Cobra Golf's motto is "Better Clubs for Better Golfers"
Cobra's strengths are among seniors, women, and high handicappers;
it's soft spot is among the younger, better players. King
Cobra's HS9 Driver, has placed Cobra golf on the same
platform as The Big Bertha and The R7 Quad Driver.
Along with introducing new bafflers and iron sets to complete
its lineup of speed series clubs, Cobra Golf in 2007 also
will ramp up an emphasis on custom-fitting to help golfers
match the right clubs to their particular games. Called
the “Fit to Speed” system, Cobra’s fitting
process is fairly simple to understand and use.
Fit to Speed sessions can be conducted by certified
professionals using a Cobra Speed Monitor. The company has
placed monitors at more than 2,000 locations in the U.S. and
an additional 900 internationally. The process doesn’t
take long and general golfers can easily see how to match
their data to the recommended model of club.
