Always 1 to bring u back
Im in ponder mode for a 5/7 to replace my 3Hybrid which is 19 deg. Has anyone had any results comparing this to either the GBB 5w or the GBB heavenwood?

I didn't notice anything like that when I was hitting Fupy's side by side with my GBB at the time. Freaking missile launcher of a fairway, and the 0 CG might just be more effective here than in the driver.I tried the Cobra King Fwy today. It looks great and it performa very well. However, impact felt incredibly harsh! Did anyone else feel that??? I am not particularly sensitive to looks and sounds when trying clubs, but the feel i got from the face at impact was the worst I ever felt with any club.
I think liveliness is often a reflection on sound, and the LTD stands alone against other drivers due to the muted contact sound.I tried the Cobra King Fwy today.

Had a few minutes to spare so stopped by local PGASS to take a few swings and hit my LTD FW in the sim.
I had not hit it off the tee until today and wanted to just rip it and see what it can do.
Boom!! 5 shots off the tee, average carry 248, spin 2800. Ball makes a loud crack and launches and it just felt "right"
I have NEVER hit a 3 wood over 250 total distance whether it is on a sim or on the course. To see if this was a fluke or the sim messing with me, picked up the GBB 3w and carry was around 230 - my usual distance. 5mph ball speed difference and about 900 rpm spin difference between the two.
Needless to say I was HAPPY and King LTD just works for me. Just AWESOME.
Is anyone is able to compare this with the GBB FW?
I hit this 3 wood last night and I was pretty blown away with what I saw. I've recently hit the 3/4 woods from almost every major manufacturer and nothing really jumped off the page at me until I hit the LTD. I set it to 16* since I'm looking for more of a 4 wood.
The main thing here is ball speed. My goodness I was hitting some shots with this club that would bench my driver! It launched at least a degree higher than the competition in the same loft. The stock Rogue Black is a treat and a great offering.
The downside was that I really couldn't get a leash on the ball with this club. I was missing left pretty consistently with these big turning draws but if I picked up the M1 or 816 Alpha the ball was instantly straight or a little fade. LTD left. I'm not sure if that was due to me jamming the loft up to 16* or something else in this head.
The fairway sounds different than the driver too, at least to me. Same sound but less muted in the fairway...not bad but not as good either.
I am going to try again with a LTD 5 wood with the loft dialed down to see how that works instead of a 3 wood dialed up. It was really nice to see some serious ball speed and carry gains with some new tech though, and maybe restored my faith a little bit.
Agree 100%. The Cobra MyFly adapter really needs an update IMO. The competitors dual cog systems are miles ahead.that is probably the solution. i hit the 3w and dialed it up to 4w loft and had nasty hooks. it felt great and overall distance was good, but the closed nature was a non-starter. i wanted to hit the 5w dialed down to 4w, but they didn't have it when i went.

If I recall though, their adapter allows you to add and subtract loft without changing the face angle though. That to me is pretty nice and something I wouldn't want changed.
can't confirm or deny this, but visually it's very obvious when you change the loft on the fairway wood, it opens or closes the face. it's not as obvious with the driver, though I don't know whether the adapter is any different.

If this 3W has their SmartPad technology that should not be happening.

Yeah I think you're right. It's gotta be all mental for me, or maybe because I don't ground the club prior to gripping I'm negating the smart pad?If I recall though, their adapter allows you to add and subtract loft without changing the face angle though.

I wasn't really considering a new fairway wood but if my LTD driver performs well when it arrives later this week I'm certainly going to demo the fairway woods. I do think the low CG of these makes a lot of sense and the looks of these woods behind the ball is fantastic, IMO.
