Cobra Announces Launch of New King Cobra Comp Fairway Metals
Press Release

Following on the heels of the widely accepted King Cobra COMP driver line launch, Cobra introduces its new family of King Cobra COMP fairway metals. Like the driver, the fairway metals feature an ultra-lightweight, carbon composite top. Cobra has developed six new cutting-edge King Cobra COMP fairway metals, in lofts ranging from 13 to 24 degrees, all of which feature Cobra’s exclusive rhombus face technology and the Cobra dual weighting system.

“The ongoing success and momentum achieved by our breakthrough King Cobra COMP driver line is due in great part to golfers who have had an opportunity to demo the product,” said Jeff Harmet, President, Cobra Golf. “The same will be true for the new King Cobra COMP Fairway Metals. We are at the forefront of composite technology in the metalwood category and the King Cobra COMP delivers the high launch, easy to hit product performance that golfers seek in a fairway metal.”

The King Cobra COMP Fairways feature a composite woven crown constructed of carbon fiber. The lightweight material is approximately 10 grams lighter than the conventional steel fairway crown, allowing the weight to be redistributed low and in the back of the clubhead. A Dual Weighting System promotes a deeper Center of Gravity that produces a larger Sweet Zone for higher trajectory and greater carry distance. The weight savings also allows for a deeper, wider face for greater forgiveness. A center rhombus-shaped face pad, positioned within a larger, thinner face perimeter, promotes greater face flex for faster ball speeds and forgiveness on both center and off-center hits.

The new King Cobra COMP Fairway Metals line includes lofts of: 13.0 (3+), 15.5 (3), 16.5 (4), 18.0 (5), 21.0 (7) and 24.0 (9) degrees. All of the clubs feature the Cobra/Graphite Design YS 5.1 ultra-lightweight 55 gram shaft with low to medium tip stiffness to promote a high-launch draw bias ball flight.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY: All King Cobra COMP Fairway Metals conform to the USGA and R&A Rules of Golf. They will begin shipping to golf shops in October with a suggested retail price of $270.

All King Cobra COMP Fairway Metals are available in right and left hand.

THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND KING COBRA COMP FAIRWAY METALS

COMPOSITE TOP: The ultra-lightweight, carbon composite top is approximately 10 grams lighter than a conventional steel crown. The weight is redistributed low and to the back of the club head, which promotes a higher launch angle for greater carry distance. The weight savings also allows for a deeper and wider face.

DUAL WEIGHTING SYSTEM: Precisely positioned dual weight inserts promote a high launch angle, low spin rate and draw bias ball flight.

RHOMBUS FACE TECHNOLOGY: A rhombus shaped center and thinner perimeter create tremendous ball response across entire club face.

LIGHTWEIGHT HIGH-LAUNCH GRAPHITE DESIGN SHAFT: The King Cobra COMP Fairway Metals feature a custom Graphite Design YS-5.1 shaft. The lightweight 55 gram shaft features a low to medium tip stiffness for a high-launch draw bias trajectory.

GOLF PRIDE TOUR VELVET GRIP: Custom made for Cobra by Golf Pride, the Tour Velvet 50D grip features a softer compound than most standard grips. Provides excellent feel while firm enough for control and confidence.
