For ClubTest 2020, we tested and reviewed 28 new drivers to help you find the right one for your game. Below are the results for the Cobra King SpeedZone driver. You can find the full list of drivers and test results here.

Price: $450
Lofts: 9 ̊, 10.5 ̊, 12 ̊
Our take: The CNC-milled face on the SpeedZone driver has a fresh look with an Infinity design that wraps into the sole and crown to enlarge the sweet spot and boost forgiveness (something players raved about during testing). Removing unwanted titanium—50 percent of the head is comprised of carbon fiber—allowed for the addition of a 69-gram internal weight that pushes the center of gravity down and away from the strike to maximize head stability. Combine all of these attributes and you get a driver loaded with forgiveness and pinpoint accuracy. There’s a reason why Cobra staffers Rickie Fowler and Bryson DeChambeau switched to SpeedZone almost immediately after it was released. For non-pros, the driver also checks a bunch of boxes, but where it truly shines is in the ball speed retention department. Robot testing revealed a club that produces nearly identical ball speed numbers on shots struck in the center of the face and off the toe. With this and the Xtreme model finishing near the top in forgiveness tests, players have two great options based on shape and adjustability preferences.
ClubTester’s take (+1-hdcp): “Firm feel of this driver is like Led Zeppelin back in the day—it hits all the right notes and gets your attention.”
Robot’s take: For both fast and mid swing speeds, forgiveness on toe hits and in general spiked while also producing a lower peak height.

Cobra King SpeedZone

The Speedzone Driver features a traditional shape with front to back CG adjustability. The Cobra Speedzone drew inspiration from Forumla 1 Race Cars, Cobra has enhanced 6 different zones for performance, so the player can experience the feeling of driving at top speed. Just like an engine that creates horsepower, the driver face creates ball speed. Golf’s first CNC Milled Infinity Face increases the milled area by 95% and expands the zone of maximum ball speed. 69 grams of mass are positioned as low as possible to create the most efficient transfer of energy to the ball for high launch with low spin.
