The Cobra Max Driver was designed for the golfer who needs all the help they can get. For years, Cobra has been the leading name in clubs designed to help any golfer who struggles with their ball flight to hit consistently better shots and have more fun, and this driver is one of the best they’ve ever designed.
No matter if you’re brand new to the game and need help producing straighter drives, or you find yourself constantly battling a slice. The Cobra Max Driver was designed with the mid-to-high handicapper in mind at a price that won’t put a dent in your wallet.

Key Features
As with most game improvement clubs, the Cobra Max Driver starts with an offset hosel, which makes squaring the clubface at impact easier than with a standard hosel setting. Paired with a 460cc club head, you’ll have confidence that every tee shot is going to be a good one.
The Cobra Max Driver has a large, forgiving face thanks to its speed channel technology. This trench allows the manufacturer to make the face thinner, which increases flex in all parts of the face. More flex means more distance no matter where you make contact on the club face.
Zone Weighting helps the Cobra Max Driver optimize the center of gravity for maximum distance. By removing weight from the crown and placing it down and back on the sole of the club, the result is optimal launch with lower spin, the perfect recipe for incredible distance.
With so much technology packed into a driver that will help any golfer reduce or eliminate their slice, while producing longer and straighter tee shots, the Cobra Max Driver is the perfect club for the budget-conscious golfer looking for the very best in forgiveness and distance and who value a simple, non-adjustable design.
Design and Technology
The Cobra Max driver is chock full of features that make hitting from the tee easy for all players, but especially for the mid-to-high handicapper looking for all the help they can get. Starting with the largest possible club head, you’ll quickly notice how much space you have to make contact with the golf ball. When you’re needing confidence, knowing there’s plenty of surface area to make the ball fly a long way is a step in the right direction.
The Cobra Max Driver is designed to help those of you who fight a slice, which happens to be 90 percent of all golfers. The most profound way this driver helps you is with its offset hosel, which places the clubface behind the shaft about a centimeter. At address, it may look a little awkward, but the results can amaze you. The offset hosel gives the Cobra Max Driver a huge draw bias and helps the club square faster than a standard driver. It won’t take long to see your slice diminish and your drives going longer and straighter.
There are plenty of clubs on the market that boast game improvement features, but the Cobra Max Driver has the technology to back it up. The technology begins with the Speed Channel, which is a thin trench that wraps around the perimeter of the clubface. The trench enhances the trampoline effect, with faster flexing and release of energy. This helps you reach your maximum distance potential, even on off-center hits.
The Cobra Max Driver utilizes Zone Weighting as their way of bringing the center of gravity low and back, which is the key for a high launch with less spin. A light crown allows the manufacturer to move weight to the bottom and back of the head, bringing you the perfect blend of carry and roll every time you tee it up.

If you're new to the game, or fighting a slice and you need a club to do some of the work for you, then adding the Cobra Max Driver to your bag will help tremendously!
Our Experience
The LTDx Max is designed to be Cobra's most forgiving driver. It excels in keeping shots on the fairway, even when contact is not perfectly centered. The driver’s draw bias helps reduce slice spin, making it easier to control ball flight and keep the ball in play.
While it may not be the longest driver in Cobra's lineup, it offers competitive distance, especially for mid to high swing speed players. Our testers found it to be sneaky long with low spin, which helps maximize roll-out.
The adjustable weights allow golfers to fine-tune the draw bias, making it versatile for different playing styles. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who struggle with a right miss, as it can help straighten out shots effectively.
