Ho'd a Big dog to cheer myself up a bit...
Well today I went to Nevada Bob's and Ho'd (ordered) myself a Cobra Speed Pro D 9.5 degrees with the Aldila VS Proto shaft. I've never seen the D in the flesh but I've Demo'd the S and that looks classy but I don't like Fuji shafts and the face was a little shallow, so hopefully the D will fit the bill as I like deeper faced drivers and love the VS Proto, it looks great on Cobras website. King Cobra Speed Pro D Details

I'm gonna sell the FT5 Tour not that anything is wrong with it but I'm a little depressed of late so thought a change of big dog may perk my up a little.

nice idea!

why not order some custom scratch wedges - with your mums name on or something - as a lasting tribute...

I hate all of those Cobra Speed drivers.

The heads are MASSIVE looking, I hate the dents, and they sound absolutley horrible and way to loud.

Hope you like it.

The Speed Pro's are a lot more traditional shaped than any of the other Speed series with only small dents. The Speed D is almost 905R shaped from what I've seen & the Vs Proto shaft is a great engine room.

Nice idea, I replace my wedges a lot though, so I'll Send my Scotty off over the winter for a custom job at the studio, thanks.

Shoot, I would've "customized" it for you free of charge...

The SC Custom Shop does good work. At the start of the year (as a Christmas present to myself) I had them add sight lines to the flange and stamp my initials on the face.

Looks sweet. I'm thinking 2 aditional sight lines and my Mum's name around the back arc. Will look into it nearer winter when I can send it away for a while.

That is the nicest driver ever I swear, absolutely amazing.

I also agree with your comments on the S vs the D, the D is much better looking with the deeper face and i like the VS proto wayyyy better as well.

Great pickup MG.

Ahh yes, I'm thinking of the Speed LD.

Horrible driver, based on everything but performance.
