It is easier to hit this line closer to the face as the axis line is higher, but the benefit of the forgiveness is less and manufacturers have for years tried to get the compromise right.

Cobra are calling this the Zero Gravity CG position and the space analogies do not stop there, as they have worked with boffins on the International Space Station to research the best technology and materials to reduce weight without losing strength.

To get to this Zero Gravity position Cobra has reduced the weight of the crown using TeXtreme Carbon Fibre that is 20% lighter than normal Carbon Fibre and this is then moved to the outer reaches of the head to make it more forgiving.

Lowering the weight further is the SpacePort, which is the 16g circular weight in the sole made from aerospace aluminium.



 

obra King LTD Driver

The King LTD Driver represents Cobra's finest technologies without compromise. Created with the best materials and technologies, the King LTD Driver is the longest and straightest driver that Cobra has ever created. For the first time ever, take a look inside and see for yourself how pure distance is made.

Spaceport
A multi-purpose, 16-gram weight design strategically positions discretionary weight low and deep in the head, creating an extremely low center of gravity (CG) with high MOI - the perfect combination to deliver ultimate distance without any sacrifice of forgiveness. The multi-material translucent Spaceport design also works as a window and a removable Port, which for the first time allows the opportunity to view all the internal Cobra technologies that make this driver the Ultimate Distance Machine.

Spiralock
A locking thread system that prevents the over tightening or loosening of the large 16-gram Spaceport Weight during the heavy vibrations that occur during driver and high-speed ball impacts.

Forged 8-1-1 Titanium E9 Zone Face
A new, re-engineered Forged 8-1-1 Titanium E9 Face is a variable thickness structure that is lighter, thinner and hotter creating more deflection for faster ball speeds and a larger sweet zone across the face.

Speed Channel Face
Speed Channel is an exclusive Cobra innovation. An engineered trench around the perimeter of the face minimizes thickness and increases ball speeds across the face for incredible distance.

MyFly8 with SmartPad
Eight easily adjustable loft settings to manage trajectory and fine tune launch conditions to maximize distance on any course, and for any swing.

TeXtreme Carbon Fiber Crown TeXtreme Carbon Fiber yields a lighter crown (20% lighter than regular Carbon Fiber) allowing for more weight to be repositioned lower and deeper in the club head design to deliver extreme distance and greater forgiveness.
