Golf club technology radiates from drivers into fairways woods. With the new 2021 Cobra RadSpeed fairway woods, the same design tweaks used to gain performance from the previous SpeedZone line are on full display with the new Radial Weighted—where RadSpeed came from—RadSpeed fairway woods.

The line features four distinct models: RadSpeed, RadSpeed Big Tour, RadSpeed Tour, and RadSpeed Draw.

2021 Cobra RadSpeed fairway woods: RadSpeed Technology

Weight savings means more weight optimization, and much like the RadSpeed driver, the fairway woods capitalize on discretionary weight saved from around the head and offers more forgiveness and ball speed. Fairway wood optimization is crucial for golfers of all skill levels looking to get the most out of their long games—whether it be approach shots into longer par 4s, going after par 5s in two, or just trying to hit more fairways off the tee.

The new carbon crown is stronger and thinner to save six grams of weight to be positioned around the head. Additional weight was saved from low-stress areas around the head to be repositioned. The repositioned mass is used in different ways depending on the RadSpeed model, to offer the best fitting opportunity for the intended golfer.

The other key feature of the new RadSpeed fairway woods is Cobra’s signature Baffler rails. Designers continue to refine and improve these hollow split rails, and by once again saving weight and thinning the walls around the leading edge, they have been able to increase the flexion on the leading edge by 70 percent according to Cobra.

Last but not least is the milled Infinity Face. It’s not a new technology at this point, but it’s new to the Cobra fairway woods. Infinity face is five times more precise than traditional hand-polishing and offers higher measured CT around the face and more consistent ball speeds. The other tweak compared to the previous SpeedZone is the final face milling pattern has been adjusted to better frame the ball at address.

RadSpeed models and specs

Cobra RadSpeed

The standard RadSpeed offers a traditional shape with the most all-around and balanced performance for golfers of all abilities. There is a total of 23 grams of radial weighting in the head (16g front and 7g in the back) which is close to 11 percent of the club head’s total mass.

The most interesting design element of the standard RadSpeed model is this has the largest footprint from address while not actually being the biggest head in the line from a CC (cubic centimeter) perspective. This is possible because the largest model (as you can probably guess), the Big Tour, has a face height of 31mm compared to the standard model, which has a measured face height of 27.5mm. This makes the standard model both extremely forgiving and easy to launch.

Specs

The premium stock shafts are the Fujikura Motore X F3 in stiff and regular and Project X Even Flow Riptide in lite flex.

RadSpeed Big Tour & Tour

Both the RadSpeed Big Tour and Tour fairway woods have the same 23g radial weighting as the standard RadSpeed fairway woods, but the models configured to be more forward-biased to make them the lowest spinning options in the line.

The Big Tour is only available as a 3-wood and comes in at 173cc, making it the largest and deepest of the fairway woods. It is a great option for golfers looking for another club to be used off the tee and for faster players off the fairway.

The Tour fairway on the other hand is only available in a 5-wood and is the deepest—and by far most compact-looking—club in the line. It has been built to offer maximum workability for those seeking shotmaking control.

The premium stock shaft for the Tour and Big Tour fairway woods is the Fujikura Motore X F1.

RadSpeed Draw

Utilizing the same 23 grams of discretionary mass, the RadSpeed Draw has 16 of those grams placed internally low and close to the heel of the club to create a draw bias. The other little draw helper built into the club is its specs. The RadSpeed Draw fairways woods are stock one-degree more upright compared to the standard model, and when you combine that with the ability to make them even more upright with the MyFly adjustable hosel, you have the recipe to help eliminate the right side of the course.

The premium stock shaft for the RadSpeed Draw fairway is the Project X Even Flow Riptide.

RadSpeed: Women’s options

It’s important to note Cobra offers the ability to custom order any of its fairway wood offerings with lighter women’s specific shafts, but from a stock perspective, Cobra is offering an exclusive elderberry color option in the standard and draw models in the 3, 5, and 7-wood with the stock shaft offering of a 40-gram Project X Evenflow Riptide.

Cobra RadSpeed price and availability

The new 2021 Cobra RadSpeed fairway woods are priced at $279 each in both color options and stock shafts and will be available at retail and online starting January 29.

Cobra RadSpeed fairway woods, along with the entire RadSpeed line, will continue to employ Cobra Connect powered by Arccos. Every club comes with an embedded electronic sensor in the grip to automatically record the distance and accuracy of every shot so golfers can track improvements round-to-round.
