Last week the USGA approved the Formula 6.5, Krank Golf’s first fully adjustable driver.
Like all Krank drivers the 6.5 features forged cup face technology. In fact, according to Krank, the 6.5 is the only 100% handmade, forged adjustable driver with Cup Face technology.
Unlike previous Krank drivers, the 6.5 offers up to 1° of loft/face angle adjustability (1/2° increments) from the hosel.
Long drive has entered the modern age. I suspect Krank fans are going to appreciate that.
The updated design allows Krank to continue with their heat treat process that allows it to achieve its desired face hardness specification, while introducing adjustability into its line for the very first time.
The weight for the new driver is 196 grams without the hosel adapter and 205 grams with it.
Krank has produced a short video that provides additional information.
The Krank Formula 6.5 will be available beginning late February or early March. Cost for the Formula 6.5 mirrors that of the Formula 6; $599 MSRP, $499 Retail.

This is now a “long ago” model for Krank. I would really love for someone like MGS to be able to test the new 7 vs. 7x ie conforming vs. non-conforming and identify did you get the results. I don’t care about comparing it to anything else. It will be interesting to see how many people are willing to grab the non-conforming driver. If you are not competing will your regular 4some care if you now have an advantage and start hitting it consistently 10 yards longer? Everyone always promises 10 yards does this deliver? Does it deliver that for 80mph? 90? 100? 105? These guys kind of have a little “snake oil” salesman feel at times, the direct to you, very controlled access, build on the rep of long-drive, only spokesman being a non-technical guy pitching but sometimes with a bit of science. Fit you over the web based on a kind of stock questionnaire (meaning you better be honest about length and have actually measured it on course or used a good launch monitor…which would mean they could just ask my launch conditions) but they are not in stores, they are not sending stuff off to all the web reviewers, I wonder if anyone even associated with a magazine or vlog let alone MGS were to order if they would sell to you? Come on Krank — the people want the truth.
