COBRA launch F6 and F6+ Metals
Cobra Golf have annouced the introducion of two new drivers, both form part of the KING family - a familiar name that made a welcome return late in 2015. The KING F6+ and F6 products utilise innovative research, premium materials, and COBRA’s unique performance enhancing technologies to deliver personalised distance and adjustable center of gravity (CG) adjustability.
KING F6+ Driver
The KING F6+ driver features a golf industry first CarbonTrac weighting system. The system features a sliding weight with five front-to-back, low CG positions that is encased in a carbon fiber shell. The new track replaces the titanium track structure that was used in COBRA's popular Fly-Z+ driver. By creating additional discretionary weight through the use of a carbon fiber crown, new Ti 811 titanium body and forged face, COBRA has been able to utilise an 18-gram weight on the sole of the driver to deliver ultra-low CGs and ball flights.
In addition the F6+ driver features COBRA's Forged E9 Zone Face technology, an internal feature that removes weight from key areas behind the face and in the hosel to increase the size and speed of the Sweet Zone for more distance on off-center hits. There is further technology on show externally with the visible Speed Channel. The CHannel is an engineered trench around the perimeter of the face and toe area, creates additional discretionary weight to minimise face thickness, delivering faster ball speeds.
KING F6+ pricing and specifications
The KING F6+ Driver is available in three stock colors:
- Glass Black with Vibrant Orange accents;
- Blue Aster
- White Pearl
Available in right-handed and left-handed models, in regular, stiff and x-stiff flex, the driver features a graphite Matrix OZIK Black Tie 65g shaft and Lamkin 3GEN Crossline 360 grip. The F6+ driver comes with a range of five lofts – 9°, 9.5°, 10.5°, 11.5°, and 12° and three draw settings – 9.5°D, 10.5°D and 11.5°D,
Additionally, the F6+ is also offered in a Pro model which features the same size head (460cc) as the F6+, but with a lower loft range (7.0°-10°), a flatter lie angle and fade settings instead of draw. All that works to provide more launch control and lower spin for even more penetrating trajectory range. It comes in black only, through custom orders.
RRP - £299

KING F6 Driver
Similar to it's big brother the F6+, the COBRA F6 is all about CG adjustabilty and features a front-to-back CG system with 10-and 3-gram flip weights. This system gives consumers thet ability to dynamically change distance, forgiveness, ball speeds, spin and launch angles.
With the heavier weight in the front CG position golfers will see a penetrating ball flight with less spin that delivers more roll for maximum distance; while the back CG weight position will produce a higher ball flight with added spin to create more carry and increased forgiveness. For an increased range of performance, the light 3-gram weight can be removed all together, offering a third option to maximise CG movement and spin differential.
“The KING F6 family was created to bring the best zonal weighting technologies to golfers of all levels,” said Tom Olsavsky, VP of Research & Development at COBRA Golf. “Through improved material innovation and research we were able to design a stronger, lighter CarbonTrac structure that creates the perfect combination of adjustable low CG and high inertia. Something that is extremely hard to do. Thanks to the R&D team at COBRA Golf, golfers will discover the best in distance, forgiveness and precision in the F6 metalwoods.”
