Cobra King SpeedZone Fairways and Hybrids With The Rail System

Cobra’s new golf lineup includes hybrids and fairways in their SpeedZone line.

The fairways include the more traditional King SpeedZone Fairway; the more compact King SpeedZone Tour, for better players; and the SpeedZone Big Tour Fairway, which has the largest profile of the three, stronger loft, forward CG weighting, and near zero CG . There also are women’s models.

The hybrid models include both standard and one-length designs.

All of the SpeedZone Fairway and Hybrid options feature dual baffler rails, which function like the multiple hulls on an outrigger, providing stability as the club passes through the turf.

Cobra says they have improved the rail design with a new “split rail” system. The front part of the rail has been hollowed out to create thinner walls that flex with impact

I have a set of old Cobra Baffler hybrids which have been in my bag for years. I really believe that the rails help to keep the face square and the shots straight. I currently have 2 through 5 hybrids in the bag.

COBRA GOLF’S KING SPEEDZONE FAIRWAYS & HYBRIDS DELIVER A NEW LEVEL OF POWER, SPEED AND DISTANCE

Carlsbad, Calif. (November 19, 2019) 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 CG, 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 flextion 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:

• 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 (17^O), 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 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.
