All white on the night – Limited Edition Cobra White S3 driver
by Dominic Pedler
June 2011

Ian Poulter fuelled the craze for white drivers when taking the Hong Kong Open title with the flashy Cobra ZL driver whose Limited Edition commercial run sold out in two hours. While rivals such as TaylorMade and MD Golf have also joined the bandwagon, Cobra Golf now return with an all-white version of the S3 Driver, the 2011 flagship big stick that’s already available in black.

Beneath the eye-catching exterior, the White S3 is loaded with the same serious features including the E9 face technology that refers to the large, elliptical-shaped sweetspot that reflects how most golfers hit the ball in a pattern ranging from low heel to high toe.

The club also boasts Adjustable Flight Technology in the form of three simple face-angle settings (Open, Neutral and Closed) which allow golfers to dial-in their optimal ball flight for maximum distance and accuracy.

Rounding off the package is the new all-white Aldila RIP Beta shaft which we discuss in more detail here. The Cobra White S3 Driver is also a Limited Edition (though in rather larger quantities than the ZL) and comes in lofts of 9.5° and 10.5°, along with a Golf Pride Tour Wrap 2G grip, headcover and torque wrench pouch (all in white, of course). Guide: £299;
