Tom. This morning you wrote 9 degrees So my guess is 10.5 is getting you a higher launch angle and the light shaft helps you swing the club faster. Also Cobra stock shafts are one flex softer than stated on the shaft (butt frequency) I've measured 3 of them (different ones) Regular is A and stiff is R.   Quote: I recently had the pleasure of using a King Cobra 440 9° driver and found it very responsive.  I got at least 25 yards greater distance with a lot less effort that allowed me to gain greater accuracy in direction.  : Looking for an Alternate Afternoon Tom, The loft on this club is 10.5°.  I just finished hitting a dozen balls in my yard and eleven were at least 240 yrds long and within a fairway width of fifty yards.  The fairway needs to be tightened to no more than 30 yards before I am really happy with my drives.  Sometimes on our course 40 yrds will get you in trouble.  I am open for any suggestions as I take them as education.

Back to my earlier question.  During my six years of seriously playing golf and doing my own repairs, new grips and occasional shaft changes, I have never experienced the difference in clubs that I have with this one.  My increased distance is consistent with every drive, straight and averages 230 yrds.  As one that rarely hit over 200 this is a welcomed change.  My question is, who else makes a head that responds like this one?  I am 64 years old, in good health, normally hit my 5I 160 yards and my driver 200 yrds.  Swing speed between the two averages 9O mph.  Not counting this last two weeks my average is 94 but with the change it is dropping rapidly.  My first outing with this club brought me my first score of 80 and I followed up that with high 80's to low 90's.  I am looking for a driver head that I can buy and fit someone with that will give them that same results. Have a great afternoon, I should be on the green making a birdie putt right now. Thanks again.  Tom Lloyd Hackman wrote: Was it the head or was it the shaft frequency         Andre    It was the head.                   -- Where is it okay to be teed off, tote a six-iron, shoot birdies, and if you're under par it's a great day? -- Where is it okay to be teed off, tote a six-iron, shoot birdies, and if you're under par it's a great day?
