Golfers love options, especially when it comes to the finish of the clubs which they are spending their hard-earned money on, after all, you should be able to enjoy what you are looking down at, right? This year, when it comes to aesthetics, Cobra Golf is embracing the saying “less is more”. While the accents and finish on their LTDx drivers and KING Cobra wedges have garnered a lot of positive feedback, it still seems as though practically everyone loves a dark finish.

Those look sharp.
 
That looks mean! I like the black wedges too, no glare! What is the white LinQ shaft? Is that just a paint color or a new shaft?

Only info I have is the name, @JB might know more
 
Guessing the extra cost comes from the shaft they are including with it?

I do prefer the look of the blacked out driver, but not enough to pay the extra premium (unless that shaft gives better results)
 
Oh... my... goodness...

I was about to go searching on the UST website but was just there earlier this week and didn't see it.

I saw it somewhere that it was the M40X...but I can't be 100% sure
 
man I really really really really like the looks of that driver.

I’m most curious to see everyone’s reaction to just this. I think knowing more about the shaft could soften the blow, but 100.00 for removing gold and orange accents might be tough for some to swallow.

That seems pretty standard for what is essentially a custom offering compared to other OEM's
 
Really looks good.
 
Wow that looks MEAN.

The price point is right at that point for me that goes maybe.... I'd easily drop $50 more to get colors I want. When I was sniffing around the Taylormade and saw the $100 jump to change the color of the face I was turned off. Given my Cobra affinity this is in that middle ground of maybe.
 
The all black looks really good on those!

It’s the great debate for sure.

Though 599 is definitely better than 699 haha
 
Holy ****.

Yeah, if it had been for a different coloured head with the same stock offerings, I wouldn't even consider it - it all comes down to the performance of that shaft for me to then make a decision on whether it is worth it

Sticking another $100 on the price brings it in line with more of the other OEM offerings, so negates some cost savings if someone is trying to save some money on a new driver

I don't see it as a true custom offering though - it is a retail option with no choice in what colours you could have
 
Does anyone know if this means we may not see any other limited editions throughout the year?
 
For those wondering about the shaft, it is a new LINQ from UST Mamiya that is part of the m40x line. It is a low to mid shaft and should pair ridiculously well with this head.
It is not made for, but aftermarket similar in cost to the rest of the LINQ lineup.

I would assume they are still doing their majors releases but have no confirmation
