Cobra’s King F6 Baffler and King Utility Iron

Cobra King F6 Baffler

Cobra’s King F6 Baffler is one of the most intriguing new fairway woods of the year. It can be adjusted to the loft of either a 4 wood or 5 wood (16-19 degrees), and features rails on its sole that are designed to improve turf interaction, particularly from less-than-ideal lies.

It’s more than just a get-out-of-trouble club, however. Two adjustable weights (15 grams and 3 grams) can give the club either a lower-spinning or higher-spinning ball flight, helping golfers fill a specific yardage gap in their bag.

The King F6 Baffler ($239) has a stock length of 41.75 inches, making it slightly shorter than most 4-5 woods on the market. It will be available May 1, and off-the-rack models will feature Matrix’s Red Tie Q4 (L, R, S, X).

Cobra King Utility Iron

When Fowler hasn’t had the King F6 Baffler in the bag in 2016, he’s opted for Cobra’s King Utility iron, which we identified as a Show Stopper from the 2016 PGA Merchandise Show. The hot-faced iron is novel in that it allows golfers to adjust its loft and lie through an adjustable hosel, instead of the usual loft-and-lie machine.

The King Utility’s high-tech design includes a hollow head, and wide sole and a 67-gram tungsten weight. All three move weight lower and deeper in the club head to create the high trajectory most golfers want from their longest iron. A thin, L-Cup club face made of 455 stainless steel helps improve ball speed, offering golfers more distance as well.

Depending on a golfer’s needs, the King Utility can be adjusted from 18 degrees to 21 degrees, and also features three draw settings that make the iron more upright.

“This club is perfect for the golfer whose last iron stops at 4 and needs a 3 iron, or the golfer whose longest iron stops at a 3 iron and needs 2-iron distance somewhere throughout the round,” said Tom Olsavsky, Vice President of R&D, COBRA Golf.

The King Utility ($199 steel, $219 graphite) will be available May 1 with either KBS’ C-Taper Lite (S, X) or Aldila’s Rogue Black 85 (R, S, X)

You can ‘t change the loft mid round of an iron. That probably goes without saying, but according to the quote, “somewhere throughout the round” Am I wrong here?

  He was not saying that “somewhere throughout the round” you can change the loft, he is saying that “somewhere throughout the round” you may need that extra club outside your longest iron.

love that f6 baffler. Have played previous baffler models and all were very easy to hit, almost SGI type category.

Bravo to them for chasing usefulness over distance(club length) with the baffler. Give the average golfer a club they at least have a chance of hitting…consistently.

New Level launches new 480-DB irons, blending performance and forgiveness

Published

Brian Knudson

New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.

The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.

For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.

While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.

A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.

A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.

You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.
