Purchased one back in May after I tested out a good selection of them at Dick's with the pro. Went in with the intent of buying the new Nike Sumo line, and didn't even know about the Cobra since it came out after The Hot List was put together, but the pro told me to test it out and it was giving me the best results by far. The sound was something I had to initially get used to, but now it just gives me more confidence hearing it, and intimidates my opponents. Never a bad thing!
