Sorry for the long question.

Last year I purchased a new Cobra Speedzone King SZ, 7 wood directly from Cobra. The club came with a Cobra proprietary Mitsubishi Tensei AV Series 65, R flex shaft. Should I re-shaft the club or keep the existing shaft and add a shaft extension?

I got fitted for woods and irons several years ago. The fitting went well. Currently I play a Mitsubishi C6, 50 Series shaft in my D, and Mitsubishi C6, 60 Series shafts in the 3W & 5W.

Is the Mitsubishi Tensei AV Series 65, R flex shaft that is in the 7W a close match to the Mitsubishi C6, 60 Series shafts in my 3W & 5W?

I hit the 7W well, with a slight draw. However, I have to play the ball further back in the stance in order to get consistent contact. I hit my 3W & 5W mostly straight.

The 7W is a little short for me so do I re-shaft or add a shaft extension.

Try swapping shafts with your 5w if it’s a cobra adjustable head. That might give you an idea if it’s shaft or length issue.
Regardless, a couple bucks for an extension and a grip is the way I would go if the shaft performs fine.

You can go either way. Some do not like to extend, but we do it all the time and when done properly there are no concerns or reasons not to. Personally I do not like to extend more than 1″ with graphite, but some will say 1.5″ is OK. Definitely less expensive way to go than a new shaft and in a #7 wood extending would be as good an option as re-shafting, in my opinion.
