The King F7 Junior driver is engineered to deliver the same blend of maximum distance and increased forgiveness as F7 – plus a free shaft upgrade!
CARLSBAD, Calif. (March 22, 2017) – Young golfers looking to play like the pros, and hit it longer and straighter, now have another game-changing driver, courtesy of COBRA Golf, to help improve their game. In addition COBRA’s adjustable weight system and MyFly8 technology, the new KING F7 Junior Driver now comes equipped with the new COBRA CONNECT Powered by Arccos technology – allowing the next generation of golfers to track their distance like never before.
The KING F7 Junior Driver (MAP $249), a junior version of the KING F7 driver, features the same technology as the adult version with three discrete CG positions in the front, back and heel for three very different ball flights. The heavier 8g weight in the front CG position creates a lower, penetrating ball flight with less spin and more roll for maximum distance. When the heavier weight is placed in the back position, it delivers a higher, towering ball flight with added spin for more carry distance and increased forgiveness. When moved to the heel CG position, it works to reduce spin to deliver straighter drives that correct a slice.
The Junior Driver also features the COBRA CONNECT Powered by Arccos system which features an ultralight sensor that’s embedded in the grip, allowing golfers to automatically track the distance and accuracy of every drive. COBRA CONNECT users simply pair their club with the free Arccos Driver smartphone app to receive their performance data, access rangefinder GPS distances for 40,000 courses and compete in the King of the Hole virtual long drive competition. Players will also be able to access exclusive COBRA content within the Arccos Driver app, including product tech videos and golf tips from COBRA coaches and PGA TOUR Pros.
A new, re-engineered Forged 8-11 Titanium E9 Face is a variable thickness structure that is lighter, thinner and hotter, for faster ball speeds and a larger SweetZone across the face. A multi-material TeXtreme Crown Fiber yields a 20% lighter crown allowing for more weight to be redistributed lower and deeper into the club head for extreme distance and forgiveness.
Since kids grow very quickly, COBRA Golf is continuing to use the free shaft upgrade option in the KING F7 Junior Driver. Golfers can register their purchased driver on the cobragolf.com and receive one free upgrade to a longer, firmer shaft when needed.
The MyFly8 technology allows junior golfers to easily adjust their loft as their game and swing develop, helping them maximize distance, manage trajectory for different weather and course conditions and dial in the club to match their game. The Junior Driver can be adjusted to the following loft settings: 11° – 14° and three draw settings: 11.5°, 12.5°, 13.5°.
The KING F7 Junior Driver then takes adjustability a step further with SmartPad, COBRA’s proprietary technology, which delivers a square face at address regardless of loft setting. This helps the junior golfer to align the ball directly down the fairway.
The Junior Driver is sold with a 39″, 41″ or 43″ Fujikura Fuel shaft. Below is a recommended fitting chart.
Typical Age 7-9 10-12 13-15
Typical Height 45″-55″ 50″-60″ 55″-70″
