It became clear during my testing that the RADSPEED XD is exceptionally forgiving when it comes to straightening out slices.

In this regard, the driver is certainly friendly towards golfers with slower swing speeds. Results may vary, but in my estimation, it’s quite easy to get the ball up in the air and get good carry. And despite the higher spin rates (350+ RPM) and higher launch angle, total distance is only marginally less. Smash factor, or the amount of ball speed produced for a given clubhead speed, is roughly the same as the original low-spin RADSPEED. The RADSPEED XD does extremely well in minimizing this tradeoff.

Because everyone’s swing and body are different, results with a particular club may differ from person to person.

How does the RADSPEED XD actually perform when put to the test? How does it compare to the other models in the RAD line? Who is it best suited for? Is it worth putting in the bag? The RADSPEED XD (or KING RADSPEED XD) benefits from all the technologies that make Cobra’s RAD driver line shine including RADIAL WEIGHTING technology, but its internal weighting shifts the CG more towards the heel for a slice-fighting draw bias.
