Holy Crap: New Cobra Muscle Backs

[The Gill]

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

[ArjunGFX]

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.

Those irons look amazing, are they already out? if so how long have they been out for?

[jmurdock]

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.

And your source is...? It's "their."

[jdumoit]

Those sure look like cavity back rather than muscle backs to me. :)

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.

[The Gill]

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.

They look almost identical to the Taylormade blades. Anyone know, who besides Ogilvy, is using them?

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.

[The Gill]

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.

Great clubs, hit them at a golf show... harder then my Mizzy's...

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

The MB's or the CB's?

According to the Cobra website, Camilo plays the CBs.
