Design and Technology

The design of the Cobra King F7 Fairway Wood blends the latest technology with time-proven club manufacturing features to create a truly high-performing fairway wood. A progressive dual rail Baffler provides players with long, shallow rails in the 3-wood for sweeping the golf ball off the tee and from the fairway, while the 5- and 7-woods have shorter, deeper rails to help get the ball up in the air from the rough, sand, and divots. There isn’t a long approach shot you can’t hit with the Cobra King F7 Fairway Wood.

When it comes to adjustability, sometimes it’s nice to have a fairway wood that allows you to hit a lower, more piercing trajectory. With the Cobra King F7 Fairway Wood, players can move the sole weight forward, which will help keep the ball from sailing into the air too quickly. This is great for firm, fast conditions or playing in strong winds, where keeping the ball down will help you control your shot and hit it further.

The MyFly8 with SmartPad feature makes full customization of the Cobra King F7 Fairway Wood a breeze, Eight different loft and face settings allow you to change the loft up or down 1.5 degrees, as well as three different draw biases. Since adjusting lofts can alter the way the sole sits on the ground, Cobra implemented the Baffler rails to limit how much of the sole touches the ground, making it even easier to maintain a square clubface no matter what loft you use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standout feature of the Cobra King F7 Fairway Wood?

How does the progressive rail design benefit golfers?

The progressive rail design adapts to different lofts, with shallower rails on lower-lofted clubs for better turf interaction and steeper rails on higher-lofted clubs to assist in launching the ball more easily from challenging lies.

Conclusion

There is so much to love about the Cobra King F7 Fairway Wood: it feels great, can be played from just about any lie you can find, and delivers superb distance on every shot.
