If you’re like me, chances are you don’t hit every one of your drives in the exact center of the clubface. While there’s nothing better than catching the sweet spot and nuking one past your buddies, the reality is that you could benefit from some added forgiveness without sacrificing distance.
That’s exactly what the Cobra DarkSpeed Max driver was designed to deliver. This driver was one of dozens I tested earlier this year, and I was more than impressed with its results and performance.
In today’s review, we’re going to take an in-depth look at what makes the Cobra DarkSpeed Max driver one of the best in 2024.

After spending a significant amount of time testing the DarkSpeed Max driver on the range and out on the course, I reached the conclusion that it’s one of the best performing drivers for the majority of golfers this year.
Not only does it deliver explosive ball speeds and distance, it affords golfers maximum forgiveness from the heel all the way to the toe.
Additionally, its adjustability surpasses other drivers in 2024 and the ability to maximize draw bias really helps golfers that battle a slice.
Unless you’re an elite ball striker that swings the club at a high rate of speed, chances are your game can benefit from the performance features the Cobra DarkSpeed Max has to offer.
More than any other line of drivers Cobra has produced in recent years, the DarkSpeed line is jam-packed with the latest and greatest tech and design features.
The story starts with the space-grade materials used in its construction. They were selected by a team of aerospace engineers who also designed the DarkSpeed Max’s super aerodynamic clubhead. Combined, the materials and clubhead profile allow golfers to increase both clubhead and ball speed for unsurpassed distance.
There’s also plenty of adjustability in the DarkSpeed Max. Adjustable heel and toe weights allow golfers to optimize weighting for the best launch, spin, and ball flight conditions.
For golfers that slice the ball, positioning these weights in the draw-bias position helps produce straighter ball flights.
The majority of weight has been placed in the back of this driver’s clubhead. This aids in helping golfers create high launch conditions for maximum carry distance.
The DarkSpeed Max’s PWRSHELL L-Cup face is 10% larger than previous models. This aids in both increasing MOI and creating consistent spin rates across the clubface.
As you can see, the DarkSpeed Max driver has a ton of tech. The good news for golfers is it more than lives up to the hype.
The Cobra DarkSpeed Max driver comes in lofts of 9, 10.5, and 12 degrees of loft.
The length is 45.5”.
The 9-degree clubhead is only available for right-handed golfers, and the 10.5 and 12-degree options come in both right and left-handed options.
Like I said, I loved everything about the Cobra DarkSpeed Max driver when I tested it out.
Its adjustability allowed me to customize it to my swing. There’s also no question that the space-grade materials used in its construction make the Max the longest driver Cobra has ever made.
Lastly, plenty of forgiveness allowed me to keep the ball in the fairway without losing distance.
This driver is the complete package and perfect for the majority of golfers that are looking for more consistency off the tee.
