Review Summary: Okay where do I begin? It all started with my stupid quest to find that perfect driver which started originally in 2004. In a nutshell I concluded that the King Cobra 440SZ (forgiving/great distance) was #1 then second came the unknown darkhorse of the Cleveland Sport O/S (easy to hit/great launch action). Then comes 2005 and for some reason I opted to try an older model King Cobra 427SS which seemed to mimic the 440SZ to me. Now here comes 2006 and we all get itchy for some reason when the new stuff comes out each and every year and I now write my recent voyage in the sea of drivers. I traded my beloved 427 for a used Mizuno MP-001 (hard to get any kind of feedback/horrible launch action) and have to say I made a big mistake. So I then traded that driver for an older Callaway VFT (outdated technology/spoiled with modern stuff) and yes another bad decision on my part. Then I traded that guy for a yep you guessed it another King Cobra 440SZ but wasn't too convinced at the driving range but afterall it has been a year since I hit my all time favorite so I went back to the familiar golf shop to trade that in for a Ping G2 (mind you all of these drivers are used with a 7 day return policy which isn't all that bad if you really think about it). Now I like the overall feel of the set up with the G2 and the feel of the absorbtion of the ball to face, however she was inconsistent so yes I traded her in on the latest Callaway X460 9.5 Tour which was not to my liking. It was hard to get any kind of launch whatsoever. So with all that mess in just 7 days of frustration meaning the back and forth driving to the golf shop(s) AND not to mention the driving range journeys of disappointments, you all know what I am talking about (walking ever so fast to that dumb ball dispenser while holding that shiny new toy in the other hand feeling like a 9 year old kid. Then of course only to be let down AGAIN. Finding out that the wannabe holy grail was only a holy FAIL!. So guess what I do now? Yep go back to the original golf shop that I traded my King Cobra 427SS with conviction and pursue to buy that gem for $75 bucks, who cares if that guy who works there thinks that I am nuts, I don't care anymore of finding that perfect driver, I just want my old driver back (the one that had become my best friend for about a year now. Then behold right next to it is again my other all time champ (King Cobra 440SZ) so decisions decisions. And wala underneath that rack was the King Cobra 454 COMP which I tried a year ago and was not impressed one bit (not even close to distance as my 427SS and 440 SZ). Then next to that was yes the King Cobra 460 FSpeed which looked almost brand new ($225). I never really looked into these so I held one and really felt comfortable with the weight and feel (shaft was the Aldila NV 55 Regular Flex shaft). The grip was a tad smaller than most but felt okay. I addressed all 3 Cobras and just went with a gut feeling on the 460 FSpeed. I know it was a gamble because afterall these other 2 Cobras (427SS and 440SZ) were proven to work over and over in my short golf life. So I took a chance and bought it, went to driving range twice today and overall I think this one has a slight advantage meaning less fading/slicing due to it's stock closed 3 degree face, larger sweet spot (460cc), a tad further at the range and perfect shaft combo (weighting feels perfect). I can't wait to try her on the real battleground.
