Cobra X2

MAXX Cobra X2 Badminton Racket

The MAXX Cobra X2 is a 4U badminton racket designed for players looking for a combination of power, control and manoeuvrability. With an 83 g ±2 g weight and a 300 mm ±2 mm balance point, the racket has a head-heavy profile that provides additional weight towards the head while retaining the manageable feel of a 4U racket.

The Cobra X2 features a medium flex, with a flex rating of 8.7 ±0.2. This gives the shaft a balance between flexibility and responsiveness, making the racket suitable for a range of playing styles and allowing players to generate power while maintaining control.

With a recommended string tension of 28–35 lbs, the Cobra X2 offers a high-tension setup for players who prefer a firmer string bed. The racket comes in a G5 grip size and is built for players who want a combination of head weight and a relatively light overall racket weight.

The 4U construction makes the Cobra X2 easier to manoeuvre than a heavier 3U racket, while the 300 mm balance point provides additional support for attacking shots. This combination can also be useful for players who regularly move between powerful rear-court shots and quicker exchanges around the court.

For players looking for a MAXX racket with a head-heavy balance, medium flex and high string-tension capability, the Cobra X2 provides a versatile option with a lightweight 4U specification and a solid balance between power and control.
