Sleeker new head profile
Three adjustable sole weights
H.O.T. face expertise with ST-118 face materials
Focused at superior gamers
From a bean counter’s desk, possibly it’s extra sensible to prioritize funds and assets to construct merchandise for leisure golfers—by far the most important share of the world’s golf inhabitants—over a a lot smaller client section comprised of extremely expert gamers.
For almost all of golf OEMs, that type of logic merely doesn’t fly. Right here’s why: Zero to 15-handicap gamers are entrenched customers. Certain, the “higher participant” numbers are a lot smaller. However they play extra often, spend extra to do it and pay nearer consideration to business tendencies and innovation.
That’s for whom COBRA constructed the brand new KING TEC hybrid. The premium-level, adjustable hybrid enhances COBRA’S new household of higher participant irons (KING Tour, KING CB and KING MB) and affords elite ball strikers a multi-purpose choice from a wide range of lies and conditions.
About Face
Prefer it did for with AEROJET irons, the engineers at COBRA utilized H.O.T. Face expertise to the KING TEC hybrid with one added wrinkle to the PWRSHELL insert: a brand new solid ST-118 metal face materials. The extremely versatile solid ST-118 creates a bigger zone for greater launch and quicker ball speeds on off-center strikes.
Each KING Wears a Crown
The KING TEC hybrid additionally comes with a four-gram carbon-fiber crown. Use of the light-weight materials helps push weight decrease and additional again within the clubhead leading to decrease CG, improved launch and only a trace of forgiveness.
Collectively, the carbon-fiber crown, H.O.T. Face and PWRSHELL kick up the efficiency normal of this hybrid. Customers get much less spin, improved management, reliable distance and better launch.
The Form of Issues
To offer the KING Tec extra attraction within the taking part in place, COBRA engineers did some reshaping to the top profile. The result’s a sleeker, extra refined look that higher gamers admire.
The KING TEC hybrid has a shorter blade size, much less offset, a delicate, extra rounded toe and crown together with up to date face and toe curvatures to make the membership seem extra sq. at tackle.
Adjustable Weight? Test!
Three accompanying adjustable sole weights (two 12-gram weights and one two-gram) dial in particular ball flight necessities.
Draw bias: two 12g weights within the again/heel
Fade bias: two 12g weights within the again/toe
Straight flight bias: two 12g weights within the heel and toe
Whereas some scoff on the thought of transferring weights as soon as a customized becoming has been accomplished or they’ve been dialed in, I’d encourage a re-think. Issues change. Adjustability offers value-added side to a membership like KING Tec particularly when swing adjustments are undertaken.
Further weights will be bought via COBRA customized.
Adjustability for Loft, Too
As you’d anticipate, KING TEC hybrid additionally comes with MYFLY Adjustable Loft Expertise. A COBRA innovation, the hosel-based loft-altering platform offers changes of plus or minus 1.5 levels to fine-tune launch and spin operate.
