is my first stop for new club introductions.
You're putting out quality content Matt. Glad to see your channel off to a good start. The LS looks like a weapon in your capable hands.
Only a few years ago you were in awe of Cameron Champ's speed and now you're right within a mile or two of his clubhead speed and ball speed.

This is becoming my favorite channel for gear reviews. I like your calm style and critical thinking. Great to see you doing well Matt!
The only reason I used to watch TXG’s channel was for Matt’s club reviews. So happy I found this channel.
Never heard of the channel, seen the channel, had the channel suggested to me (I’m surprised TH-cam, your algorithm failed) but at 00:16 you earned my sub. I thought I knew that voice, and seeing your face back on TH-cam makes me very happy. Now, I deep dive to catch up on all I’ve missed.

Matt your taking the new driver reviews to another level. Well done and each video adds another driver that i want to test in Feb
Dude you have picked up a lot of speed. It’s really impressive!
Great job, Matt. Your reviews are the most helpful that I've found on TH-cam and I can add nothing to the praise that your other followers have already provided.

You’re killing it Matt. Congratulations my man. Can’t wait to see all the comparison videos.
Ever since I started playing Cobra, have never looked back. What an amazing review and always look forward to your tutelage!!

I love this channel. I swing fast and it’s great to see information and test from someone that can swing these speeds.
This and the Smoke are the two I'm looking fwd to this year. Will be interesting to see how they stack up to G430 and TSR.
Best review yet of the DarkSpeed!
Of all the releases so far in 2024, this one has me the most excited. Might need to pay you a visit this winter. I'll bring Michter's 10 as well.
That was a really good, simple but thorough review Matt. And I love watching you obliterate balls at speeds I don't reach even in my wildest dreams 😲. And those are some sexy looking drivers.

Looks so sharp, seems to have the performance too. Definitely checking it out this year.
Amazing swing! And, great drivers. I think the last videos I watched you hitting 370 in total yards was the Autoshaft.
I'm really digging your channel Matt! You are hitting some big boy drives! Sidenote, I liked the music in your qi10 video when you hit 190. I think it added to the production.
Bloody hell I was wondering where on earth you were Matty. Just made my day finding your channel!!
I got the same results at my fitting the 10.5 LS won by a long shot only 290 carry though for me lol, your swing looks great
This is the driver that I am most excited to try out this spring.
Monster Drives Matt! Great video review! 💪🏾🐍🏌🏻

Yo Matt you look like you're swinging super free and powerful. Good stuff man. Glad you made your own channel.
Wonderful video. Obviously I won't be able to afford these new driver prices, but I can look forward to this driver in a couple of years when I see it as a second-hand purchase.
Loving these reviews Matt - informative but simplistic all at once for us golf nuts. This Cobra DS LS might just bump my TSR out of the bag…!
First video I clicked on, always quality with great info and an awesome swing.
Top of the list for the Golftown Demo sale that's for sure! Great content Matt!!!
Stellar content (especially the production quality), but can we just acknowledge 2 drives over 370 on a flat range? Goodness, Gracious.
Looks super clean
Awesome work with the new drivers

