COBRA LAUNCHES AMP FAIRWAYS AND HYBRIDS

Monday, January 09, 2012
 
CARLSBAD, CA (January 1, 2012) – COBRA has launched AMP Fairways and
Hybrids designed for customized distance and accuracy. Similar to the AMP Driver, the
Fairways and Hybrids are packed with technology to improve your game and feature
black PVD and vibrant orange details on the club head, shaft and grip for added style.
“The AMP Fairways and Hybrids were designed with for all golfers seeking distance and
accuracy,” said Tom Preece, Vice President of Research and Development at COBRA
PUMA GOLF. “We’ve improved the construction with a 455 high strength steel face that
has over 1.5 times the yield strength of the 17-4 stainless steel body, resulting in a
lighter, hotter face.

The AMP Fairways were designed with a larger profile for increased MOI to provide
added forgiveness. A new, larger high strength steel face with E9 Face Technology TM
with dual roll provides a 5% thinner face for a larger Sweet Zone and added distance.
The AMP Fairways also feature Adjustable Flight Technology (AFT) , providing golfers
with three simple face angle settings, Open, Neutral or Closed, to optimize ball flight for
increased distance and improved accuracy. The Aldila RIP® Speed Tuned Fairway shaft
features a progressive weight design and El flex profiles for customized performance in
various swing speeds.

AMP Hybrids have a smaller, pear like shape for a more workable hybrid, a 455 high
strength steel face to promote long, penetrating ball flight and Adjustable Flight
Technology that promotes improved distance and accuracy. The premium Aldila RIP®
Hybrid shaft provides tip stability and control.

E9 Face Technology with dual roll

COBRA’s E9 Face Technology with dual roll utilizes an elliptical shape face that gives the
AMP Fairway a 30% larger Sweet Zone, resulting in more distance, accuracy and
forgiveness in shots hit from the low heel to high toe. COBRA tested golfers hitting more
than 25,000 shots and discovered that the majority of golfers hit shots across the face in
this canted, elliptical pattern. We redesigned our clubface to use this phenomenon to
the golfers’ advantage. We’ve added a new canted bulge with dual roll to now provide
added distance and accuracy to the shots hit above and below the centerline.
