Equipment: Cobra introduce fully progressive F6 iron set
Cobra Golf have introduced the F6 irons – a fully progressive set with different technologies in each of the long-irons, mid-irons, short-irons and wedges.
The F6 irons have been individually optimised in a bid to give golfers distance, control, forgiveness and a soft feel on every shot.
Featuring Cobra’s new TECFLO system (Technology Enhanced Cavity Feel Launch Optimisation) the F6 iron set is engineered with four different iron constructions.
Long irons (3-iron – 5-iron) are comprised of a full hollow construction, mid irons (6–iron and 7-iron) are half hollow construction and the short irons (8—iron – PW) feature a deep undercut cavity-back design.
The wedges feature a specialty muscle back shape and tour contoured sole.
“In designing the KING F6 irons, we are answering the different needs of golfers. You shouldn’t have to choose between distance, forgiveness, feel or accuracy…you can have it all,” said Jose Miraflor, director of product marketing at COBRA Golf.
“We are providing long irons that fly high, long and straight; mid-irons for consistency and accuracy; short irons provide trajectory and spin control that helps you hit it closer to the pin; and specialty wedges for versatility around the green.”
The irons feature a low centre of gravity with up to 10grams of weight removed from above the hitting zone.
While on the wedges, engineers were able to raise the CG to help control trajectories.
The F6 irons also use a Speed Channel strategically positioned on the sole near the leading edge of the clubface, to deliver more ball speed and increase launch angles.
