Drive for Show T


BY TOM DELLNER PHOTOGRAPHY BY AARON OLSON here was more buzz


surrounding this year’s PGA Merchandise Show than the industry’s seen in a decade. And thanks


to signifi cant engineering breakthroughs, no


category garnered more attention than this year’s


crop of new drivers. Here’s fi ve of the best in show that are guaranteed to turn some heads in 2016.


The club’s sweetspot is slightly below the center of the clubface.


Cobra King F6


Knuth Golf High Heat


>


The “Knuth” in KNUTH GOLF is Dean Knuth, who enjoyed a long career as the Senior Director of the USGA’s Handicap Department. According to Knuth, it’s the only driver made with a center of gravity (CG) low enough to position the club’s sweetspot slightly below the center of the clubface, which is where many amateurs tend to make contact. The result? Thin-feeling drives will be replaced by sweet spot-propelled moonshots.

F6 Driver is its dual-position, front-to-back CG system. Move the sliding weight back for more forgiveness, a higher trajectory and more carry. Position it forward and you’ll immediately notice a more boring trajectory and extra roll. The F6 also features a re-engineered forged face designed to be lighter, thinner and hotter, as well as Cobra’s Speed Channel, which is said to increase ballspeed on impact away from the center of the face. Further adjustability comes in the form of eight diff erent loft settings.