equipment is getting a touch better every year, but my swing has improved a lot

Don't stop vlogging, your content is 🤘🏽🔥
Can you please do a WITB and explain your yardages? Bro, you were absolutely ripping the LS!!!
Still rocking my radspeed. No interest in upgrading anytime soon. Maybe in like 5 or so years, but always love what Cobra is doing
tested all big boys driver but this one is the best. it really comes in package.. beautiful, straight and far.. LS is my choice..
340 carry? You have buttery speed my man. You don't appear to be jumping out of your shoes to produce that. I'd kill to have your swing.
Speed of this Driver is very impressive The look of the Darkspeed is also quite impressive 🔥👍
Dang I want that extra weight available in the front in the X version. I just nought a demo Aerojet and that weight in the back really puts the ball in the air a tad much for me. Was going to buy a lighter weight in the back then some lead tape bottom front to bring spin down. That driver looks awesome and that weight structure option is music to my eyes! :)
It’s been a while since I have watched you hit the driver, wow dude your swing is good right now. Very impressive!
So impressed with the video content and where your game is matt. better than most!
This is an insanely handsome club, looks SO similar to my RadSpeed Big Tour 3 Wood!
Great video and my lord….not only did the speeds stay off the charts you didn’t hit any of them offline. Unreal
as a fellow lefty i feel your pain. the golf industry just doesnt show enough love lol
Looks very good. Very impressive speeds for sure.
Serious speed there Matt. Interesting observation re the 8deg head being slightly diff again. Will have to keep an eye out for it
Your latest content is amazing. Excellent job, good sir.
Wow, that is one of the best looking drivers I have ever seen.
Finally a 2024 driver I’d put in the bag immediately because of its look.
I wanna get in 8 degrees and turn down to 6.5 an Accra FX 3.0 140. 😈😈😈.
Cobra should do a lefty 8 degree head.
I’ve just put together an Epic 9°SZ with that shaft and a Tour adapter so I can go 7°.
Dying to try it out but 🥶 in Alberta
@@seanpeacock5595 cobra makes 2 degree sleeve like TM? I want one!
I've said this before when you were with Ian, you could tie a tomato can to a broomstick and still hit the ball 300 yards right down the middle.
Found you, 😂 had been wondering where you had gone!
Might have to give all these new drivers a whirl... Great video!
This may be the one to replace my tsr 3 . After watching your reviews on the all the new drivers the Cobra seems to come out on top. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on sound and feel on the Cobra. I used to play the ltdx and the performance of the Aerojet was really good but I didn't care for the feel of the Aerojet.
similar feel/sound, maybe a bit more muted this time
Good stuff Matt. Would like to see how drivers spin draw vs fade.
Great video. Love the all out bombs. Try for 195 with autoflex !
I saw 1.48, 1.49 and 1.50 on my foresight this morning.
Saying 1.45, 1.46 is the max is a fallacy.
One dot in the center of the face will give you your correct club speed. Having dots near the toe will artificially raise your club speed, and therefore lowering your smash factor. If you have the dot near the heel, it’ll show a slower swing speed and show a smash factor OVER 1.5 on efficient hits.
It is a typical set up for face impact readings that you have three dots on the toe, so it’s likely that your swing speed is slower that what foresight is reading and you’re closer to a 1.5 efficiency.
Try the one dot set up and see what your true swing speed and efficiency are.
Yes I’m aware of that, but I need all the dots so I can see the strike and other metrics.
BOOM. HNY Matt!
344 carry today...Just stop it😅. Great vid.
Matt, your swing is looking so good. I'd be curious to see how a club like that LS (which manages spin so well) does for you with maybe another degree of loft. Your longest drives all seem to be when the launch is up around 11* or so. Or maybe the next height of tee? Keep it up!
blazing fast
Can you get a 95mph Golfer to try it please 🙏 thanks
Wow. Bunch of 190 and 190+! 😮😮😮
Jeeze hitting drives over 350+ 😂 and those 370 shots were insane
Hey Mat, Im always a fan of the work you put out. Are you actively trying to lower the flight? Id be curious to see what a 13-14 degree launch would look like with those numbers.
As I've been working on my swing I've been getting a little bit less inside out and upwards so my launch angle has come down a bit.
@@GolfLiberty Cam Champ did something similar. He knocked down the ball flight and kept the speed at 190
I do like the new look of the Cobra.
quality as usual. The only downside I have with cobra drivers is they keep releasing limited versions of the same head throughout the year. The all gold version, usa version, etc. I buy one and instantly i am like..... oh man, that one looks pretty kewl. #buyersremorse
You got 190 bs out of the Qi10 LS....can you do that with the DS?....YES!
Love the look this some great numbers. Looking forward to head to heads this year. How do the tsr3 numbers stack up against it I wonder.
Great job Matt! Glad to see the channel up and running so well! Enjoying the videos. Are you going to do the PXG Black Ops?
yes absolutely
Real solid content Matt
Holy... that speed is cracked
Thanks Matt!
Matty this is awesome!
Wow, Mr. Blois!
Wow! Love it!
hi Matt, would be interesting to share the numbers on the Darkspeed X weigh in front vs LS weight behind
Sad to hear we won't get to see you smash the 8 degree head. Insane drives with the 9 though.
Was out on the range hitting balls a couple weeks ago fowler was hitting balls beside me. he had about 10 of these heads laying on the range. He was hitting them pretty solid
Jupiter?
@@MaczSoftware palm city but yea real close. G wood Fowler luke list several others. We all played a 3 day tournament. Cobra truck was there with Rick
Your content quality is blowing away the competition. Keep up the good work bud. I'd rather watch you than Rick Shiels
Love the purity of the content Matt! just a slight quality of life enhancement I think that would help viewing, the background sound can be a tad distracting. Maybe some slight instrumental, or have your editor/yourself (idk what you do from an editing perspective) Quiet, breathing/echo. Keep up the good work!
Hoping for a test of the new Callaway ball
Bag this Matt!
11:45 dang it! I was hoping to see the 8° head!
Geez, Matty!
Looks like that ventus red is treating you well when you wanna hit bombs. Coming up to Toronto for a week. Gonna book a session for my uncle and I. Thanks for showing us all these products!
hi matt. loving the videos. I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but there seems to be a good bit of echo coming from the concrete room, which personally I find a little distracting.
Yup, something I'll need to work on as we renovate the space.
