Featuring an adjustable weight system and MyFly8 technology, the new KING F7 Junior Driver comes equipped with COBRA CONNECT powered by Arccos technology, which allows you to track distance creatively and accurately. This new Junior Driver, available for approximate- ly $249, uses the same technology as the adult version. It has three separate CG positions in the front, back and heel for three very different ball flights. The heavier 8g weight in the front position creates a lower, penetrating ball flight with less spin and more roll. When the heavier weight is placed in the back position, it provides a higher, towering ball flight with added spin. This increas- es carry distance, with more forgiveness. When moved to the heel CG position, you will notice re- duced spin for straighter drives, especially good for correcting a slice. Kids are sure to like the Arccos-powered ultralight sensor that’s embedded in the grip of the club. This enables the player to automatically track distance and accuracy for every drive. Using this COBRA CONNECT technology, golfers simply pair their club with the free Arccos Driver smart phone app to receive their performance data and access rangefinder GPS distances for 40,000 courses. It even allows them to compete in the King of the Hole virtual long drive competition, as well as access product tech videos and golf tips from COBRA coaches and PGA Tour pros. This cutting-edge new driver features a re- engineered Titanium E9 face that is lighter, thin- ner and hotter, presumably resulting in faster ball speeds and a larger sweet spot. A lighter crown allows more weight to be distributed lower and deeper into the club head, to maximize distance. COBRA Golf offers a free shaft upgrade option for the KING F7 Junior Driver. Golfers can register their purchased driver on the cobragolf.com site and receive one free upgrade to a longer, firmer shaft when the need arises. SHINING LIGHTON A GROWING MARKET These two and other popular manufacturers may well lead the way to new marketing strategies that recognize the value of innovating for junior golf- ers. With such a large market out there — one with years and years of future buying potential — the time is ripe to give kids their rightful place at the consumer table.
