Published

Jun 18, 2020

It has been a year filled with unexpectedly canceled and rescheduled events. But in the world of limited-release products, where manufacturing schedules are prepared over a year in advance, the new Pars and Stripes limited edition Cobra SpeedZone driver is just in time for what would have been the 2020 U.S. Open Championship.

The new Pars and Stripes SpeedZone driver, including the Xtreme, feature a color palette inspired by the U.S. Open and the American flag.

It has a white crown, with red and blue highlights on the sole, and the driver’s infinity face and sole features a very cool blue PVD finish.

The drivers offer the same technology as the standard SpeedZone and SpeedZone Xtreme—you can check out all the details our in-depth launch piece: Cobra gets faster in 2020 with new SpeedZone and SpeedZone Xtreme drivers—but with one noticeable exception.

The Limited Edition Pars and Stripes comes equipped with a real deal Fujikura Ventus shaft with Velocore.

If you were to configure the standard SpeedZone driver with a Fujikura Ventus the upcharge is $240, whereas, with the Pars and Stripes, you get the shaft along with the limited edition paintjob for only $100 more than the standard driver – it more than justifies the additional price of the club.

Price and Availability

The Pars and Stripes Cobra SpeedZone drivers will be available is Friday, June 19.

They will be right hand only and come in nine degrees for the SpeedZone and 10.5 in the SpeedZone Xtreme. Both have Cobra’s MyFly loft sleeve to adjust the driver 1.5 degrees up and down from the standard loft.

The drivers will also be available in Regular and Stiff flex, with X-stiff available through custom order

Retail price is $549.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
