Long Tom Driver

So a little story about this driver. So my Father who is 6’4” and myself (only 5’10”) go to Dicks becuase I want to look at some new drivers. Really I was looking at other companies but ended up walking out with an AMP, sweet club. Anyway back to my dad, becuase he is so tall other than the custom fit iron I got for him he has to settle for off the rack stuff that is usually to short. He says a 46” driver feels about an inch to short and is “almost” comfortable. So he pick up the Long Tom and the word out of his mouth were “great another killer bee”. The sales guy told him to hit a few. So he did after about 7hits my dad turned around and told the guy to get the head cover.
This club for him is nuts, I mean he hit it good before 290ish+, but now he is passing me. I have hit it a few times and it is good for me. If your tall enough that the standard length on drivers seem just a little off on the short side, try this out it is a monster.
My dad fluctuates between 10-15hdcp and I am right on 10.
Hope this helps tall people.

This is one great club. I purchased this about 3 Weeks ago at Pro Golf Southgate, in Michigan. More for fun than anything else. Hit more 275 to 300 yard drives in 3 weeks in cold and very hot (Arizona) weather. More for wide open courses. If you don’t like the grip replace it with the Golf Pride Tour 25 Lightweight—specs on the club will remain the same. It sure is fun for a 60 year old to hit them that long. Added a average of 15 yards carry!

I tried the Long Tom out at Emerald Greens Golf Course in Hastings, Minnesota as part of Demo Days sponsered by Ken Gorg Golf Shop.  I was very impressed.  The driver felt great at setup.  I hit at least a dozen drives 290+ The all black look is fantastic.  I recommend anyone looking for a driver this year to please evaluate Long Tom.  You will not be disappointed!

I picked up a Long Tom after a day at the Golf and Ski Hudson, NH demo days. I went looking for a driver to replace my Titleist 905R and walked away with a Long Tom in hand.  I was a long hitter to begin with, but the thought of adding 20+ yards to my drives for scrambles and fun rounds with buddies was too much to pass up.

After playing 36 holes with the Long Tom, I’ve have actually increased my fairways hit as I’ve managed to reign in my swing with the knowledge that the club was going to do most of the work.  With what feels like a shorter backswing to get to the right position at the top, I have been able to unleash the Long Tom and over those 36 holes, I’ve racked up half a dozen drives IN the fairway over 310 yards, with the longest at 340.

I don’t feel like I can play the controlled draw or fade that I could create with the 905R, so the Long Tom isn’t a fine tipped paint brush like the Titleist, but it isn’t as inaccurate as one might expect.  This driver is a game changer and has put a huge smile on my face.  Nice work Cobra!

I have a had a Long Tom for about a month and I usually like to switch between 3 different drivers.  After playing a few rounds with the Long Tom, I have sold my Taylor Made 2.0 and Ping K15 on ebay!!!  The Long Tom is “life changing” for me!!!  It is solid as a rock and the length of the shaft makes for speed and distance that I have never had.  The sound is crisp and the ball flight is strong.  I am 54 years old and I am killing the 8* stiff. I hope the guys I play with don’t get one because I have a true advantage over them whenever we play.  THANK YOU COBRA!!!!!  Jim

iam not getting good results with this driver! the grafalloy shaft is no good. i have broken two of the in three months. may try the amp driver.

Hi arcfd,

We’re sorry to hear you are having trouble with the Long Tom. Our Customer Care team received your other email and they are working on your case. They will get back to you shortly.

the best and the longest drive of my life!!! straight and longest distance…. easy to use as well… I was a bit skeptical about the 48 inch shaft but apparently easy to control…

Right now I swing a Callaway HyperX 8.5 Stiff. I get about 115-117mph and a ball speed of low 150’s mph.
I took a few swings with this club at my local Golfsmith. The Employee there was trying trying to sound knowledgable, but he didn’t offer me what I needed.  I hit the Long Tom and got an increase to 135mph and a ball speed of 180mph. Wow! it was impressive, but my spins were all over the map, I was hooking and slicing, but mostly ballooning it. I didn’t realize til later that I was swing a 10.5. Unreal! I would think that the guy would have notice when I was balloning it. However, he plugged my best numbers in with a proper launch degree (one that my Callaway give me) and my distance went up to 380yds in the simulator.
I am skeptical that I can reign in this bad boy, or that I could acheive these true distances. I hope that I can find and test an 8 degree Long Tom in the future. I think there is going to be a Cobra Demo at my golfsmith in Santa Clara, CA soon

Long Tom rocks! This is really lightest golf club covering long distance to the flag. Thanks Long Tom!

