Cobra launch King F6+ driver with carbon fibre weight track
Cobra Golf have launched the new F6+ driver and F6 family of driver, fairways and hybrids.
The new all-ability F6+ driver, which replaces the Fly-Z+, features an all new adjustable weight system with five positions offering different ball flights.
The system is encased in a carbon fibre shell as opposed to the heavier, titanium track structure that was used in the Fly-Z+ driver.
Weight-savings made through the use of a carbon fibre crown, a new titanium body and forged face, allowed Cobra to utilise an 18-gram weight on the sole which keeps the centre of gravity low.
Moving the weight back or forwards can fine-tune the ball flight from high to low, personalise spin characteristics or increase forgiveness.
The F6+ driver also features Forged E9 Zone Face technology whichremoves weight from key areas behind the face and in the hosel to increase the size and speed of the sweet spot for more distance on off-center hits.
Cobra’s Speed Channel technology – an engineered trench around the perimeter of the face and toe area – helps deliver faster ball speeds for more distance.
The King F6 driver – replacing the Fly-Z model and aimed more at the mid-high handicappers – features a dual position front-to-back weight system with 10 and 3-gram flip weights.
This offers distance and extreme forgiveness, faster ball speeds, lower spin and optimal launch angles.
With the heavier weight in the front CG position you’ll see a penetrating ball flight with less spin that delivers more roll for maximum distance; while the back CG weight position delivers a towering 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 also includes three adjustable fairway woods (3-4F, 5-6F and 7-8F) also with adjustable front-to-back weighting. Each fairway, like the F6 driver, features two CG positions and 20-gram and 3-gram moveable weights.
Rounding off the set, the King F6 Hybrids (2-3H, 3-4H and 4-5H) feature a fixed 13-gram back CG weight to deliver high MOI and a more centered centre of gravity for both forgiveness and precision.
