Golf gear has never looked so good or performed so well. Welcome to the future.
COBRA KING F7 & KING F7+ Driver with COBRA CONNECT
Introducing Cobra Golf’s longest and smartest drivers – KING F7 and KING F7+.
The F7 and F7+, provide golfers with a choice between oversized performance or traditional shaping while delivering playable distance and unmatched feel with extreme forgiveness.
Both models boast the COBRA CONNECT Powered by Arccos system which features an ultralight sensor that is embedded into the grip, allowing golfers to automatically track the distance and accuracy of every drive. COBRA CONNECT users simply pair their club with the free Arccos Driver smartphone app to receive their performance data, access rangefinder GPS distances for 40,000 courses and compete in the King of the Hole virtual long drive competition. Players will also be able to access exclusive COBRA content within the Arccos Driver app, including product tech videos and golf tips from COBRA coaches and PGA TOUR Pros.
The KING F7 driver features a larger face and address profile which increases MOI and provides more distance, forgiveness and speed across the face. An adjustable weight system with three CG settings in the front, the back and heel positions allows for three differing ball flights – low, high and draw, to provide golfers with optimum distance and trajectory in a variety of conditions.
The KING F7 driver also features a re-engineered Forged Ti-811 E9 Face that is lighter, thinner and hotter, creating faster ball speeds and a larger Sweet ZoneTM across the face. A multi-material TeXtreme Carbon Fiber Crown frees up discretionary weight, which allowed engineers to create three distinct CG positions and three performance distances. MyFly8 with SmartPad technology allows golfers to choose between eight loft settings to fine tune launch conditions and maximise distance while keeping the club head square at address.

KING F7 Fairway & F7 Hybrid
Introducing the new collection of KING F7 fairways and hybrids. Utilising COBRA’s iconic Baffler Rail System, first introduced in the brands original Baffler woods more than 40 years ago, blended with today’s front-to-back weighting systems for the perfect combination of personalisation, distance, control and forgiveness from any lie.
The F7 Fairways feature progressive rail heights that are strategically engineered to be shallower in the 3-4 woods and progressively thicker as you move into the 7-8 to deliver easy-up distance and consistency from every lie. The front of the rails improve turf forgiveness while the back of the rails help the club glide out of the turf more smoothly.
The F7 Fairways come equipped with two Centre of Gravity (CG) positions and 20-gram and 3-gram moveable weights that can be positioned in the front or the back to deliver a penetrating or towering trajectory, depending on player preference and varying course conditions.Â
To maximise distance and ball speed, COBRA Golf engineers used a thinner, high-strength, forged 475 stainless steel face insert along with a 17-4 stainless steel body, which creates discretionary weight and allow for greater CG adjustability. MyFly8 delivers eight loft positions (loft ranges are listed below) to fine-tune players’ long game.Â
Rounding out the metalwood collection are the KING F7 Hybrids, which also feature COBRA’s Baffler Dual Rail design for improved turf reaction and consistency from every lie. Each club (2-3H, 3-4H and 4-5H) features a fixed back CG (13-gram) to deliver high MOI and a more centred CG more forgiveness and precision shot after shot. The new hybrid touts a thin 455 SS face for maximum ball speed. The hybrids also feature COBRA’s MyFly8 which allows golfers to choose between eight loft settings to fine tune launch conditions.

