To commemorate the first men’s major championship of 2024, Cobra Golf is releasing new limited edition Darkspeed X and Darkspeed LS drivers with unique colorways and graphics featuring Augusta green highlights and azaleas.
The Darkspeed Season Opener drivers come in a gloss black finish, which is a contrast to the matte finish of the standard model. The unique azalea graphic print on the sole and skirt of the driver is highlighted with green accents to go along with a matching Mitsubishi Tensi 1K Black shaft and headcover.
Cobra Darkspeed technology refresher
The 2024 Cobra Darkspeed drivers feature aerodynamic shaping, a re-engineered PWR-Bridge structure behind the face (to help transfer energy and position mass) and a 13-percent larger PWRSHELL H.O.T. Face insert, which has been re-engineered with the help of A.I.
“The aerodynamic package in the new Darkspeed family of drivers is our most advanced to date,” said Mike Yagley, VP of innovation at Cobra Golf. “We continue to push aerodynamic shaping, mass properties and resilience to drive technology and innovation, providing golfers the most advanced and high-performance clubs possible.”
The drivers also feature a multi-material construction with lightweight carbon soles and crown plates to go 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.
The Darkspeed LS offers the most compact profile and is aimed at golfers at the highest end of the swing-speed spectrum who need low spin off the tee and demand workability. With its compact shaping, the LS is the most aerodynamic and fastest driver Cobra has ever made.
The Darkspeed X model is designed to fit the largest group of golfers and offers an ideal combination of speed and forgiveness while still being equipped with a front-to-back adjustable center of gravity.

The Cobra DarkSpeed Season Opener X and LS drivers are available now at Fairway Jockey for $649.
