First time poster here and I can't seem to make up my mind between the Cobra F-Max irons/hybrids or the Callaway Steelhead XR irons/hybrids combo sets on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods.  I am a 48 yr old high handicapper just trying to break 100 each time out (not very successful normally) and am looking to upgrade from some 10-12 year old Tommy Armour clubs.  Any thoughts/advice/opinions/reviews would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello and welcome to TST! The obvious first question would be ....have you hit them both? It’s the only definite way to make a solid, informed decision. If you’re not going to test them...FWIW I played the Callaway Steelhead irons and didn’t care for the very ‘clunky’ sound they made. Cheers.

Welcome to TST.   @vinsk gave you some great advice.   I realize with the down time everyone has right now it is the optimum time to practice.   You don't want to make a mistake and buy a set of clubs w/o testing them and then realize you don't like them.    Check and see Dick's  return policy.     

Good luck

Welcome to TST. I would recommend the Cobra. I have a friend who is a high handicapper who just bought a complete set of the Cobra F-Max, got a great deal at Dicks, and he loves them. I have tried the clubs and like them as well. But as said above you really need to go to Dicks, or elsewhere, and hit both sets of clubs, see which ones you like.

I've played Cobra clubs for years, all my woods and driver are Cobra. I did however switch my irons to Cleveland HB Launchers because I really like the hybrid design. I shoot in the 90s myself, I need all the help I can get.

Best of luck and enjoy the search.

      Day 51: Another long day, so another mirror work day. Again, focused on cleaning up set up and then not straightening the trail leg as much in the backswing. Need to feel like my knees stay a little more bent.

      Day 595 - 2026-05-19 Got some short game work in today during some lessons. Made a lot of putts too. Without trying. Golfer kept chuckling.

      Day 15, May 19.  Today, after work (in stages), I hit two dozen practice balls at home.  Slow swings, focusing on the lifting of the arms as per my latest lesson.

      Day 70 (19 May 26) - weekly 9 hole session with my good friend this morning, however the better session was this afternoon with my grandson.  He put in for nine holes of match style play (we did stroke count as well).  The rules - I had to play from my regular tees but with irons only (no metal woods or hybrids (nothing with head covers)) while he played from the most fwd tees with his full bag.  Was a fun match and watching his competitive juices flowing.  He won the match 1/0 holding the lead as we tied the ninth.  Stroke wise it was a messy nine for me and he beat me by one stroke - not bad for a 10yr old.  Best of all - it was a dream session come true.
