DT Swiss 440 Disc Rear

Advantages: Light, strong, durable, relatively cheap, looks great
Disadvantages: None

...Awesome rear hub for the money. Made from 1 piece heat treated, forged 6061 aluminium and it runs on smooth, double lip sealed cartridge bearings. The hub has an international 6 bolt mounting. It is fairly light at 385g due to lots of weight saving holes in the flanges, although these do not affect the strength. The hub is fitted with a 3 pawl ratchet and steel freehub ensuring reliability and durability. The finish is either black or silver and has lazer etched graphics so they wont wear off easily, and they look smart. I have used one of these hubs for nearly two years now for street, downhill and commuting. I have never had a single problem with the hub, it has run smooth as silk from the day it was bought and has been used on an almost daily basis in all conditions with no maintenance whatsoever. If built correctly it will produce... Read review

Advantages: Large Clubhead, Huge "Sweet Zone", Very Forgiving, Long
Disadvantages: Make sure you don't buy the "unlimited" version

...I purchased this driver about 18 months ago when it was reasonably new to the market and have being impressed with it ever since. It is attractive to look at and inspires confidence at address with a large clubhead and great design. Cobra have forged a name for themselves in the driver and fairway woods market in recent times and are widely renowned as a great club for length and forgivness: the 440 SZ is no exception. Although it is not the most recent in the Cobra series having being overtaken by newer models such as the "Speed" drivers and the new LD models, the 440 SZ is still a fantastic club and well worth a look at a much lower price than the most recent of additions. The club is available at around £100 and can be found for around £60/£70 on eBay having originally retailed at £249. Without a doubt the most outstanding... Read review
