King Cobra L5V Promises Long, Straight Drives

Print E-mail

Cobra L5VCobra Golf is calling its latest driver, the King Cobra L5V, its longest, straightest club ever. This multi-material driver not only possesses Cobra's largest, most forgiving club face, it also features Adjustable Flight Technology, which allows golfers to maximize their personal distance and accuracy through ball flight adjustment.

"The King Cobra L5V builds upon our award-winning, tour-proven L4V driver, and takes performance to the next level," said Brian Zender, General Manager, Cobra Golf. "It's the longest, straightest driver in the 35-year history of the Cobra brand." 

King Cobra L5V Technology

That unprecedented power comes as a result of the King Cobra L5V's unique technology.

"We distinguished the King Cobra L5V from the rest of the pack, with three major technical advancements," said Scott Rice, Director of Research and Development, Cobra Golf. "Its club face is the largest we've ever made, maximizing ball speed across the face. We utilized lightweight carbon composite to shift the Center of Gravity (CG) lower so more of the effective hitting area is where most golfers strike the clubface. We also employed an all-new technology to allow golfers to choose between a standard and draw-biased club face setting."

Largest Face in Golf

The KIng Cobra L5V not only has the industry's largest club face, it also features Cobra's proven milled Dual Rhombus Face insert. Combined, these design features optimize ball speed by generating maximum Coefficient of Restitution (COR) across the entire face and delivering longer, straighter drives.

Multi-Material Technology


The King Cobra L5V's clubhead features a 6-4 Titanium body and face insert, complimented by an ultra-lightweight carbon composite crown and sole inserts. Utilizing these materials allowed Cobra engineers to shift the CG lower - 68 percent of the effective hitting area is situated above the CG - and further back, for a high Moment of Inertia (MOI) value. Together, these characteristics promote a higher launch and lower spin, which translates into more distance and accuracy.

Adjustable Flight Technology


To optimize distinct ball flights and shapes, L5V drivers feature an exclusive hosel design that enables golfers to easily adjust from the standard factory setting (0) to an increased draw-based setting (1).

Every King Cobra L5V is equipped with a proprietary L5V torque wrench that inserts into the hosel screw port, so golfers can quickly and easily adjust the ball flight and/or change the shaft.

Speed Tuning

Since every player and every game is unique, the King Cobra L5V is Speed Tuned to provide individuals with a driver that's optimized specifically to them for consistently longer, straighter drives. By defining ball speed, swing speed or driving distance, golfers can be matched with their ideal club loft, Mitsubishi Diamana Red Board shaft and shaft weight - to maximize distance and accuracy.

Prive and Availability: King Cobra L5V drivers begin shipping on October 1, with a suggested retail price of $480.

I hit the L5V driver this weekend. I am relatively new to golf, and just starting to decrease my slice, but I have never hit as far and straight as I did with this club. The only downside to the club is you don't get the loud conventional "dink" sound when you hit it, the sound is more hollow, but, as far as I am concerned, I can deal with a little "off" sound to consistently hit like that.
