We’ve been keeping this secret for a while now but finally we can talk about Cobra’s brand spanking new 2020 range which will be headlined by the Cobra King Speedzone driver, fairway woods and irons.
First impressions
We were in Miami for the global launch of the Cobra King SpeedZone range which was hosted at the Palm Beach International Raceway – if you need any more clues to the influence behind these clubs.
As eye catching as ever, the range takes inspiration from Formula 1 cars, with aerodynamics a key aspect. Like a racing car, every component from the internal chassis is designed to the exterior shaping and engineered to maximise power output.

The big news here is that the CNC infinity milled face, which is designed to generate maximum ball speed, has been increased by 95% compared to the F9 Speedback from last year. This is designed to give you more control with off-centre strikes as well as maximising the potential of the sweet spot. Cobra said in testing they found it to be five times more precise than the Speedback.
Cobra are also offering the SpeedZone Xtreme driver which features a slightly larger shape profile with more perimeter weighting and a 17-gram tungsten weight that sits behind the rear exhaust pipe design to achieve the company’s highest measured MOI to date.
Here’s Jose Miraflor, Cobra’s vice president of marketing, to talk us through the new drivers…
Cobra King Speedzone fairway woods and hybrids
Again the SpeedZone fairway woods feature a CNC milled face, though it remains central. The news here is an improved split rail structure featuring hollow rails which flex more to create a 70% larger hot spot promoting higher launch and more ball speed.
