It’s hard to believe, but May is already here, which marks the approach of the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club, the second major of the year. This time of year also signifies the unofficial start of summer, with Memorial Day on the horizon. Though for many, Memorial Day is associated with parades, cookouts, and camping, it’s important to remember the true meaning behind it. It’s a day to honor and pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving and defending our country.
Today, Cobra is continuing a meaningful and impactful collaboration by announcing the release of their new Darkspeed Volition America drivers. With every purchase of a Cobra Volition America driver, a portion of the proceeds will go directly to the Folds of Honor Foundation. This foundation provides educational scholarships to families of fallen American military heroes, which is a meaningful and impactful cause.
Cobra’s Volition America driver is the third limited edition of the Darkspeed drivers. Earlier this year, we saw a collaboration with the Palm Tree Crew and their Season Opener edition to commemorate the first major of the year, The Masters. Both releases featured prominent and unique designs on the carbon fiber sole plates. For the Palm Tree Crew driver, a palm tree design was used to put golfers in a relaxed vacation mindset. Meanwhile, the Season Opener unleashes the azaleas synonymous with Augusta National Golf Club. For the Volition America drivers, as you may have guessed, the design is unapologetically American, with not only our nation’s colors of red, white, and blue but also the inclusion of a Bald Eagle and an American flag on the sole. Instead of the standard black carbon crown, the driver has a new silver crown that complements the patriotic colors of the head.
As expected, the Volition America drivers are equipped with all the standard technologies found in the Cobra Darkspeed drivers. Golfers can choose between two models, the Darkspeed X or LS. These models feature a lightweight carbon crown and sole plate, a re-engineered PWR-BRIDGE weight, and a larger PWRSHELL face. The X and LS models also come with adjustable hosels and moveable weights, which allows golfers to customize and perfect their ball flight. For an in-depth discussion on the performance and technologies of the Darkspeed lineup, visit the THP Forum, where golfers have been talking about this driver family since its release in January.
Cobra’s Darkspeed Volition America driver includes a matching headcover featuring the Bald Eagle and American flag design from the sole. In addition, the driver is equipped with a Project X HZRDUS GEN 4 Black shaft, which has been painted in the same red, white, and blue color scheme. This shaft is available in regular, stiff, and x-stiff flexes.
Starting today, Darkspeed Volition America drivers are available in 9° and 10.5° lofts for $649 in both the Darkspeed X and Darkspeed LS models. More information is available at www.cobragolf.com.
