The King Cobra is the second release using the retro Cobra name. The ball is not so much a remake of the ball nine years ago as it is a new release that has the same name. This King Cobra uses the same light bulb shaped core with a low RG and while the differential is still on the low side, it is almost double what was used in the Cobra Special Edition. The differences between the two do not stop there. The coverstock has been tamed from the F74 down to F55. The combination of all these elements gives the King Cobra a superior reaction on our test patterns.

We started on the heavy. Cranker loved his reaction on this pattern. He could catch the King Cobra all he wanted at the bottom without it over-reading the friction. His carry was above normal. The King Cobra kept the pins low and he could strike light or high flush and everywhere in between. Tweener was also pretty fond...
