SPEC;- 9 degrees of loft & fitted with stock Diamana stiff shaft.
I have played 4 rounds with this driver (already) and I have to say it is the best driver I've ever used. No more thinking of the one that got away, no more thoughts about sacrificing distance for accuracy (no need too now), no tracks or ports that catch the floor on my take away. This driver is straighter than the FTi and longer than the FT5 (or anything else I've had in the past 3 years). The stock Diamana is a nice shaft, well the one in mine is anyway. I say this as I have had 3 Cobra Speed Pro S's all with the stock yellow Speeder and they have all played completely different even though they were the exact same spec?
Performance. This stick is LOONNNGGGG and also the straightest I've ever owned. I need to peg it up very high, with the bottom of the ball level with the top of the club face. It just incourages you to go after the ball as hard as you want. Smooth tempo swings fly straight down the middle but fast aggresive (Tiger-esk) swings fly just as straight but futher down the middle. I missed 2 fairways with her, out of 13 drives toaday & Yesterday was a simlar story. The noise is not as 'Tingy' loud as a Cobra SZ440, it's more of a dull Thud 'Ting' like the FT-i although louder. Driving is FUN with this club... I did lose a couple left when I was playing for a big draw from a closed stance & turned it over (1st couple of rounds) but now I'm playing square and for a straight ball flight & it's just working a treat, high straight bombs.
I play regulary with 2 big hitters and with my FT-5 I was up with them when I middled one but I missed quite a lot of fairways. With the FT-i I hit a lot more fairways but was always 15-20 yards behind them. Now with the Cobra I'm up there with them and past them if they don't middle and I do. The big bonus is even when I don't middle, I'm still there or there abouts.
Will the L4V last a season in my bag??? I can't remember the last club that did ! ! ! ! .......but it'll be a fantastic driver that forces it's way past this & for now my driver search is over....I'm now offically not driver shopping!!!:faintthud
I'm off work all week so will be getting a lot more rounds/range sessions in & I will update this thread.

Congratulations! Now don't you dare buy another driver until you don't 3-putt for 72 consecutive holes. Work on your wedges and your putting.
