I wonder if the tour pros will still be wearing the Cobra visors with the ProV1 logo on it?

I'm just awaiting delivery on my Cobra S2 Max irons. My game just wasn't progressing and I have to accept that I can't get the consistency I want from my Ping Eye 2+.

I've played Cobra woods and irons over the years, and I believe they are always a great choice for many "regular" golfers. They are forgiving, long, and reasonably priced. I switched to the TaylorMade's because I was flat out skying the FP irons I had. I owned the King Cobra oversize that Greg Norman pushed and thought I was cool, man. Those clubs were GREAT. I have considered going back to them on numerous occasions and rocking the straw hat...

It seems that recently, at least where I live, you just don't see Cobra in pro shops as much.

For me something that typed the edge to push me towards the S2 Max was looks. My MD bag is yellow, my driver is yellow and I think it looks really smart to match them up.

Last couple of years, the public course I play at sometimes seems to push Cobra irons. Seem to sell quite a few to seniors.

Here's problem with Cobra irons as I see it: Tremendous loft deflation. Want you to think you can hit a 7-iron 175 yds., etc. Here's how the S2 Forged stacks up to other popular irons on loft :

Club Model.....| 3i | 6i | 9i |
Mizuno MP57...|21º|31º|43º |
Call X22Tour...|21º|30º|42º |
Cob S2Forged.|19º|28º|39º |

Also, Cobra S2F has longer shafts. For metal-shafted 3 irons, S2F has 39", X22Tour has 39.0", and MP57 has 38.75".
Longer shafts + 19º 3-iron loft?: Sounds like a master plan to push sales of the Baffler.

Wow, my 9iron is the same loft as their PW.... I guess that would be ok if you weren't worried about spin when you get into the mid irons.

I finally got my S2max irons. They've been very forgiving so far. My shots are definitely straighter and a few yards longer. So far, they're a great set of GI irons.

I have a set of Oversized King Cobra II that are older but I really like them. I am looking at new irons and I am torn between the S2'2 and the callaway x-22's. As far as feel goes I really like the S2's but I have only been able to swing them in the store.
