Cobra King F9 delivers the ultimate formula for speed

According to Cobra Golf’s research the four primary factors golfers look for are distance first, followed by accuracy and then forgiveness followed closely by price. Their R&D team lead by vice president Tom Olsavsky felt they needed to apply next-level thinking to the problem and the result was the KING F9 Speedback driver and an entirely new club family. Each family member and especially the driver, stress aerodynamic efficiency paired with a low center of gravity, something that is very hard to do.

The primary reason is a truly “slippery” shape with a minimum of aerodynamic drag usually requires the driver crown to be rounded making a relatively high profile. This raises the CG (center of gravity) and hurts distance by decreasing the effective loft at impact plus makes for increased ball spin. Also, to complete this physics lesson, two other facts need to be taken into account. A driver’s face is thicker and heavier than the other parts of the clubhead plus the hosel, which also has substantial weight, is forward and even with the face. Both tend to move the CG forward and higher exactly opposite of back and lower.
