Cobra Golf®, a leader in golf club innovation, today introduced the 2020 KING SPEEDZONE family of clubs, including Fairways & Hybrids. COBRA Golf engineers optimized specific zones throughout the club’s construction that work to deliver the best combination of power, speed and distance.

For 2020, COBRA is offering golfers the choice of three new fairway woods designed to suit a wide variety of golfers. The first, the KING SPEEDZONE Fairway ($279), is a more traditional model, designed with back weighting and a slightly shallower face for easy launch, higher trajectories and maximum forgiveness that yields increased distance. The second, the KING SPEEDZONE Tour Fairway ($279), features a compact shape, with forward CG weighting, designed for better players that desire low spin, a more piercing trajectory and workability. The third fairway offering is the SPEEDZONE Big Tour Fairway ($279) which features the largest profile of the three, stronger loft, forward CG weighting, and near zero CGna, that produces the optimal combination of fast ball speed, high launch and low spin for extreme distance. All three fairway options feature COBRA CONNECT Powered by Arccos which allows golfers to track the accuracy and distance of every shot using the Arccos Caddie app on their smart device.

Throughout the three KING SPEEDZONE fairway offerings, COBRA engineers focused on optimizing four key “zones” in order to deliver more distance, forgiveness and accuracy than ever before.

ZONE 1 – THE POWER ZONE - the only forged CNC Milled Face in a fairway wood, created using industry-leading face manufacturing technology, allows for a thinner and hotter face design that is up to five times more precise than traditional hand polishing. This allows COBRA’s R&D team to repeatedly, and consistently, expand the zone for maximum ball speed.

ZONE 2 – THE FLEX ZONE – The new split rail structure divides the rail system into a front and rear portion. The front rails, silver in color, have been hollowed out to create thinner walls that flex with impact while still providing Baffler Rail technology to prevent the leading edge of the fairway from digging. The result is more flection for ball speed and higher launch, and a leading edge that glides through the turf delivering more club head speed through impact.

ZONE 3 – THE STABILITY ZONE – Dual Baffler Rails provide excellent stability and speed through the turf, allowing the club to glide effortlessly out of any lie and deliver more club and ball speed at impact.

ZONE 4 – THE LIGHT ZONE – An ultralight carbon fiber crown saves 10 grams of discretionary weight that is strategically positioned to lower the CG for higher launch with increased forgiveness.

Rounding out the high-performance design, MyFly with SmartRail™ technology affords golfers their choice of five (5) loft settings and three (3) draw settings to help manage trajectory and customize launch conditions while Smart Rail™ keeps the face square regardless of the loft setting.

Providing the perfect complement to the SPEEDZONE fairway woods, COBRA is also unveiling its new KING SPEEDZONE Hybrids, available in Variable or ONE Length designs. Again, engineers optimized specific zones of the construction to engineer the highest level of performance in a hybrid. The performance can be attributed to the following key technologies:

Screen Shot 2019-11-19 at 6.06.02 AM.png


Hollow Split Rail Technology – allows for more flex than solid rails, creating a larger hot spot for higher launch and increased distance.
Back Weighting – weight concentrated low and back creates higher launch, more spin, towering trajectories and maximum carry.
Forged E9 Face- A forged, two-piece construction features a high-strength 455 stainless steel that can be designed thinner for increased ball speed.
Refined Shape – slightly larger than a traditional hybrid, the shape features a high MOI for increased forgiveness on off-center hits, and a square leading edge to improve alignment and accuracy.
COBRA Connect – Track your accuracy and distance and overall performance using the Arccos Caddie app on your smart device.

The KING SPEEDZONE men’s Hybrids (MAP $229) are available in 2H (17O), 3H (19 O), 4H (21 O) & 5h (24 O) of loft and come standard with a aftermarket UST Recoil 480 ESX shaft in R, S or LITE Flex and a black Lamkin Crossline (58+) COBRA CONNECT grip. The KING SPEEDZONE Women’s Hybrids, in a stunning Matte Black/Rose Gold colorway, are available in 4H (21 O), 5H (24 O), 6H (28 O) and 7H (31 O) of loft and come stock with UST Recoil 450 ESX shaft in ladies’ flex and a black/rose gold Lamkin Crossline COBRA CONNECT grip.

