Cobra Long Tom Driver

[levina]

During World War II, the United States Army used massive 155 mm Gun M1 cannons that could hit enemy targets with a 94-pound shell from 14 miles away. Nicknamed \"Long Tom,\" they were serious heavy hitters. This fall, Cobra Golf will release two Cobra Long Tom Driver
inspired by those cannons—the Long Tom and the limited-edition Long Tom RAW—for golfers who want serious firepower on the tee.
Measuring four feet in length (the USGA length limit is 48\" for all clubs except putters), the face of each Long Tom driver is made from a new titanium alloy that is stronger than previous materials used by Cobra. This alloy makes the face thinner, and in the process, creates 20 grams of discretionary weight that has been redistributed low and deep in the 460-cc head. This discretionary weight lowers the center of gravity and helps to create a higher launch and, according to Cobra, more distance.
Like last season\'s S3 driver family, Cobra Long Tom Driver
also feature an elliptically shaped sweet spot that helps to maintain ball speed on shots hit in the low-heel and high-toe areas, where Cobra says players mis-hit most often.
Weighing in at a scant 269 grams, the Long Tom will come standard with a Grafalloy Blackbird shaft. Grafalloy says that a unique black paint on the Blackbird improves aerodynamics. Even the club\'s grip, a Winn Ultra Light/Shorty, is geared toward adding yardage—it\'s so small that you can\'t choke down on the club!
While the standard, all-black Long Tom driver will be released in late November for $349, there will be 500 limited-edition Cobra Long Tom Driver
sold by authorized Cobra dealers starting in mid-October for $499 each.
Straight from the factory floor, the Long Tom RAW is unfinished, with no paint or cosmetic treatments. Aside from the titanium alloy, the only marks on the clubhead are testing measurements and the club\'s serial number.
You may fire when ready.
