J.B. Holmes's new driver and PGA Championship clubs
J.B Holmes has a new toy. The Kentucky native switched to a new driver just before the PGA Championship, a Cobra L4V X, which is intended for players with extremely high swing speeds. (Um, I think J.B. qualifies.)
For players who really pack a wallop, the LV4 X is designed to create a high-launch, low-spin drive that maximizes distance. The face has no bias, so skilled players should be able to work the ball with either a draw or a fade.
According to Cobra's Web site, these are the clubs that J.B. has in his bag at Oakland Hills:
Driver Cobra L4V X (8 °) with an Aldilla Voodoo XVS8 shaft
Fairway Cobra Speed LD-X Pro (13°, 18°)
Irons Cobra Pro CB (3-PW)
Wedges Titleist Vokey Design Spin Milled (54°, 60°)
Putter Rife Barbados belly
Ball Titleist Pro V1x
