LTDx DRIVERS
The LTDx driver has been re-engineered to make you faster. Drawing on years of feedback and testing from some of the longest hitters on Tour, our engineers have created the first driver to achieve the combination of low spin, fast ball speed, and extreme forgiveness that can help every player achieve their Longest Total Distance.
Lower Spin With Higher Forgiveness
PWR-COR Technology positions a substantial amount of weight low and forward for faster ball speed with reduced spin. An additional tungsten back weight takes our fastest driver and makes it extremely forgiving and playable for a wide range of players.
Our Hottest Face Design
A new H.O.T Face design is precisely tuned for speed using machine learning. Using data from thousands of impact simulations, we've created 15 different zones with perfected thicknesses to increase ball speed across a larger area of the face.
Lighter & Stronger Construction
A multi-material construction features up to 30% more carbon and a lighter and more stable titanium chassis. The new design maximizes weight savings so we can position more mass low and forward in the PWR-COR to increase speed.
Tech Overview
PWR-COR TECHNOLOGY
PWR-COR Technology is a multi-material weighting system that positions as much weight as possible low and forward. 19 grams total (a 14g machined steel internal weight and a 5g exterior aluminum weight) is positioned right behind the hitting zone to transfer maximum speed to the golf ball at impact with reduced spin. The addition of a 15g back weight perfectly balances low spin with high launch and extreme forgiveness for longer distance.
H.O.T FACE TECHNOLOGY
Using machine learning and CNC machining, we've created a new variable thickness design that is precision tuned for speed. H.O.T stands for "Highly Optimized Topology." Using data from thousands of impact simulations, we've optimized thicknesses in 15 different zones to maximize ball speed across a larger area of the face. These zones create visual peaks and valleys that resemble a topology map, which is how the design got its name.
MULTI-MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION
A multi-material construction uses a lightweight carbon crown and sole plate, and a lighter and stronger titanium chassis. The new chassis design is 8.3g lighter and allows for up to 30% more carbon fiber to be used. A lighter chassis is critical to freeing up more discretionary weight that could be positioned low and forward in the PWR-COR to increase ball speed.
FIXED BACK WEIGHTING
15g of combined back weighting (10g fixed weight & a 5g tungsten weight) increases stability and promotes a higher ball flight with maximum carry distance.
CNC MILLED INFINITY FACE
An updated CNC Infinity Face design wraps around the leading edge to increase the zone of maximum ball speed while providing a traditional topline for improved visual alignme
COBRA
LTD X/LTD X LS
Our Review:
WHAT IT DOES: Cobra’s LTDx line features three models for three ball-flight preferences. The LTDx has an oversize shape to maximize forgiveness. The LTDx Max is large, too, but includes adjustable weights for extra draw bias. The LTDx LS positions all of its discretionary weight forward to produce the least amount of spin of the three. Large, ultra-forgiving drivers often have an issue with an elevated center of gravity; if the CG is too high, distance-sapping high spin is more likely. However, Cobra engineers use an internal cartridge with a heavy steel weight toward the front to lower the CG. The result is the low spin you want with the forgiveness you need.
WHY WE LIKE IT: These Sherman-tank stable clubheads achieve the low-spin and high-launch thing as well as any on the market. Another compelling technological accomplishment is a new variable-thickness face design that smartly finds extra heat for those off-center hits while maintaining all the distance your best shots deserve. Even better, it’s lighter, saving even more weight to fine-tune the distinct performance of all three models.
WHICH ONE'S FOR ME?
LTDx: Its large frame balances the stability of rear weighting with forward mass that lowers the CG for less spin. A 15-gram back weight balances the forward weighting to match high stability on off-center hits with low spin. Cobra cites it as its first driver to have a CG perfectly in line with the neutral axis for maximum energy transfer and low spin while at the same time having a moment of inertia measured at 5,000 grams/centimeters squared for extreme off-center-hit forgiveness.
LTDx LS: Designed for tour players and better amateurs, it's the lowest spinning model in the LTDx family. Its discretionary weight is positioned forward for a low CG. It features the lowest spin and a mid-launch. The front weights in the sole are 10 grams and 3 grams and can be used to influence a draw or fade, depending on where the heavier weight is placed (heel-side is more draw, toe-side is more fade).
