OUR TAKE
Three distinct constructions—full-hollow long irons, cavity-back short clubs and traditional wedges—progressively position the CG to aid control while adding a bit of refinement to Cobra’s distance iron. The groove patterns, too, are designed to optimize performance at different lofts. Meanwhile, the forged PWERSHELL faceplate (borrowed from the F series woods) uses variable thicknesses to spread the sweet spot across a broader swath of the face than a typical iron. As a topper, Cobra includes a free one-year subscription to the Arccos 360 platform, which provides GPS distances, club-by-club yardages and Tour-level analytics for your game.
FITTER COMMENTS
“Crazy forgiving. Produces mid- to lower launches with good spin control for players who need forgiveness but tend to hit their irons a little too high and with too much spin. Very good speed out of impact that’ll suit a wide variety of handicaps.”
