Offset Driver

The Gift For Christmas — Cobra S2 Offset Driver

The Cobra S2 Offset driver offers accuracy, distance and forgiveness for mid to high handicap golfers who are looking for maximum forgiveness. The draw bias is ideally suited to golfer who need a high launch ball flight that will provide that much needed extra distance and superior accuracy from the tee.

 

The Cobra S2 Offset is packed with the kind of technological breakthroughs that Cobra are famed for and which translate into superior performance from the tee. 9 Point Face Technology sees a Milled Rhombus Face insert working in harmony with an thinner titanium perimeter, a design that ensures extra speed is generate right across the clubface. This means that even off centre hits can retain their distance and accuracy.

 

The Cobra S2 Offset golf driver also features a maximum 460 cc clubhead which is accommodated within a far more traditional head shape than recent Cobra drivers. The titanium clubhead has been designed to provide the best feel and sound of any of Cobra's titanium drivers while providing the maximum level of energy transfer to make sure you get the most from every drive.

 

The Cobra S2 Offset driver comes with the high performance Fujikura Fit-on Max shaft and a Golf Pride grip.

 

If the Cobra S2 driver seems a little daunting for those of you with a slightly higher handicap then help is at hand with the Cobra S2 Offset driver. This dispenses with the Adjustable Flight Technology and Cobra are pitching it as more of a game improvement driver that has a more traditional finish.

 

The silver finish is less striking than the S2 driver but the looks at address are still excellent. Like the S2 driver the S2 Offset version has a slightly extended Fujikura Fit-On shaft which helps to promote ball speed, something that should really give mid handicappers a little extra boost from the tee.

 

We found the Cobra S2 Offset a joy to hit. The ball flight is a little higher （Odyssey White Ice 2 Ball Putter） than the S2 and this is because of a difference in internal weighting that the closed faced requires. This, however, should pose few problems for the higher handicappers who sometime need a little extra encouragement to get the correct ball flight.

 

We found the feel and sound at impact to be terrific and were impressed with how easy it was to get the ball travelling long and straight with a pleasing consistency. We really think this Cobra S2 Offset will be a winner with the mid handicappers out there and the lower price tag should be an attractive proposition for those of you wanting all of Cobra's traditional performance without the premium price tag of the S2 version

Draw - offset Ping / Taylermade / Cobra/ Nike golf Driver question.?

I was just curious and havent tried it yet, but the only difference between a normal Ping/Taylermade/Nike/Cobra driver and a draw/offset one is the clubface correct? Is the weight different or is it just club face? So couldnt you just close the normal driver clubface and get the same results? Thats my Questions. I have been wondering that for a while now and wonder what everyone thinks. I didnt know if the draw drivers have different weighting configures in them or some other techno advancement to help draw the ball besides just having a closed face. Thanks.

How it works is this: When the clubhead accelerates to a certain velocity(normally 60-70mph) the affects of the shaft, the clubface loft, and the weight distribution of the clubhead, begin to play a part in ball flight. So the answer is weight not lie angle. Here's why: When a club is weighted more toward the toe the compression of the ball changes because one part of the head has more mass than that of the other. So in essence a clean shot will compress more on the far side of the ball *simulating* a slight glancing blow (closed clubhead position), creating a draw. If you slice the ball it will help to straighten that type of shot out. However, this only works for golfers who hit a slice as a result of an open clubhead at impact NOT for slicers who have an "outside-in" swing path. To answer your other question, you could close the clubface yes. However you would not be pleased with the results of that shot. Because your woods (this includes driver) have such little loft that an open or closed clubface will dramatically affect your shot. Instead, address the ball as you would to hit a straight shot, when you are set to swing, take your back foot and move it away from the ball about halfway back your front foot or 5-6 inches. Your feet are the same distance apart and are still both pointing in the same direction(s) as before but your back foot is back off-parallel. Once you have done this keep your shoulders on plane and make a normal swing. What this does is give you a very slight "inside-out" swing and you will see the ball take-off and stay straight and fall inside. For a rightey that's left. That's a draw. Personnally, it is my belief that draw clubs are rubbish, there is no cure for a slice besides hard work and training tools like the Medicus, and the Slice Glove. One could argue that they make these things so golfers have more fun. In my mind, if you are trying to correct a swing flaw of yours, you aren't there just for fun and you have some desire to play well. Like the pros and the people in the pro shop say, "you can't buy a game."
