The back/heel weighting helps you turn the toe over and reduce a slice. This equates to effortless speed and more distance. The Airspeed graphite shaft is 5 grams lighter, and an additional 2 grams was saved due to it being unpainted. Tom Olsavsky, Vice President of R&D for COBRA Golf states, “We’ve re-engineered Superlite to be our lightest, fastest and most forgiving game improvement clubs ever.” Perhaps true, but for those in the target demographic, do you like what you see?įor more information, visit F-Max Airspeed is Cobra's lightest hybrid ever, and never has it been easier to launch the ball from the fairway or from the tee on a long par 3. If the pursuit creates higher-performing equipment as well, then everyone wins. Call it brand diversification, but as competition continues to increase amongst golf’s biggest names, others have to find new avenues and profit centers to continue to drive the bottom line higher. Albeit at a higher price point and slightly different selling strategy, XXIO, is an entire brand dedicated to players of the “moderate” swing speed variety. Value-conscious consumers haven’t generally been a focus for major OEMs – though Tour Edge and its Hot Launch discovered this underserved population several product cycles ago.
#Cobra f max 6 hybrid drivers
There is an evolving segment which acknowledges the characteristics of the majority of golfers and understands not everyone is moved by $500 drivers and $350 off-the-rack putters. It’s available in either black/Lexi blue or white/Purple Cactus colorways. The ladies (also right-hand only) complete set features a 15° driver, 3-wood, 5-wood, 7-wood, 5-hybrid, 6i-PW, SW and a Cobra mallet putter. The rest of the set is pre-determined and comes in a red/black colorway.

Right-handed men can select from the 11.5° driver in lite flex or the 10.5° driver in regular flex. That said, the choices are somewhat limited.
#Cobra f max 6 hybrid full
Each set comes with a premium, full feature cart bag, driver, two fairway woods, two hybrids, six irons (6i-PW, SW) and a Cobra blade putter. In this regard, the term complete set is far more fitting as golfers who are sold on the concept can still purchase a set en masse and save a couple of hundred bucks. The term “Boxed Sets” connotes something both inexpensive and of questionable quality. It’s available in both right-hand and left-hand versions and features the black/Lexi blue colorway. The women’s graphite combo set ($699) includes two hybrids and five irons (5H, 6H, 7-PW, SW) and is paired with a COBRA Superlite 50-gram shaft. All variations are available for both righties and lefties. Additionally, there is a custom option for players who prefer graphite shafts but want to pass on the combo set.
The regular flex option starts with a 4 and 5 hybrid and goes through the pitching wedge whereas the lite flex features and 5 and 6 hybrid and includes 7i-gap wedge. Men can go with either the stock, 7-piece (5-GW) set with KBS Superlite steel shafts ($599) or opt for the graphite combo set ($699) which replaces a couple of long irons with two hybrids. As expected, the set features stronger lofts across the board and specialty gap and sand wedges offer more versatility around the green than is sometimes seen with set matching wedges. The face progression (offset) supports the design as it climbs incrementally from very little in the wedges and short irons to quite robust in the long irons. Progressive hosel lengths alter the CG (center of gravity) in each iron to tweak ball flight. The long irons are engineered for higher launch while the short irons provide a lower, more controllable trajectory. Where the irons deviate slightly (in good way mind you) is the short-irons. The requisite design features of low/rear CG and high MOI result from the deep undercut cavity. Like the rest of the new lineup, the F-Max Superlite irons are designed to increase launch, ball speed and ultimately distance for players with low to moderate swing speeds.
