I hit the CB at Demo Days. I had no idea they were making muscles. This may be the mixed set of the century. Those MB's are beautiful. RAC/T-Zoid looking, but beautiful.

I love what cobra is doing..Theyre drivers are selling like hotcakes now--and their irons look rediculously awesome...Theyr'e Research and development is top notch

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

Cobra has emerged as a powerhouse... used to be looked at as a "lower" Titleist but man they are on the top tier now. I might give the MBs a shot.

They have been out for at least a couple of weeks. I saw them in a local golf store and was just as amazed as everyone else seems to be. They look great at setup. I am going to hit them at my club's demo day later this month, but they will be hard pressed to beat out my mizunos.

From the article:

The Cobra Speed LD was the #1 selling driver in the UK for the majority of 2007*,

What is that asterisk for? I couldn't find the explanation anywhere.

Let's stay on point people. This is about these sexy looking irons. No hate allowed in here. This post is very Zen.

I talked to the local Titleist/Cobra rep. The cavity backs are out. The MB are won't be in my area until the end of the month. I'm going to start saving my beans. A 4-GW set may be heaven.

I *almost* pulled the trigger on the old Cobra CB's but went to MP-32's.

Uhm, that's not a good source. First off, it's got an asterisk. Second, it's the UK (a small country - so who cares if it's flying off the shelves there, it may be quite different elsewhere in countries with larger populations). Third, it's LAST YEAR's model.

Agree with the posts above: back on topic - new Cobra irons.

You could make the argument that they look like Mizuno T-Zoid Pro IIs more than anything. My brother has had them for years and almost hit the grooves out of them.



I like his Mizunos, but they almost too soft (muddy feeling). I think they’re 1025 steel with a soft nickel chrome. The Cobras are 1020 (a little softer) with a little harder chrome. The CB’s at demo days felt softer than Mizunos, but more crisp. So think of a club softer than a Mizzy, but with a crisper sound and feel.

Usually you can tell how well a club is selling by seeing how many people have it. Also, chances are if it would be flying off the shelves in one country it would do the same in another.

Yes back on topic... the new irons

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
