New Cobra Player's Irons

Cobra shows it's got better players in mind, too

By Mike Stachura

Cobra may have had notable success in making clubs for average golfers who need help getting the ball in the air as easily as possible, but it isn’t taking a pass on players with a more sophisticated array of demands.

It’s certainly made the case in drivers and fairway woods with the Cobra Fly-Z+, and now the company is bringing the same better player focus to the iron game. Two new forged irons, the Fly-Z Pro and the Fly-Z+, will be in stores this week and the emphasis is on precision and shot-making in a compact, better-player-friendly shape and sole width.

A key element in both irons is the five-press forging process. That methodology is designed to limit the post-forging hand grinding and improve the consistency of the internal structure of the carbon steel from head to head, as well as better control of the head weights. Furthering the precision are a CNC-milled face and grooves.
