Cobra LTDx Driver Lineup

How is everyone finding the top edge of the face for durability? My misses are generally high on the face so I really appreciate the infinity face on my SpeedZone, and feel like I might miss that on the LTD from a durability POV.

I've had a couple of pop-ups that I thought for sure would leave an idiot mark but there wasn't a mark to be seen.
Nice! Thank you for the details. Sounds like a winner for you.
Haha! I've never heard of anyone calling it an idiot mark...But definitely feel like it when someone looks at my driver
. I've hit too many in that spot on my current Callaway.
Over the weekend, I played another round with the setting at standard (9*). It just wasn’t the same. I am sure some of it was my swing. It wasn’t as good as a few days prior, but it appears that the best setting for me is -1* (8*). This has been an interesting experiment.

I had success last weekend with a regular flex shaft that I borrowed and +1 draw setting. I am going to try it again on Saturday
Haven’t had a problem with misses high on the face leaving a mark. Very durable and forgiving too.
I would agree with this here. I've had a couple that I've popped up a little and haven't noticed any marks yet. As far as catching high on the face I've been happy as I've had a couple that were into the wind and came off low spin and penetrating flight where I outdrove people by a long ways.
Overall I've been really happy and am hitting the ball much further. I've been having an issue of coming out of the swing lately which is causing me to snap hook it. When I don't do that though I've been hitting long straight bombs....which is nice! So at least I've got that going for me.
Was having an issue with my LTDx. Distance has been off. Tried lofting up, down and side ways!
Will realized Cobra sent my GD Tour AD IZ5 shaft over 1 1/4" too short!
No wonder I was longer with my ZX, 3 wood. Was commenting what a beast the ZX 3 wood is.
Discovered it my accident as I had them both in my hand side by side.
Been swinging out of my shoes. Couldnt figure out the issue with my LTDx.
Didnt bother checking it when it arrived as I assumed a factory build would be on point.
Well thank you Cobra you sent me a shaft thats too short.
Now battling for Cobra to replace it! Pretty upset that Cobra's QA cant even measure a driver correctly...

that's weird. how long was the shaft without the head from butt of grip to adapter?
wonder if they grabbed a tour length shaft instead of the standard.
not a fun surprise though.
Either way QA should have checked. Now $650 later trying to see if Cobra steps up...wonder if they grabbed a tour length shaft instead of the standard.
Unlike what is sometimes hyperbole with many releases, I 100% feel that the LTDx is a step forward and worth an upgrade.

That's the worst thing I have read all day. I am booking a fitting session for a new shaft for my SpeedZone but now I will probably have to swing the new clubs...
It is truly a Unicorn!

Love it!I purchased one off the rack based on the feedback here. All the rumors were true. This thing is. And I love the SP Blue.

Stock RDX smoke Blue 6.0. My first CB shaft. Don’t really notice a difference. Swing weight feels fine. I typically prefer a softer butt, stiff tip profile but this combo feels great. I can go after it or give it a nice controlled swing and get very solid results. It’s so nice to be comfortable with the setup so quickly because I’m just swinging freely. Loving it.
I’m a big fan of the smoke blue in mine. Usually CB shafts have a short shelf life for me but this one seems to want to stick around.
I have been messing around with shafts since I got the LTDx. I had all stiff and then a buddy gave me a regular flex shaft and I have been hitting it straight (2 rounds). It was brought to my attention that it was launching a little low and I never thought to check if it was a lefty adapter. So first two rounds, I had it set to 8 degrees instead of the 10 I wanted. I took it to the range today and was hitting it in a better launch window. My current misses are low on the face and those were much more acceptable at 10 degrees than 8 degrees.
