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.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
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.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
