Cobra has launched a brand new vary of drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons below the model identify DARKSPEED. Accessible for pre-sale from January 11, they may begin arriving in professional outlets and golf retail shops from January 19.
DARKSPEED DRIVERS
DARKSPEED drivers characteristic aerodynamic shaping, a re-engineered PWR-BRIDGE, and superior A.I-designed PWRSHELL H.O.T. Face in three fashions – LS, X and MAX – every of which characteristic a singular weight configuration to optimize efficiency for the goal participant for which they’re designed.
AI-designed PWR-BRIDGE weighting contains a suspended weight that’s positioned decrease and extra ahead, leading to sooner ball velocity. A 13% bigger PWRSHELL face insert with A.I. designed H.O.T. Face Know-how maximizes velocity throughout the hitting space. The face design is optimized utilizing machine studying to extend ball velocity effectivity and smash issue.
All three DARKSPEED drivers characteristic a multi-material chassis with light-weight carbon crown and sole plates, in addition to a strengthened titanium body to create optimum weight distribution and most stability.

It’s fitted with a UST Helium Nanocore shaft in L flex.RRP: £429 LOFTS: 9°, 10.5°, 12° (+/- 1.5° adjustability).SHAFT OPTIONS: Venture X HZRDUS CB Crimson (A and R flex); UST Mamiya LIN-Q M40X Crimson (R and S flex).
DARKSPEED FAIRWAY WOODS
Complementing the DARKSPEED drivers is a full lineup of fairway metals. Using PWR-BRIDGE weighting, PWRSHELL with H.O.T. FACE, and carbon fibre crown applied sciences because the DARKSPEED drivers, the green WOODS are additionally out there in three fashions to suit the complete spectrum of gamers.
DARKSPEED LS FAIRWAYDesigned for gamers with sooner swing speeds, the brand new LS contains a space-grade Titanium physique and Titanium PWRSHELL H.O.T. FACE insert. Titanium was utilized by COBRA engineers to avoid wasting extra discretionary weight and reposition it decrease and ahead within the head.This mix of PWR-BRIDGE know-how and 68g of tungsten weighting strikes the CG decrease and ahead for max ball velocity and distance. A light-weight carbon crown additionally capabilities to avoid wasting weight within the higher portion of the clubhead, yielding a CG location that’s 3.2mm decrease to the bottom than within the earlier mannequin.Just like the LS driver, the DARKSPEED LS fairway steel options an adjustable weighting system with two 15g weights within the entrance and a single 3g weight within the again for trajectory and spin tuning.RRP: £329 Lofts: 3+ (13°), 3 (14.5 o), 5 (17.5°). All adjustable +/- 1.5°. Â
DARKSPEED X FAIRWAYThe DARKSPEED X mannequin is designed for gamers in search of a stability of simple launch, forgiveness, and distance. An 8g mounted weight is positioned within the rear of the only real for added forgiveness and excessive launch, whereas PWR-BRIDGE and PWRSHELL H.O.T. FACE Know-how present sooner ball velocity via a low, ahead CG location. A light-weight carbon crown additional contributes to the low CG by eradicating weight from the higher portion of the clubhead.RRP: £329 Lofts: 3 (15°), 5 (18°), 7 (21°). All adjustable +/- 1.5°.
DARKSPEED MAX FAIRWAYThe most forgiving fairway steel within the lineup is designed for gamers that want a excessive, draw-biased ball flight. Just like the MAX driver, the green steel options an adjustable weight system with 12g and 3g weights positioned within the again and the heel of the only real to positive tune forgiveness and flight.PWR-BRIDGE weighting and PWRSHELL H.O.T. FACE Know-how ship the quickest ball velocity doable utilizing low and ahead weighting and an optimized variable thickness face design, whereas a carbon crown helps decrease the CG location for greater launch.A girls’s mannequin is available in a particular gloss black end with cool blue colour accents and is supplied with a UST Helium Nanocore shaft in Girls flex.RRP: £329 Lofts: 3 (15.5°), 5 (18.5°), 7 (21.5°).

DARKSPEED IRONS
Designed to supply the last word mixture of velocity, distance, and really feel, the brand new DARKSPEED irons characteristic an all-new hole physique development full of really feel enhancing foam, in addition to re-engineered PWR-BRIDGE and PWRSHELL applied sciences to create COBRA’s longest, finest feeling recreation enchancment iron so far.
Taking cues from metalwood designs, a brand new hole physique development creates a thinner and extra responsive clubhead construction that unlocks as much as 25% extra face flection for sooner ball speeds and longer distance.
To realize enhanced sound and really feel, the hole physique of the brand new DARKSPEED irons is injected with foam microspheres, which develop to fill the interior cavity. As soon as injected the froth helps the PWR-BRIDGE weight whereas additionally offering vibration-dampening properties for a comfortable really feel and pleasing sound.
For optimized efficiency via the set, the DARKSPEED irons characteristic a progressive TECFLO development that transitions from a full hole design with PWR-BRIDGE and PWRSHELL within the 4-7 irons, to full hole physique with no face insert within the 8-PW, to a half hole design within the GW-SW.
The PWR-BRIDGE weight is suspended on a small singular publish, permitting it to be virtually utterly free floating inside the hole clubhead. This performance-enhancing design positions the CG low for optimum launch whereas creating an improved face and sole that helps improve ball velocity and launch.
A thinner (1.6mm) and 21% bigger PWRSHELL H.O.T. Face insert that takes ball velocity to the subsequent degree. An L-Cup development additionally boasts a brand new and improved H.O.T. Face sample, designed utilizing AI, for a sooner and extra environment friendly clubface. H.O.T. Face was designed to provide the optimum variable thickness sample for a bigger candy spot and improved velocity on each centre and off-centre hits.
DARKSPEED Irons can be found in each Variable and ONE Size choices. Every One-Size iron is constructed to 7-iron size (37.25 inches) to encourage a repeatable setup and swing. They characteristic wider soles and barely weaker lofts within the 4-6 irons in comparison with the usual set to advertise greater trajectory.
RRP: £849/£949 (4-PW, st/gr)
