We first found out about the new Speedzone range back in December but now we’ve got our hands on them and have put them through their paces. Watch the review with instruction editor Andrew Wright and me here, and let us know what you think in the comments below or on Twitter.

Cobra King Speedzone driver: The Technology
The biggest headline is the CNC milled face, which is designed to generate maximum ball speed, and has been increased by 95% compared to the F9 Speedback from last year. The new infinity face 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 driver: The Results
The first thing I noticed over the ball is the new infinity face, which pools round onto the top of the clubhead. The contrast of colours can make the clubhead look a bit busy but it also frames the face – acting as a really good alignment aid at set-up. I would also say the club sits slightly more open than other drivers on the market, which suits my eye as I generally tend to miss it left. The two models are very similar in styling, but the Xtreme model is slightly larger – especially at the rear of the clubhead.
