Just hit the new Cobra King Drivers and Irons
Posted this on GolfWRX, just wanted to share with you guys.
I just got back from a Cobra demo day and thought I'd share a little feedback. I hit three different types of driver heads in multiple different shafts. I currently play a Callaway X2 Hot Pro at 8.5* with an Aldila Tour Green shaft. All three of the Cobra heads were much more forgiving than my current driver. I found this surprising, because with the same swing the M1 was a slice machine.
- First head had a flip weight, very similar to the Fly-Z+. I played this one at 9*. With the weight in the back, it launched higher and carried shorter than I typically expect. I didn't get to try with the weight forward.
- Second head had a track weight going from front to back. I hit with the weight near the middle of the track. Still launched a little higher than I need. Very straight drives, surprisingly so.
- Third head was the LTD with the space port. At 9* , the best shaft I tried was the Aldila Tour Blue. Ball speed was between 154-159mph, launch angle 14* -16* , 250-266 carry on straight shots, 2800-3400rpm. My straightest drive had 0.0* spin axis (I didn't even know this was possible?!) and 266 carry.
Nov 01, 2016 Cobra says that the F7 shape is larger at address with a 5% bigger face than the King F6 and also bigger than the King LTD. Cobra King F7+ Driver Review. However if Space Ports aren't for you then there is also the King F7+ model that is aimed at higher.
The drivers were excellent, but the best part for me was the King Pro irons. Let me start this by saying that I am NOT a good golfer, and this is the first time I ever hit a blade. I hit the 8 iron and 5 iron with the KBS C-taper shaft. After hitting these, I almost don't understand how I got along with GI clubs. Those were by far the best feeling and looking shots I have ever hit with irons. Everything felt right about these clubs.
EDIT: First driver head was the F6, second was the F6+.
