$549.99
Get yourself a new Cobra Darkspeed driver with custom shafts and specs from Fairway Jockey today!
MODELS: Cobra Darkspeed X, Cobra Darkspeed Max and Cobra Darkspeed LS
NEED TO KNOW: All three of the new Darkspeed drivers feature more aerodynamic shaping, a re-engineered PWR-Bridge structure behind the face (to help transfer energy and position mass) as well as a 13-percent larger PWRSHELL H.O.T. Face insert, which has been re-engineered with the help of A.I.
The drivers also feature a multi-material construction with lightweight carbon sole and crown plates to go along with the reinforced titanium body. The carbon fiber plates are 30 percent lighter than the titanium they replace and allow more discretionary weight to be positioned around the head for increased MOI. All of these technologies have been optimized for each of the models to deliver the maximum benefit to the target golfer, and each driver comes with Cobra’s MyFly adjustable hosel.

Cobra Darkspeed and Air-X Irons
Cobra Darkspeed Irons
$142.71/club
Get yourself new Cobra Darkspeed irons with custom shafts and specs from Fairway Jockey today!
MODELS: Cobra Darkspeed, Cobra Darkspeed One Length and Cobra Air-X
NEED TO KNOW: To help provide golfers with distance, forgiveness and feel, the engineers at Cobra refined key technologies from the Darkspeed metal wood line (like PWR-Bridge) and shrunk them down to create the new Darkspeed irons. Then, to enhance the feel of the hollow-body design, they injected foam microspheres to fill the internal cavity to finely tune the acoustics. To help optimize ball flight and distance control through the set, Darkspeed irons offer what Cobra calls progressive TECFLO construction that transitions from a full-hollow design with PWR-Bridge and PWRSHELL in the longer 4-7-irons, to a full hollow-body with no face insert in the 8-PW. And, finally, to a half-hollow design in the gap and sand wedges.
What separates the PWR-Bridge of the woods from the irons is that the weight in the irons is suspended on a small post, which allows it to sit almost completely free floating within the hollow clubhead thanks to the supporting foam microspheres. This design allows for the precise positioning of the center of gravity for optimal launch while creating an improved face and sole that helps increase ball speed and launch.

Cobra Darkspeed X Fairway Woods
$329.99
Get yourself a new Cobra Darkspeed X fairway wood with custom shafts and specs from Fairway Jockey today!
MODELS: Cobra Darkspeed X, Cobra Darkspeed Max and Cobra Darkspeed LS
NEED TO KNOW: All three of the new Darkspeed fairway woods feature a re-engineered PWR-Bridge structure behind the face to help transfer energy and position mass low within the head, which maximizes launch and spin characteristics. The Darkspeed fairway woods have a larger PWRSHELL H.O.T. Face insert, which has been re-engineered with the help of A.I. to create more efficient energy transfer, and a multi-material construction with lightweight carbon-crown plates to help boost MOI.
But the biggest change to the Darkspeed fairway wood lineup is the conversion from steel to titanium in the LS model, which helps shave a ton of weight from the body. This can then be repositioned around the head to create ideal launch characteristics for faster players who want to control their ball flight.

The classically-shaped hybrids come in loft options of 17, 19, 21, 24 and 28 degrees to help golfers build their perfect combo set. They come with KBS PGI graphite shafts.
