Cobra’s legendary Baffler is back

Cobra launchs new King F6 Baffler fairway

Cobra’s Baffler was the club that kick-started the hybird trend – and now they’ve revealed a new one featuring elements of that original icon. 

Building on key technology from those iconic Baffler clubs – first introduced in some of the brands original clubs more than 40 years ago – the King F6 Baffler uses the famous rail system on the sole, blended with today’s F6 adjustable weighting technology.

Like the original, the King F6 Baffler features rails that provide improved turf interaction and the ability to exit divots more smoothly.

Cobra says: “The front of the rails improve turf forgiveness from any lie, while the back of the rails help to glide out of the turf more smoothly.”

The F6 Baffler Fairway comes equipped with two centre of gravity (CG) positions and 15g and 3g moveable weights that can be exchanged to deliver penetrating or towering trajectory, depending upon player preference and what the day’s course conditions require.

MyFly8 delivers eight loft positions (loft range: 16°, 16.5°, 16.5° draw, 17.5°, 17.5° draw, 18.5°, 18.5° draw and 19°) to fine-tune a players long game.

“The King F6 Baffler will help golfers glide smoothly out of the turf, helping get the ball up in the air from anywhere on the golf course,” said Jose Miraflor, Senior Director of Product Marketing & Creation, Cobra Golf.

“This is a key club that Rickie Fowler has in the bag on Tour, changing back and forth between this King fairway and his King Utility Iron. The front of the rails help provide forgiveness when sliding through the turf and preventing excess digging, while the trailing edge of the rails help smooth out any imperfections of his shot.”On the F6 Baffler, engineers continue to use a two-piece metalwood construction where the forged 455 stainless steel face is welded on to a 17-4 hollow body.

Utilising a higher strength steel forged face allows engineers to make the club thinner and lighter for increased speed and forgiveness. The club is also slightly shorter in length, 41.75 inches, (standard 5W is approximately 42.5inches) which allows golfers to be a little steeper and more aggressive when needing to get the ball in the air. 

Available May 1, in RH only in black, the King F6 Baffler 4/5 wood (RRP £179) comes equipped with a Cobra REL 360 Grip and Matrix Red Tie Q4 shaft in X-stiff, stiff, regular and lite flexes.
