#MediaKitMonday - Cobra KING LTD Driver

[Tony Covey MGS]

Technically not Monday, but who cares. I didn't want until next week to show you guys the media kit Cobra sent as part of the launch of their new King LTD Driver.

 

The photos show off the tech pretty well, and give you a peak inside the driver. 

 

It's not something that will be discussed often, but the fact that Cobra actually is encouraging golfers to look inside the club speaks to how strongly the company feels about the quality of its work. I can promise you, most manufacturers would prefer golfers never get to look under the hood at the quality of the welds and the general rawness of the internals.

 

This is impressive work.

 

Also, check out the crown patter in one of the photos. It actually has a checkerboard pattern, but it takes fairly precise positioning of light to make it pop.

Just plain pretty

Very excited for this driver!

 

Where is it supposed to fit in regards to Fly-Z and Fly-Z+??

Where is it supposed to fit in regards to Fly-Z and Fly-Z+??

 

Reading from left to right in terms of both price and low spinishness, the order is:

 

King LTD / King Pro (both $449)

FLY-Z+ (or what replaces it)

FLY-Z (or what replaces it)

FLY-Z XL (or what replaces it)

 

In the release article there's a quote from Jose Miraflor where he describes King LTD as their race car. Everything that gives distance went in, everything that costs distance came out.

 

Taking it out of King LTD eliminated that cost. 

 

Ultimately what we're really talking about are things that impacted Cobra's ability to move the CG where they wanted it. While FLY-Z+ is exceptional in terms of mass reduction in an adjustable CG driver, there's still a cost associated with the structures to support that adjustability. 

 

You're going to see adjustable CG carry through the rest of the Cobra driver lineup, but King LTD is the streamlined (no wasted mass) performance option.

This is on my must hit list. Still looking for something that can take down my SLDR

[Undershooter]

Nice! It doesn't get me as jacked up as their new cb/mb line. They look dead sexy

Same here!

Very cool! Also glad to hear Jose is still a part of a growing success!

[Kenny B]

I would be happy to take it for a test drive!

[Blade]

Wow. Something that actually has new and real technology to give people a reason to buy it. Not just a new look. How refreshing.

[Kanoito]

Hit it, T! Hit it!

So is the port literally just removable so that you can see inside the head or will there be different ports that weigh different amounts?  Seems very unnecessary to have a removable port just for the purpose of seeing the unfinished interior of a driver head.  I wonder if they had made it fixed instead of a screw then they could have saved or moved even more weight?

I guess you didn't read the blog article which explains it.

I'm definitely intrigued by it. The fly z and z+ were such disappointments for me especially after winning the most wanted contest. The cb/mb combo has also peaked my interest.

so...jealous...right...now...

 

Awesome work again Cobra. Personally I'm really excited by the Forged CBs and Forged TEC irons - can't wait to be able to hit them

Anybody know the price?

[Kor.A.Door]
