What we say...
Cobra’s Speedzone Fairway Woods feature a CNC Milled face and new ‘split rail’ face flex structure to aid ball speed.
There’s a trend in 2020 for drivers to come in two or three options – better player, standard and forgiving. Cobra is offering the same solution from its fairway woods, too.
Engineers focused on four key areas in order to deliver distance, forgiveness and accuracy:
Milled face: The only forged CNC milled face in a fairway wood allows for a thinner and hotter design that is up to five times more precise than traditional hand polishing.
Face flex: A new “split rail” structure divides the rail system into front and rear portions. The front ones have been hollowed out to create thinner walls that flex at impact.
Stability: Two Baffler Rails provide stability and speed through the turf, letting the club glide through different lies and retain its speed at impact.
Weight: A carbon-fibre crown saves 10g; that saved weight has been positioned to lower the centre of gravity for higher launch and forgiveness.
All three also get Cobra Connect, the Arccos tags that let users track the accuracy and distance of every shot.
