Recent R&D efforts have zeroed in on beefing up ball speed retention around the sweet spot, and thanks to the precision of Golf Laboratories’ swing robot, we’re able to see which drivers are actually walking the walk.
The new Baffler iron set from Cobra combines five different clubhead designs in an effort to elevate trajectory and increase forgiveness in specific ways throughout the bag for beginning golfers and those looking at the super game-improvement category.
We receive a lot of questions about the latest gear in the marketplace. Most of them centre around one specific question: “Should I switch out my current gamer for a [fill in the blank] driver?”
The Cobra King Tec, a compact players hybrid updated from the 2023 model, pushes an invigorated emphasis on adjustability with a 33-way hosel that can dial in ball-flight preferences high, low, left and right, along with moveable sole weights.
Cobra’s latest King line of wedges uses a metal-injection moulding process that produces tighter manufacturing tolerances, reducing the need for hand polishing that can lead to inconsistencies from club to club.
The irons are completely 3D-printed, allowing for a level of precision and intricacy, according to the company, not available in clubs that are forged or cast.
With eight models in each line, the putters all feature faces with LA Golf’s descending loft technology, where the loft changes from four degrees at the top of the face to one degree at the bottom of the face to ensure the same ideal launch angle for consistent forward roll.
The Cobra Darkspeed fairway woods and hybrids use an L-shaped face that wraps around the front of the sole combined with an internal weight bar that’s suspended like a bridge low and forward in the head to create the ideal blend of high launch and low spin with more speed all across the face.
Cobra seeks to build on its Aerojet irons with its follow-up, the Darkspeed. More than just a modest tweak, the Darkspeed makes meaningful moves forward with a new hollow-body construction that is filled with a lightweight foam.
Cobra debuts the latest version of its Air-X line of clubs, including drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons designed with lighter weights to appeal to more moderate swing speeds.
