Cobra’s King F6 Baffler and King Utility Iron

Published

on

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).

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.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
