2021 Cobra RadSpeed hybrids

Hybrid clubs are all about consistency, and the new Cobra RadSpeed hybrids for 2021 utilize many of the same design tweaks used in the rest of the RadSpeed line, including the new Radial Weighting to raise MOI and increase launch. The RadSpeed hybrids come in two models that run parallel to the RadSpeed irons with both a variable length and a one-length option to help any golfer build their best set.

2021 Cobra RadSpeed hybrids: The technology

Weight savings mean more mass available to engineers to position around each head. Just as the RadSpeed fairway woods capitalize on discretionary weight to offer more forgiveness and ball speed, the new RadSpeed hybrids have more mass placed forward and towards the extreme heel and toe to create faster ball speeds and better launch conditions. For the variable-length hybrids, this means an average of 48 grams per head, and for the one-length, it means just over 84 grams—since they are played at a shorter length and require more mass to play to the proper spec.

Since hybrids are considered iron replacements, optimization is crucial for golfers of all skill levels looking to score better—whether it be approach shots into longer par 4s, pars 3s, or making recovery shots from deep rough.

A key feature and competitive advantage of the new RadSpeed hybrids is Cobra’s signature Baffler rails. Designers have continued to push manufacturing tolerances, 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 the company.

RadSpeed hybrid model and specs

Variable length

The stock shaft for the variable-length Cobra RadSpeed hybrids is the UST Recoil 480 EXS, and they will be available in right and left-handed except for the 2H, which will only be available in right.

One-Length

The stock shaft for the One-Length Cobra RadSpeed hybrids is also the UST Recoil 480 EXS, with all loft options available in both right and left-handed.

RadSpeed: Women’s options

It’s important to note Cobra offers the ability to custom order any of its hybrid offerings with lighter women’s specific shafts, but from a stock perspective, Cobra is offering an elderberry color option in the 4-7 hybrids with an exclusive UST Recoil EXS women’s flex shaft.

Price and availability

The new 2021 Cobra RadSpeed hybrids (variable and one-length) are priced at $229 each and will be available starting January 29 at retail and online.

The 2021 Cobra RadSpeed hybrids, 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 their improvements round-to-round.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

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.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
