The flex of shaft you use varies and is best recommended in-person by a fitter. Too many variables like swing tempo and swing speed affect the type of shaft that is best for you. Here's a link to find a Cobra retailer: http://www.cobragolf.com/locator.aspx. Select "Custom Fitting" to find a fitter near you. Chip-

There are too many variables to fit a shaft online - it is always best to see ball flight and discuss the feel of the shaft with a fitter to get a final recommendation. But if you have found a shaft that you like already, in general you'll probably like how that shaft performs in other clubs. You may find this link helpful when comparing shafts: http://www.cobragolf.com/drivers/shafts/default.asp. Francesco-

The sound of the Speed LD cannot be changed - but if you do get a chance to demo the ZL or even the new Cobra S2 Drivers, you'll notice a very pleasing sound. Michael,

To answer your question, the missing piece to understanding how Adjustable Flight Technology works is the design of the hosel. The 120° rotation of the shaft alters the angle at which the hosel enters the clubhead - which in turn alters the face angle. This subtle, hidden change is what causes the three settings of AFT to be possible all while keeping the sole flat on the ground. Richard-

Ideally, we recommend visiting a custom fitter to find the right shaft for you. If you'd like to see a comparison of different shafts performance and where the ZL driver stock shaft falls in the mix, click on this link: http://www.cobragolf.com/drivers/shafts/default.asp. The chart will show you how to get more/less launch or more/less spin from your shaft. If you do order a different shaft for your ZL through a Cobra retailer, we will automatically send the correct weight that goes into your ZL driver head. Sorry, we're not able to pinpoint the correct shaft for you - but there are just too many variables and not enough information to fit online - which is why visiting a fitter would be very beneficial for you.

It's hard to recommend a shaft flex only using swing speeds. The tempo of a swing can also affect the ideal type of flex. It's always best to get custom fit especially if you aren't sure what flex you would require. In general, if you have a medium swing tempo your ball speed would range from 112-135 mph to fit into a regular flex shaft and 135-157 to fit into a stiff flex. These are only generalizations though - so getting fit is the best answer. The Speed Pro S is 1 degree open.

Shortening the length of any club has different results from one player to another - so it depends on many different variables - swings, clubhead speed, club type, etc. Generally, a shorter club allows for more accuracy. For Camilo, his swing speed is so fast that 1/4" off his irons probably doesn't affect performance drastically, but the length is more of a comfort/preference for him. We can check with our Tour team though to see if there's anything special that went into that length. Yes, Camilo’s driver is 1″ shorter than the stock S9-1 Pro S driver.
