2021 Cobra RadSpeed fairway woods
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.

Big Tour specs
Tour 5-wood specs
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.
Specs
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.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
