Cobra Ladies Golf Clubs Review 2023 – Are They Really That Good?

Cobra Airspeed

Whether you are looking for a set of golf clubs for yourself or shopping sets for the lady golfer in your life, it can be really difficult to find a set of women’s golf clubs that fit the bill perfectly.

Some sets look great but don’t offer the design features needed to take your game to the next level.

But Cobra has become known for their high quality women’s club sets. By and large, they have produced sets that have been well-received by women of all skill levels. But even choosing between sets within the Cobra brand can be a challenge.

So to help you decide which Cobra set is right for you or as a gift for your lady golfer, we have tested a couple of the most recent offerings from Cobra to women golfers. Read on as we compare 2 high quality sets from Cobra.

The Cobra 2019 XL Speed Ladies Golf Club Set

Our first entry is the Cobra 2019 XL Speed set for women. As the name suggests, this set came on the scene last year with the intention of helping beginner to intermediate level players improve their game.

The set includes a driver, 3 fairway woods, a hybrid, 6 through SW irons and a putter. Let’s take a closer look at the clubs in this set.

Driver

The driver looks a bit intimidating at first glance since it is has an oversized shape but it is still very wieldy in the hands. The head is constructed of titanium and it offers a 12.5 degree loft angle. The back/heel weighting makes the driver feel nice, fly true and play exceptionally long.

Woods

With the Cobra 2019 XL Speed golf club set you get three  fairway woods; a 3, 5 and 7. The 3 wood features a 15 degree loft angle, the 5 has a 22 degree loft angle and the 7 is set to 25 degrees. All of the fairway woods feature a shallow profile and rear weighting.

The rear weighting allows for better distance and swing tempo. We found these woods to be very useful if you have a slower swing speed but still want good distance from virtually any lie on the fairway.

Hybrids

The 5 hybrid was a perfect bridge between the woods and long irons. It struck a great balance with its 23 degree loft which made it much easier to hit out of tough lies or over intimidating hazards.

You may not feel super comfortable with your long irons yet and that is perfectly fine when you have a hybrid like this one in your bag.

The lower, rear weighting of the 5 hybrid also allows for more accuracy and ball control. Our better testers found it surprisingly easy to drop and stop the ball on the green with this hybrid.

Irons

The deep undercut of the 6-9 irons that come in the Cobra 2019 XL Speed golf club set makes it very easy to get a high launch angle from the fairway. These irons also feature perimeter weighting which effectively broadens the sweet spot so they are very forgiving.

They are also cavity-backed which adds to their length. Overall we were impressed with the responsiveness of these irons. We were getting great height and more important, it was easier to correct the swing mistakes that most beginners make with these irons.

Wedges

You get a pitching and sand wedge in the Cobra 2019 XL Speed set and, like the irons, they feature a cavity-backed design for increased distance. The low profile of the wedges also make it easier to get under the ball and achieve high launches.

Putter

You get a mallet style putter in the Cobra 2019 XL Speed set which is very easy to align and conducive to many different putting styles.

Club Composition

The set comes outfitted with very nice Lamkin REL 360 black grips and while they are a bit larger than normal, most women will benefit from the added feel and control. The driver head is constructed of titanium and the irons are all stainless steel. The shafts are made of lightweight graphite.

Set Options

You can get this set of clubs in standard and petite sizes. You can choose between Black Mint color schemes (green and black) and pink.

Cobra 2020 Airspeed Ladies Golf Clubs

The Cobra 2020 Airspeed golf club set for women features a driver, 3W, 5W, 7W, 5H, irons 6-SW and a putter.

Driver

The driver in this set was incredibly lightweight and wieldy. Cobra has upgraded their driver head composition with a carbon crown that makes it very light and long. This driver also features a 15 degree loft and an offset head design for more accuracy.

Woods

The 3, 5 and 7 fairway woods are set to 19, 23 and 27 degree lofts respectively. Like the driver, the fairway woods also feature a carbon crown for the purposes of weight and distance. An offset head makes it easier to square the ball and rear weighting makes it easier to get good distance and loft.

Hybrids

The 5 hybrid is set to 26 degrees which makes it a great fill-in between the woods and irons. It also features an offset head with rear weighting which makes it ideal for beginners.

Irons

The perimeter weighting of the 6-SW irons make for larger sweet spots so they are incredibly easy to get to approaches with. The 6 is set to 28 degrees, the 7 is set to 31.5, the 8 is set to 35.5, the 9 is set to 40, the PW is set to 45 and the SW is set to 55.

All the irons are low-profile style which gives them that great drop and stop factor for greens in regulation.

Putter

The Cobra 2020 Airspeed set comes with a mallet putter with a machined face that feels really great off the ball.

Club Composition

All of the club shafts are made of graphite which makes them very lightweight. The driver and woods feature a carbon crown which also keeps the overall weight down while increasing ball speed.

Set Options

The Cobra 2020 Airspeed Women’s golf club set comes in right-hand orientation and ladies flex (graphite shafts).They come in White-Copper and Black-Lilac color schemes.

Alternatives

Callaway Strata Womens Golf Club Set

Some other sets to consider are the Callaway Women’s Strata set and the Wilson Women’s Ultra Set. The Wilson set was made for distance. The irons are all cavity-backed and the driver features an oversized head which plays longer off the tee.

The Callaway Strata set is incredibly comprehensive; it even has a 2 wood! There are 14 clubs included in this set for women which features a titanium milled 460CC, 10.5 degree driver and stainless steel irons.

Final Assessment

We think the Cobra 2020 Airspeed set is indicative of the latest and greatest innovations in women’s golf clubs. Of the 2020 Airspeed and the 2019 Speed XL, we think the Airspeed set is the better buy. Mainly because at just $100 more, you get so many advanced features like carbon crowning and offset heads.

The Cobra 2019 Speed Xl is still a solid buy for beginner/intermediate women players, but the Airspeed set is just a step above. It’s our pick so check it out!
