Does anybody know if this club is legal or not? I remember the S'S 460 was because of the COR was .83. On the SZ it just says Hi COR.

I had the legal version of this driver briefly (didn't get on with it). There were a conforming and non conforming version of the SZ440. The non-conforming version was called SZ440 Unlimited. I reckon if your one says hi-cor on it it's probably the 'UNLIMITED' non-conforming version! Practice only!

Conforming one will have .830 stamped. Non-Conforming will have Hi Cor. That's certainly the case with my (year earlier?) SZ 414 and was pretty consistent across the Cobra range during that period.
Several folk think the 440 was THE iconic Cobra!

Yip Nick, it's the non-conforming model. I had the conforming model and it was a beast, what a noise came off it too

Yip, non-conforming I had to replace mine when they decided it was illegal to use in official comps , absolute scandal.
Can you imagine if you had bought a brand new car , then 2 years later told you weren't allowed to drive it on certain roads.

That noise from old cobra drivers was enough to put me off them for life. Irons wedges etc fine. I won't be going near their woods.

The 440 was one of their quieter ones too! Earlier models had vile sounds, the F and M-Speeds were 'distinctive'. But the worst, imo, was the L4V (I have a head hiding under a couch). Came from a mate whose club (Fairhaven) had banned Nike and Cobra Drivers from the range because of complaints from (very near) neighbours.
The 414 Tour I have was/is pretty subdued - composite top!

Yes. I still play that club. Hi cor illegal.
Pre dates the rules pga allowed that.830.
The rule now is less than. 830 core weight. So .829999999999 is okay.
They allowed that because it was made before the rules. The Hi cor version was declared illegal.
