COBRA Golf and Arccos Announce 2020 Single Club Upgrade Program
CARLSBAD, CA – Cobra Golf®, a leader in golf club innovation, today announced the extension of its partnership with Arccos Golf, providing purchasers of any COBRA CONNECT™ driver, fairway wood, hybrid or wedge with a special offer to receive free Arccos Caddie Smart Sensors for the rest of their set.
The 2020 Single Club Upgrade Program allows COBRA CONNECT customers who are not already Arccos Caddie users to download the Arccos Caddie app, create an account and pair their smart club. This unlocks the free sensor offer plus a 90-day no-cost trial of the Arccos Caddie platform, followed by a $99.99 annual subscription. Shipping and handling fees may apply.
Arccos Caddie helps players of all skill levels make smarter, data-driven decisions to shoot lower scores. Arccos Caddie Smart Sensors are embedded into each club grip and paired with the app to automatically track and analyze every shot on the course.
The average Arccos Caddie user who played at least five rounds in 2019 lowered their handicap by 4.2 strokes. This remarkable improvement was fueled by real-time club recommendations, strategy advice and outcome predications powered by artificial intelligence Arccos developed with Microsoft. Extending these benefits in 2020 is the newly-launched Arccos Caddie Rangefinder. It’s the world’s first A.I.-powered GPS rangefinder –providing adjustments for slope, wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and humidity, as well as a personal altitude adjustment based on each user’s home course. This gives golfers the Arccos Caddie Number, the most precise yardage in the game.
COBRA CONNECT clubs include the entire 2020 KING SPEEDZONE family. In developing these award-winning products, COBRA Golf engineers optimized specific zones throughout each club’s construction that work to deliver the best combination of power, speed and distance. Highlights include the KING SPEEDZONE Driver – offering a traditional shape profile with front to back CG adjustability allowing better players to work the ball with ease and fine tune launch and low spin without sacrificing forgiveness. This is complemented by the KING SPEEDZONE XTREME Driver – perfect for golfers seeking a consistent, straight trajectory with maximum forgiveness on off-center hits.

Cobra connect would be cool if you didn’t have to have a giant phone in your pocket. I have 3 clubs with the sensor and have never even downloaded the app because I’m not playing golf with a phone in my pocket. When I’m golfing my phone is in my bag, turned off.
