Hi All,

I got these very light, game improvement irons with their superlite regular flex shaft and have made significant inroads into improving my swing. I'm now looking for more distance and am looking for advice regarding the weight of these clubs and the flex of the shaft.

Would changing the shaft flex or perhaps considering a different weighted shaft and/or iron possibly give me more distance? Are the lofts of the f-max quite standard compared to other club sets? I'm finding I'm only getting about 120 yards with my 8 iron full swing hitting cleanly.

 

Shaft: F-MAX Iron / COBRA SuperLite Regular 49-55g Low-Mid Mid-High 0.370

    • Day 6: 2026.01.09 Some swing work in the mirror. Need to work on home setup to be able to get more out of evenings where I can't make it to the range.
    • I would like to amend my original comment on the new Maxfli irons. Yes, $800 for forged irons is a pretty good price and they do feel good BUT...I have since found out that $800 is only for off the shelf, standard issue clubs with standard lengths, lofts, lies and shafts. Any change made from stock results in huge up-charges so that the final price ends up pretty much the same as similar forged irons from any of the major manufacturers.
    • These were almost all included on the list of Clarifications or revised Model Local Rules released just a few days ago.  I'm pretty sure the first 3 are brand new MLRs (Moved/Wrong Place, Embedded Ball in someone else's pitch mark, Internal OB applies only to tee shot) that the PGA Tour is choosing to use.  The 16.1 Rule (relief near a Putting Green) was revised allowed a Committee to give relief for more than just Immoveable Obstructions, microphone holes would be classed as GUR (a hole made by the maintenance staff).  The replacement club rule was available before, the E-3 (Lift Clean and Place distance) could have been defined as "one scorecard" before, they're just a change in how the PGA choices. Here are the January 1 Clarifications and revised MLRs https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/rules-hub/clarifications-of-the-rules-of-golf.html#cp
