Homepage review is up now and can be found here: http://www.thehackersparadise.com/cobra-king-f6-baffler-fairway-wood-review/
In to the Oklahoma outpost of THP is one that has gotten quite a bit of chatter since seeing Rickie Fowler putting it into play and learning of its developmental process, the Cobra KING F6 Baffler.
From the Frankenstein like initial testing where Cobra actually welded rails onto the Bio Cell+ fairway wood, to this fully developed design which in the opinion of this reviewer returns the Baffler name to the type of club that is should be on. This one is quite frankly, pretty wicked in hand.
By design this is a 4-5 wood with MyFly adjustability from 16° to 19° and it is a shorter than usual 41.75". The head is a very small footprint compared to what we are seeing out of fairway woods right now, and a such the face is more narrow overall. The eyes are clearly going to go to the T-Rails on the sole which aid the club going through a variety of conditions while minimizing impact with the turf and also helping to square the clubface at impact. The F6 portion of the name comes with Cobra utilizing the same type weighting system as the driver with two weights (15g and 3g) that can be adjusted to tailor ball flight to the user, heavy forward means more penetrating and heavy back intends to aid launch and a soft landing.
The head is paired with the Matrix 65Q4 Red-Tie which is a mid-launch shaft, while I know some will quickly point to the weight, it should be kept in mind this is a VERY common fairway wood weight. Also, this is a RH only release at this time.
Out of curiosity, I have already weighed the weights and head of the KING F6 Baffler and the heavy weight came out at 15g, the lighter one at 3g, and the head itself 208g with no weights installed.
Price on this one will be $240 and release date of 5/1/2016.
More specification info will be added as THP gets it.
