F7 Junior One Length irons will bring a new level of consistency to junior golfers’ games
Carlsbad, Calif. (Apr. 19, 2017) COBRA GOLF, a leader in golf club innovation and technology, today introduced its most groundbreaking junior iron set to date. The new F7 JUNIOR ONE Length set of irons provide golf’s younger generation with optimized performance, distance, forgiveness and consistency on every shot, through patented, single iron length technology.
COBRA’s JUNIOR F7 ONE set features constant length irons that have been re-engineered for 7-iron length and weighting throughout the set, and are designed with optimized geometry to produce consistent trajectory and distance gapping from long irons to wedges. In fact, COBRA’s research shows that across the board junior players testing JUNIOR F7 ONE irons improved in accuracy, with tighter distance and dispersion variation from shot-to-shot, leading to increased confidence and better iron play. In addition, the one-length design simplifies the set-up to promote one consistent swing through the set, leading to more centered club face impacts. Beyond long irons and approach shots, COBRA testing demonstrated improved short-game performance with the one-length set, due to the simplicity of set-up and execution.
“Since working with Bryson DeChambeau to help bring this concept to life in two adult sets of irons earlier this year, we have had requests from retailers and consumers to offer a set of one length irons for junior golfers,” said Tom Olsavsky, Vice President of R&D for COBRA GOLF. “We tested these irons among a wide range of skill levels ranging in age from 13-15 and we found that universally they delivered more consistency and better performance for these younger golfers”
The F7 JUNIOR ONE irons incorporate COBRA’s patented TECFLOTM technology delivering a set that utilizes advanced cavity construction to optimize the performance characteristics of each iron in the set. The F7 JUNIOR ONE’s progressive head construction features a full hollow 5-iron that lowers CG for higher launch and more distance, a half hollow 7-iron for more accuracy with added forgiveness, cavity back scoring irons (9i-PW) to promote more spin for increased precision, and a specialty wedge design in the SW produces greater versatility for shot control into greens.
In addition, a new PWRSHELLTM face introduces a thinner face and sole structure that increases the Sweet Zone and delivers distance, precision and forgiveness. This, combined with Zone Weighting, allows the CG to be moved lower and more centered in the long irons to create even more distance and forgiveness. Additionally, CNC milling improves groove structures in these irons to deliver maximum spin and trajectory control throughout the set. Using COBRA’s proven Progressive Spin Technology the company has combined progressive groove shapes and CNC milling to deliver maximum spin performance for each iron in the set.
The COBRA F7 JUNIOR ONE irons are designed for golfers between the ages of 13-15 years of age and are available in right-hand only (MAP: $449 – 5-piece set (5-7-9-PW-SW) with stock with Lamkin EPDM REL-Red, White and Blue grips and graphite COBRA Fujikura Fuel Jr. shafts that are 36.25″ in length. The F7 JUNIOR ONE irons will be available at retail and online beginning April 21st.