I’ve played around 20 rounds with this driver. I’ve gained 10 mph club head speed and 30 yards in distance. Was hitting around 250 yards now I’m 280 yards and someimes more. And this is in cold weather, 50 degress and less. Can’t wait for warm weather. This is the straightest driver I’ve ever hit. And I own them all. I have a two Cobra drivers, two Callaway RZR, one Taylor R11, Ping G15, Cleveland and a Taylor burner. All these clubs are a year old or less. None of them hit as well as the Long Tom. My only complaint is I can not find the Winn Ultra Lite Shorty on the market any where. And I’ve had no luck with any Cobra dealer on this grip

I went from hitting 280 to 315. Enough said!!! Cobra is going to prove doubters wrong season after season. Rock on!!!

I have now taken my club out to a Real Course- Pine Knot dorchester Ontario Canada, on a balmy 2deg C or 36F. Before going to the course I had played three rounds on the computer simulator, which during warm up time does the whole launch monitor thing, so I’m familiar with my specs. My previous driver was a R11 9deg stiff. A good round came up with an average drive distance around 260yds at 104mph average. During practice sessions with the Long Tom suddenly things starting changing. Now when warmed up 110mph is NOT unusual. Distance averages indoors for three rounds have been 280, 285, and 287 yards, on the simulator its been a mild draw. I’m now having to re-think were all my targets are when we’re playing PEBBLE (indoors) as I have been running out of fairway. . . a nice problem to have. ON THE REAL COURSE under above conditions, the club for me is a shockingly consistant fade of about 1/3 of a fairway, which took me two holes to figure out. After this the FUN BEGAN. After the brief learning curve I missed only 3 fairways, however hadn’t gone into the next fairway over. Distance was shocking also, I got too places on those (my own) fairways that I hadn’t been to in July, excepting one fairway. The biggest surprise came when I hit two very distinct toe hits, I thought-  here we go, chiquita right, both drives were blind over the hills, and when I came up, the first was still 3 feet inside the right edge of the fairway, the second, three feet into the first cut of rough and both DEEP, FORGIVENESS TAKEN TO A NEW PLACE R-11 will never know about. Lots of friends have tried Long Tom, some love, some can absolutely not swing, it is an acquired taste, my 10 Deg stiff, took some practice to get use to the long shaft, but the rewards have been significant, It has put FUN back into the game, the biggest pleasure, is sometimes after the round is over when we swing for the fences on the launch monitor until exhausted, I didn’t think this 54 year old body had 114, or 115mph swings in it, but Long Tom has proven otherwise, the shaft, club head, and grip combo are superb, and are just waiting for that grip it and rip-it swing… GOOD WORK COBRA JOB WELL DONE < have a nice life R11- in the used bin… ROB… Canada

I’m basing this review on first impressions and have not taken the club out on the course yet. I’m going out tomorrow to play. If anything dramatically changes I’ll update this review. But, I hit a handful of shots at the golf shop and the feedback from the monitor and personal feedback was good. It only took a handful of shots before I felt comfortable. I went to the driving range and from the first swing was hitting solid shots with a much narrower range from left to right. A good sign. With my current driver I feel like I have to be very careful to avoid hitting wild shots, but I felt I could let it rip and still hit good shots. I did hit a few shots that I could tell weren’t square hits, but still got pretty good results. I did hit the ball about 15 yards longer than usual. I’ll see tomorrow how it translates to the course. I hope Cobra comes out with fairway woods that match with the Long Tom driver.

Love the club and pre-ordered it but the club isn’t available contrary to what Cobra has posted below.  I ordered the club from Golfclubs.com and they now tell me it will be mid to late November before they will get it.  What’s the hold up on the release of the club.  No one in SC has it yet either, and it doesn’t even show up yet on sites like Dicks or Edwin Watts Golf.  What gives?  What is the true release date of the club.  Just anxious to get it!  Thanks.

Sorry for the confusion. The in-store date for Long Tom is 11-11. Until that date, you can pre-order the driver (as it sounds like you did) but delivery will not be until 11-11 at the earliest. Although several major retailers are currently advertising it on their websites, some are still playing catch-up and will have it posted shortly.

I tryed one today and will take off work tomorrow to test it all day at the golf corse we have two tee times I toke it to a driving range today and..It was not good AT FRIST..Then I got to know the club and what it wanted WOW I picked up 25 yds on the fly..I have cash can i get one now..please

I tried out this club at a demo day in Charleston, SC and WOW,what a club.  This is the lighest golf club I’ve ever personally had in my hands to use.  The feel was great, and I got far greater distance out of this driver than with any driver I’ve hit with over the past 20 years.  I wish this driver had been available for sale yesterday. I would have purchased it on the spot and certainly plan on doing so as soon as I am able to purchase it locally!  I live in Columbia, SC and cannot wait to buy this club so I can start wowing my friends with drives off the tee!!!