COBRA KING FORGED TOUR Irons & KING FORGED TOUR ONE LENGTH Irons
Introducing the ultimate players iron, the KING FORGED TOUR, along with its first FORGED TOUR ONE LENGTH set. The ONE LENGTH version is currently in the bag of PGA TOUR professional and COBRA PUMA GOLF athlete, Bryson DeChambeau. With Tour proven performance, these irons are optimised for performance providing the soft feel, distance and precision demanded by the best golfers.
The KING FORGED ONE LENGTH utilises a 5-step forging process that ensures precise iron shaping, a more refined grain structure, along with unparalleled feel for better players. The set is comprised of constant length irons that have been re-engineered for 7-iron weighting and are designed with optimised geometries, to provide consistent trajectory and distance gapping from long irons to wedges. In addition, the KING FORGED ONE features 100% CNC Milled Face and Grooves for maximum spin and trajectory control, Tungsten Weighting (in 4i-7i) for a lower and centred CG and a Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Insert (4i–8i) behind the hitting zone to damp vibrations for better feel and moves weight toward the perimeter for added heel and toe relief.
Rounding out the COBRA Golf 2017 iron family are the new KING FORGED TOUR irons that offer Tour-proven performance, feel and precise shot-making. The KING FORGED TOUR irons utilise the same premium technologies as the KING FORGED ONE, but with a traditional set length and head weight progression. The KING FORGED TOUR, which also use a 5-step forging process, are designed with Tungsten Weighting employing high-density tungsten weights that are strategically positioned on the sole of the clubhead for a lowered and centred CG that delivers the ideal blend of forgiveness and precision. A TPU Insert located behind the hitting zone damps vibrations and improves feel while CNC milled faces and grooves improve the structure and maximise spin and trajectory control.
COBRA Golf’s offering also includes ONE LENGTH specialty wedges in 56o and 60o. The Versatile grind design features toe, heel and trailing edge relief and is combined with COBRA’s iconic notch technology which allows the club to sit square and lower at address. COBRA’s patented milling technique delivers optimised surface roughness across the face that helps maximise spin and control for more precise shots around the green.

KING OS Irons
Reintroducing COBRA Golf’s famed KING Oversized irons featuring largest iron head and the brands largest Sweet Zone ever. The oversized profile coupled with improved performance technologies deliver an easy to hit iron built for explosive distance without sacrificing forgiveness or control.
Featuring an all new PWRSHELL™ face technology, which helps to lower and centre CG (Centre of Gravity), and provides a thinner, lighter face and sole structure, delivering higher ball speeds across the face for more distance. A full-hollow body construction throughout the set, delivers a soft, yet solid sound for higher launch and improved consistency. Additionally, a 100% milled face improves groove structures for maximum spin and trajectory control, while progressive spin technology delivers optimum spin performance throughout the set. V-grooves on the 4-6 irons reduce spin for more distance, U-grooves on the 7-PW increase spin for more controlled shots into greens, and wedge spaced grooves on the GW and SW produce extra spin for scoring around the green.
Multi-material cavity construction with a new aluminium medallion badge saves weight that is then positioned by upto 60 grams of high density tungsten weighting in the toe, creating the low and centred CG in an oversized head. A premium nickel chrome finish provides long-lasting durability and smooth aesthetics.

KING F7 Irons & KING F7 ONE LENGTH Irons
Introducing Cobra Golf’s most groundbreaking and versatile iron family yet. The new KING F7 set of irons, along with COBRA’s first-ever F7 ONE LENGTH set provides golfers with optimised performance, distance, forgiveness and control of every shot.Â
The 2017 KING irons offering is headlined by the KING F7, which builds upon the popular KING F6 model that introduced the ultimate progressive set to the market. The KING F7 irons incorporate COBRA’s patented TECFLO™ technology to deliver a set that utilises advanced cavity construction to optimise the performance characteristics of each iron. A new PWRSHELL™ face introduces a thinner face and sole structure that increases the Sweet Zone and delivers distance, precision and forgiveness. TECFLO™ along with a new Thin, Optimised and Personalised (T.O.P) polymer medallion badge that is lighter than steel, allows the CG to be moved lower to create even more distance and forgiveness. Additionally, CNC milling improves groove structures in these irons to deliver maximum spin and trajectory control throughout the set.
The men’s KING F7 ONE LENGTH™ irons make their debut as COBRA’s first ever single-length iron set. Inspired by rising PGA TOUR star, Bryson DeChambeau, KING F7 ONE utilises a similar TECFLO™ construction as the KING F7, along with PWRSHELL™ Faces and T.O.P. Technology. The KING F7 ONE features constant length irons that have been re-engineered for 7-iron length and weighting throughout the set, and are designed with optimised geometry to produce consistent trajectory and distance gapping from long irons to wedges. In fact, COBRA’s research shows that across the board players testing KING F7 ONE irons improved in accuracy, with tighter distance and dispersion variation from shot-to-shot, leading to increased confidence and better iron play. In addition, the clubs one-length design simplifies the set-up for one swing through the set leading to more centred club face impacts.
