Cobra Speedzone Tour... new F6 Baffler?

[Mych]

A couple of reviews of the Speedzone Tour have mentioned the design similarities between it and the F6 Baffler. When I recently demoed the Tour 3W (@14*) and I was amazed at how easy it was to hit and liked how it sets up like my F6 Baffler.

So I had a couple of questions...

1) Did they keep the shortened shaft and heavier head-weight like the F6 Baffler?

2) I noticed the less pronounced rails on the Speedzone Tour, but I was indoors so I couldn't get a feel for the turf interaction. Has anyone hit it outside yet? How does it compare?

3) I noticed that the "stock" lofts are 14 and 17.5. The 17.5 would essentially be a direct replacement for the F6 Baffler, correct?

4) On the indoor mats I wasn't having any issues elevating the 14, which was great, but now I'm concerned that the 17.5 would balloon if the 14 is actually getting that high. For those who have hit them outdoors, any feedback about height/flight?

 

Thanks!

From the specs I don't think it's as short or heavy as the F6. Also, I think the F6 has a little taller face.

There is no club like the F6 Baffler. The newer, smaller headed cobra fairways (f8+, F9 tour, speedzone tour) are similar, but not the same. Shaft is longer and the heads are lighter.

Disappointed to hear the tour isn't close to the baffler. Need a replacement as mine is getting a bit long in the tooth
