Players Distance Fairway Wood

The King F6 was Cobra's headline adjustable driver for 2016, and it landed at a moment when the company was trying to prove it belonged next to the big names in the driver conversation. It has an 8-position MyFly8 loft system and a front-to-back weight you can move yourself, so a golfer can push the ball flight up or knock spin off without a trip to the fitter. Cobra classes it toward the players-distance end of the range, meaning it wants distance but keeps a shape and feel a better ballstriker will appreciate.

What set the F6 apart in 2016 was the grip. This was the first driver to ship with Cobra Connect built in, an Arccos sensor tucked into the butt end that tracks every drive to your phone. Nobody else was doing that at the factory level, and for a golfer who actually wants to know their real driving distance and dispersion, it turned the club into a data tool as much as a piece of equipment.

The high-launch setup here is the point. Set the loft up and slide the weight back, and the F6 gets the ball climbing for players who fight a low, spinny miss or just need help getting it airborne. It won't turn a slice into a draw on its own, but the draw loft settings and the tunable launch give you real room to work.

• You launch the ball low or spin it too much and want a driver you can set up to climb without buying a whole new shaft.
• The built-in Cobra Connect tracking appeals to you and you want real on-course distance and dispersion numbers, not range guesses.
• You are a mid to lower handicap player who wants distance but still cares about how the head sits and feels at address.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Cobra King F6 and the F6+?

The F6 is the 460cc higher-launching head aimed at a wider range of players. The F6+ is a smaller, more compact 440cc/460cc tour head built to spin less and fly lower for faster swingers and better players. If you need launch and forgiveness, the standard F6 is the one. If you flight it too high already, the F6+ was the answer.

How does the adjustable weight on the King F6 work?

There is one moveable weight that sits either in the front or the back of the sole. Front lowers launch and cuts spin for more of a piercing flight. Back moves weight rearward for higher launch and a bit more forgiveness. You swap it with the same wrench that adjusts the loft.

What loft settings does the MyFly8 system offer?

MyFly8 gives you 8 settings covering roughly 9 to 12 degrees, including several draw-biased positions. The SmartPad keeps the face square at address across all of them, so changing loft doesn't leave the face looking open or shut.

Is the Cobra Connect grip sensor still useful today?

The F6 was the first driver with an Arccos sensor built into the grip, and the tech still works if you pair it with the Arccos app, though you'll likely need a current subscription and phone compatibility can vary on older gear. As a used buy, treat the tracking as a bonus rather than the reason to buy.

Is the King F6 a good driver for a mid handicapper in 2026?

For a mid handicapper it holds up fine as a value pick. The adjustability lets you tune launch to your swing, and the E9 face still delivers respectable ball speed. You won't match the raw forgiveness or speed of the newest drivers, but on the used market the F6 gives you a lot of tuning for the money.
