What’s new? How much does it cost? And how does it perform? Hannah Holden brings you the low down on the new Cobra Aerojet hybrid
How does Cobra’s new premium players hybrid perform? Find out in our Cobra King Tec hybrid review.
The adjustability of this hybrid is insane. With 3 moveable weights on the sole and the capability to move the loft 1.5 degrees up or down, players are going to be able to really fine-tune their flight.
Cobra have made a number of subtle appearance upgrades on the King Tec hybrid that definitely give it more of a player’s feel; low handicappers are going to love it.
The Cobra King Tec may just convert a lot of long-iron lovers that life can be easier with the right hybrid.
PROS
CONS
Behind the ball, the Cobra King Tec hybrid looks amazing. Cobra have refined the appearance of their players’ hybrid so that when you stand over it, you feel like you will have ultimate command of your flight and not suffer from the pop-up left shots that ‘regular’ hybrids can produce. So far, Cobra have done everything they need to convince me, as a non-hybrid user, that this is worth further consideration.
I do not use a hybrid. I’ve not used a hybrid, probably since I was 13 or 14 and whilst I do see the benefits of having one in the bag for the majority of players, I personally love the way a well-struck 3 iron feels, and a lot of hybrids just feel out of control to me.
Because of this, I feel like I am the best person to test a player’s hybrid, as I know exactly what I/other ‘good’ players are looking for out of one.
It’s worth repeating again how good this hybrid looks. Cobra have made some big appearance changes from the previous player’s hybrid, including reducing onset, squaring off the leading edge, and making the face slightly shorter from heel to toe. Combining this with the matte black carbon crown, it looks stunning and powerful.
Straight away, the Cobra King Tec has a different feel than most hybrids. It feels heavy and like there is a lot of mass behind the face on impact. This produces strikes that feel really strong despite not always being quality hits.
This could be down to the crown of the King Tec only weighing 4g which has allowed them to move the CoG lower, or the new PWRSHELL face with H.O.T FACE design.
