What’s new? How much does it cost? And, what are the performance gains? Max McVittie brings you the lowdown on the new Cobra King Tec Mini Driver.

Cobra has finally entered the ever growing mini driver market with the launch of the Cobra King Tec mini driver.

There has been a real shift in what a lot of golfers hit off the tee. Most seem to be prioritising accuracy over distance hence the surge in the number of golfers putting a mini driver in their bags.

Cobra has developed this to meet those exact needs. With a compact head shape and a shorter shaft this is very much meant to be a versatile golf club that offers a tighter dispersion than a traditional driver.

Here’s everything you need to know about Cobra’s King Tec Mini Driver…

Cobra King Tec Mini Driver: The Technology

At the core of the King Tec Mini Driver is Cobra’s Forged Titanium PWRSHELL Face, the same face technology used in Cobra’s top drivers and fairway woods.

It is designed to deliver explosive ball speeds across the club face. This is to help maintain distance levels even when the contact isn’t perfect.

Cobra’s H.O.T. Face uses machine-learning-designed variable thickness patterns to maximise speed across multiple strike locations. Cobra believe the result is more consistent ball speed and distance from common miss areas.

Additionally, Cobra has equipped their mini driver with a multi-layer Carbon Crown. This has allowed them to reposition weight Low in the club head for a higher launch.

The King Tec Mini Driver also features an 811 titanium body. Integrated moveable weighting allows every golfer to fine tune their set up to suit their game. This helps to dial in launch and direction control.

A big part of Cobra’s success with their metal woods last year was their new FutureFit33 hosel system. This made them the most fittable drivers and fairway woods yet.

This mini driver is equipped with this hosel tech. It offers 33 loft, lie, and face-angle combinations.

The King Tec Mini Driver is designed for a broad spectrum of golfers. Better players can use it as a strategic tee option on narrow holes, while mid-handicap golfers can benefit from the improved contact and launch characteristics.

It is also well suited for players who struggle to launch a 3-wood but want more speed and distance than a hybrid can provide.

This doesn’t have to be used as a direct replacement for a driver or any other metal wood you may have in your bag for that matter. It is intended to fill a real performance gap that many golfers experience at the top of the bag.

About the author

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
