First impressions of the Cobra F6/F6+ Drivers
[content_block slug=”cobra-f6-driver-review”]
The launch of the new F6 and F6+ drivers comes hot on on the heels of the release of the King LTD driver and gives Cobra a very impressive line-up for 2016.

They’ve also got the new Max range for high handicappers as well so really have got all bases covered.

The F6 drivers come with very smart head-covers, which you may not think important, but I feel when you are paying £250-£300 for a driver it should look the business in and out of the bag.
The F6 and F6+ are essentially replacing the Fly-Z and Fly-Z+ from last year and while they have similar technologies – things have definitely moved forwards (or backwards, or left in the middle).
The Tech
Starting with the F6+ driver, we have a very large moveable weight on the sole. This can be moved into one of five different positions.
Move it forwards for a more penetrating flight with less spin, move it back for more forgiveness and a higher ball flight.
Whichever way you have it, the centre of gravity remains incredibly low. The club itself is very light so more weight can be postponed in the sole.
A key technology here is the fact the weight track system is made of carbon fibre opposed to titanium therefore it is lighter. This means the moveable weight itself can be heavier (18g) than most moveable weights you will find on other drivers on the market.
This means moving the weight has more of an impact on the ball flight.
On the F6 driver there are two weights (10g and 3g) which can be moved to have the heavier weight at the front or the back.