The KING SPEEDZONE ONE Length Hybrids (MAP $229) share the same performance boosting technologies as the traditional length hybrids do, in COBRA’s patented ONE Length configuration. Each hybrid features 7-iron length configuration to simplify a players’ game by allowing them to use one repeatable set-up and swing, giving them 7-iron consistency in their hybrid. These hybrids are available in 2H (19 O), 4H (21 O) and 5H (24 O) of loft and come standard with a UST Recoil 480 ESX shaft in S, R or LITE flexes (in RH/LH) and a blue Lamkin Crossline COBRA CONNECT grip.

These look to be another hit. I was a big fan of F9 last year compared to F8 and was almost convinced that the tour model might be my next FWY. Then they go an introduce the Big Tour Fwy. Much testing required! I'm digging all the options!

The FW and Hybrids will stun some people this year.
 
While I don't subscribe to the two driver logic, I could absolutely see myself dropping that 12 degree Big Tour to 11 degrees and treating it like a driver.

Absolutely PUMPED to hit it.

But...it only goes to 12 :ROFLMAO:
 
I’ll take a Big Tour fairway, thanks.
 
The drivers will get all of the praise, but these will be the unsung heroes of this launch.
 
that is quite a lot of options.
 
This is giving me a lot to ponder over the winter.
 
A lot of options and zones. Both of which sound great. Tour 3 and 4 FW set at 15 and 19 sounds intriguing to me.
 
That fairway wood in white looks SO GOOD. Has the adapter changed from the F8?
 
Wow... so many options! The Morgan Cuppers are really going to need to do their research this year. They look and sound incredible!
 
Wow - the Big Tour FWY is calling my name! 13.5" bombs sound like FUN. I need a tough more face depth than the F9 gave me... excited to see these hit the stores. I LOVE, LOVE the CNC milled face on Cobra drivers and fairways.
 
The Big Tour sounds awesome!
 
The Speedzone FW and HY are on e-paper the most interesting to me of this release set. With driver and irons I have a pretty good idea of what I like and what works well for me. FW and HY have been an afterthought in my bag. Cobra could be a nice fit for me here. Formally on my to hit list.

Yeah. I’m thinking the same.
 
Well I really need to see these.

The king Ltd 3 wood was insane off the tee, so hoping that the new big tour replicates it. Hoping it still has excellent playability off the tuf.

The new tour looks good as well, it's going to be transformed into my "super" hybrid again most likely.

3 heads is awesome. Something for everyone.
 
Two spots in my bag that I've never really gotten along with-- Fairway and Hybrids- but given my success with the OL irons, I think I may have to get out and try the OL hybrid and see if I could make em work.

The FW spot is a personal confidence piece, I have none haha. Will be interested in giving these a go- or maybe adopting other's two driver idea with the Big Tour.

It's KING SZn baby
 
Some Big Tour fairway may be in my future. I could see that in a 13* and a Super Hybrid at 17*.
 
I have been waiting to get a new hybrid to replace the 4h F8 I have now. Truth be told, it has not been my favorite club, but I think it is more of a shaft issue. This new KING SZ 3H may be just the ticket.
 
Great looking FW & hybrids. I enjoyed hitting @phoffers for awhile and the milled face was awesome when i struck it solid.
 
I’ve got a question for the THP brain trust,

How does one go about choosing between the Fairway Wood models? Assuming you hit them all on a monitor. What are you looking for in those numbers and how they translate to strength and weakness on course for a player that should be gaming each of the models?

Personally I dont think choosing between models will come down solely to numbers.
I think you have to have some comfort with the shaping and then let the numbers fill the gap appropriately you have in your bag.
