The No. 1 selling utility metal in golf now gives players of all levels more utility than ever before
Carlsbad, CA (August 24, 2006) – Cobra Golf advances the industry’s best selling line of utility metals with the introduction of the King Cobra Baffler DWS and King Cobra Baffler Pro.
The original Baffler, first launched in 1975, represented the first utility metal in the retail marketplace. The new King Cobra Baffler utility metals continue this tradition by providing golfers of all skill levels a versatile and forgiving utility club that offers higher trajectory, longer distance, greater accuracy and more versatility.
The two new Baffler models feature Cobra’s exclusive design that promotes the high launch, forgiveness and distance of a fairway metal with the playability and control of an iron, as well as new features designed to take a golfer’s game to the next level. The new Baffler DWS offers even greater distance, accuracy, forgiveness and versatility – all thanks to the new Dual Weighting System (DWS). The Baffler Pro is the first Baffler designed for accomplished players who want a non-offset, versatile long iron alternative.
"The Baffler has been so widely accepted among golfers that it claimed the #1 position in unit sales in the U.S. market this past summer, according to Golf Datatech," said Jeff Harmet, President, Cobra Golf. "We’re bringing the new Baffler DWS to the market now because our Engineering team has developed a line that performs even better than the previous generation. We’re excited to offer a new line of even more forgiving Bafflers with the Baffler DWS. The Baffler Pro line will allow us to reach a new segment of accomplished golfers."

The larger, hotter face area generates the Hotter 9 Points clubface for greater face flex and longer, straighter shots.

Sculpted Sole
A sculpted sole facilitates solid contact from virtually any lie.
