Cobra King F6: Drivers, Fairway Woods and Hybrids
It’s no wonder that equipment companies have began offering more and more adjustability in their metal woods. It gives golfers the opportunity to buy a club off the rack that’s a fit for their game. Taken a step further, it allows club fitters to quickly and easily dial in launch angles and spin rates for the best-possible performance.
Cobra has used adjustable hosels in its metal woods, by way of its MyFly hosel, for years. But last year with its Fly-Z+ driver, it introduced center of gravity (CG) adjustability, allowing golfers to adjust both launch angle and spin rate independent of loft adjustments by moving weight forward or rearward in the club head.
With its new King F6 line, Cobra is expanding that CG adjustability into a greater number of clubs — the King F6 driver and fairway woods. The hybrids also have the benefit of a weight portal, which can be used to meet specific swing weight requirements.
Cobra King F6 driver
Cobra’s new King F6+ drivers are equipped with the most adjustability the company has to offer, while its new King F6 drivers ($349) are made for golfers who need an extra boost in forgiveness or need a little more spin to improve their tee games. With two interchangeable weights — 10 grams and 3 grams — golfers will still have the luxury of adjusting center of gravity (CG) to dial in spin rate and launch angle, but the main draw of the King F6 is its ease of use.

Compared to the King F6+ drivers, the F6 will be more forgiving, higher launching and higher spinning. Translation? The F6 makes it easier for golfers to get the ball in the air and keep it there.
The lighter of the two weights (translucent) is actually optional, and USGA legal with or without the weight. It weighs 3 grams, and affects swing weight by 1.5 points.

The King F6 is available in four color options
Cobra King F6 Fairway Woods
The King F6 marks the first time Cobra has offered a fairway wood with CG adjustability. Each fairway wood has two weights — one that weighs 20 grams and one that weighs 3 grams — which affect launch angle and spin rate by more than 200 rpm. Positioning the heavier weight forward will create a more penetrating, lower-spinning flight, while positioning the heavier weight rearward will make the fairway wood slightly more forgiving and raise launch and spin.
Like the King F6 driver, the 3-gram translucent weight is optional, allowing golfers to reduce the swing weight of the club.
The faces of the F6 fairway woods are made from 475 stainless steel, which Cobra claims are 30 percent stronger than the 465 stainless used in its predecessors, paving the way for these thinner, faster club faces.
Last year, Cobra released two fairway woods; the Fly-Z, which had a fixed weight in the back position and was higher-launching and higher-spinning, and the Fly-Z+, which had a fixed weight in the front and was lower-launching and lower-spinning.
How does the F6 in its two settings compare to the Fly-Z and Fly-Z+ fairway woods? According to Cobra’s testing, the F6 in its heavy-weight-back setting is lower spinning than the Fly-Z, and the F6 in its heavy-weight-forward setting is lower spinning than the Fly-Z+. That makes both clubs longer in both carry and total distance.
The F6 fairway woods ($239) are available in two colors: black and blue.
Cobra King F6 hybrids
Cobra’s new King F6 hybrids ($199) don’t offer CG adjustability, but they do offer a new head profile designed around a ratio associated with beauty in nature and art: the Golden Ratio.
Here’s what the Golden Ratio looks like

Do you see the influence of the Golden Ratio in its head shape?
Aside from being “one” with nature, the King F6 hybrids have a 13-gram weight in the back portion of the sole, driving weight down and back. They also have thin, 455 stainless steel club faces designed for maximum ball speed across the face.
Compared to the Fly-Z hybrids, the F6 hybrids are 3 grams lighter, and have a CG located closer to the center of the face, or more toward the toe, according to Cobra.
The F6 hybrids are available in three models: 2/3 (16-19 degrees), 3/4 (19 to 22 degrees) and 4/5 (22 to 25 degrees).

Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

I’ll take the white and silver one please…
Have a Bio Cell from a few years ago and really enjoy using it, I think Cobra is underrated when it comes to design and configuration.

Golf equipment is a very personal thing, but I have to disagree the king ltd pro driver w the black tie or the project x hazardous shafts are one of the best in the market. Everyone call fall for the TM, Callaway marketing but at the end of the day you give credit where it’s due. Standard King cobra I did not get on with, but the pro head w the right shaft is the best driver on the market and I’ve tested them all intensively. Feel, sound (relative) are fantastic. Fairway w proper shaft feels and sounds great w driver like spin numbers 2100-2500, good for some bad for others. Cobra has come a long ways and quietly just put quality stuff out. But golf is a personal thing towards brand loyalty and what gives you confidence, just in my experience and opinion, top shelf stuff you’d sell yourself short not atleast going out and trying it
