Cobra King Ltd v's F6 plus drivers.

MG 1977 · February 12, 2016

I'm going to a local store tomorrow to try all the 2016 offerings. Has anybody hit the King LTD and the F6 plus head to head. I will be doing tomorrow but just wanted to gather a few opinions before hand.

As well as the Cobra's i'm also planning on hitting the Nike Fly vapor Pro and TM M2. Winner goes in the bag for 2016.

Yes cant go wrong with either one and they have 14 non-upcharge shafts to choose from

MG 1977 · February 12, 2016

Which one won out for you and why?

fujiman.757 · February 12, 2016

The LTD loved the sound and lower spin for me

I went with the LTD for feel and the overall performance. I could hit the F6 a smidge further on best strikes, but the LTD gave me a bit better dispersion and ball speed on mishits. Numbers were so similar. They're both great drivers and it's going to come down to preference for most people. But for me, the sound and feel of the LTD might be the best I've ever hit.

F6 + crown looks better but the LTD sounds, feels, and produces better numbers for me.

I didn't end up choosing either, kept my G30, but the LTD won on feel, look and ball speed/spin, F6 better on mishits. Dispersion was very similar on my trials.

I really like both. Obviously the feel,is better with the ltd. but when you nut the f6 plus outdoors with a nice soft ball it's feel super powerful. I have no official numbers with mine, but on course testing with similiar shaft produced similiar results, I would not even worry about how long they go. Both are plenty long,and low spin, although some here have noticed the king being a low launcher, this is surprising to me. I have only a few rounds with both my f6 plus and ltd but for me the are the best drivers cobra have made.

The LTD feels and sounds amazing. For me, it spun more than I expected. If the spin model fits your swing, it's an easy winner.

The F6+ fit my swing better and is definitely more adjustable. That can be good or bad. I've only played two rounds with mine so far along with a lot of range time and I'm still tinkering with the settings, getting good results from both ends of the adjustability spectrum (higher loft, weight forward / lower loft, weight back). It feels significantly better with the weight in the 4 or 5 position. The weight forward position (I prefer the #2 spot) can launch high, low spinning bombs.

If you're chasing low spin you'll probably prefer the F6+, but the LTD is fantastic as well.

F6+ I liked the LTD. But once I go the F6 dialed in man is it a bomber. The LTD has a slightly nicer feel/sound but negligable.

The F6+ does sound/feel weird with the weight all the way forward but with it back it's almost same as LTD. But higher launch lower spin least for me.

I did not think the f6 weight moved forward was that much different feeling than the back position at impact. And to me it felt much "weirder" in the back position, so much so that when I took my first practice backswing with it I had to stop, it was such a different feeling than the front position. Nonetheless The weight really works. Way better than the flyz plus flip zone.

You're talking the F6 and there I agree the weight feels better forward (same on the FW for me)

I was referring to the F6+.

Would agree with what is said here. Both great drivers, but the F6+ gives you more ability to find the spin you want. The LTD you will have to find the correct shaft...not that you don't with the F6+ but the moveable weight gives your more flexibility.
