Cobra introduces F-Max Superlite driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons

Targeting golfers with moderate swing speeds, Cobra’s F-Max Superlite series includes the company’s lightest woods ever and easy-to-launch irons.

Cobra originally introduced the F-Max line in 2017. With the Superlite incarnation, Cobra has achieved significantly lighter clubs overall.

F-Max Superlite drivers are six grams lighter than the previous generation with an MOI over 5,000. The stock Superlite shaft is also five grams lighter with a grip that is seven grams lighter, as well. The Superlite driver also features a 6-4 titanium variable thickness face and an internal weight pad that position weight low and toward the heel of the club.

Men’s, women’s drivers pictured.

“We are very excited about this driver; we’ve been able to engineer an incredibly forgiving, powerful club and keep the overall clubhead weight to less than 300 grams,” said Tom Olsavsky, Vice President of R&D for Cobra Golf. “The F-Max Superlite Driver will be the perfect solution for players who need the added speed of lightweight design without sacrificing forgiveness; those that will benefit from having a club that allows them to maximize their swing speed and launch angle.”

The F-Max Superlight fairway woods feature a low profile, shallow face forged from 455 stainless steel. A 55-gram Superlite shaft is standard. Available lofts include 16 degrees, 20 degrees and 23 degrees in right-hand and 16 degrees and 20 degrees in left-hand.

F-Max Superlite irons are four grams lighter than their predecessors. The high MOI irons feature a shaft that is five grams lighter and grip that is seven grams lighter as well. Cobra touts the irons’ progressive hosel, which strategically position the center of gravity for optimal launch.

“Building off of the success of our original F-Max lightweight design, we’ve reengineered Superlite to be our lightest, fastest and most forgiving game improvement clubs ever. Any player with a moderate swing speed will benefit from the design innovations in this product line,” said Olsavsky.

The final piece of the puzzle, F-Max Superlite hybrids are both included in the combo iron sets and available for stand-alone purchase. Once again, these are the lightest clubheads, grip, and shafts the company has produced in a hybrid. A 455 high-strength stainless steel insert face boosts ball speed across the face. The hybrids feature the same strategic internal weighting as the woods, as well.

Men’s F-Max Superlite hybrids are available in 3H (19 degrees), 4H (22 degrees), 5H (25 degrees), 6H (28 degrees) and 7H (31 degrees).

The Superlite line is available Oct. 5 in store and on website. Details on available lofts, pricing, and women’s models can be found there.

It looks like a beautiful and peaceful place, would be nice to go play golf or just sit and relax for while in a good weather. Places like these should be promoted more.

Ever notice how equipment manufacturers seldom/if ever show their new club heads in the address position….could it be because they look nearly identical to their last 10 models they introduced as revolutionary? lol!

So how many grams are the drivers?! That would seem to be something that should have been included in the story.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
