For the mid to high handicap player (and cost), you cannot beat the Cobra S9 or FP irons. Don't you agree? When you apply the Mizuno, Titleist and Taylor Made irons, then we are looking more at the lower handicap golfer or the mid handicap golfer who is near the low handicap golfer.

Never hit the other clubs. But I've played with the 775s and they are idiot sticks. THey have extra strong lofts and very low center of gravity. My mom could probably carry a 9-iron 130 with these clubs. Moreover, the lower or mid handicapper won't be able to work the ball well and should stay away from the 775s.

Now, now, youngster. Let's not disparage one man's sceptre as another man's idiot stick. Besides, even though your very capable mom may be able to hit a ball 130 yards with a nine iron, not all of us have her extraordinary prowess with a golf club, not to mention her strength. I would also beg to differ on your assessment that a low or mid handicapper wouldn't be able to work the ball with these clubs. I've seen skilled golfers work the ball with super game improvement irons, such as the Callaway Hawkeye VFTs, much less mere game improvement clubs like the 775s. I have myself witnessed fades, draws and even (gasp!) hooks with the 775s. I have even made a few of those shots myself, sometimes intentionally. Now if you wish to play your game with a fireplace poker, well, you go boy! Who am I to say you can't get what you need from a poker. But, please, while you are certainly entitled to your opinion and have every right to express it in this forum, let's try to be a bit more respectful of others' choices and skill levels. Thanks.

Well- my handicap is pretty low. I can draw, fade, hook or slice any iron you hand me, including super game improvement clubs like Cally X20s.

I have demoed the 775 CB, and I think it's a very good golf clubIMHO it's a much better club than the Cobra FP or Cally X20. You are entitled to your opinion, but posts like yours make people believe you can't really play. BTW- I do plan to replace my Mizunos and am looking at Titleist 695, Srixon 701 and maybe an Epon or Tourstage.

Took out demo #6 irons of both the Cobra S9 and FP. The S9 by far is the easiest to hit of the two irons. Both had graphite lite shafts in them. I have to say that I would have to go with the S9 irons for a high handicap golfer like myself.

just cant go wrong w/ titleist and mizuno for right now just in looks i say titleist but maybe the mizuno will feel better. it seems to me that titleist is become very big in the iron mrkt. i was resently in the mrkt myself between titleist 695mb and mp-32. the 695 felt softer and more balance than the mp-32 but they are both are very good brands

    • The fact that I live in a world where there is a such a thing as "golf influencer" bugs me!
    • FWIW I just measured a 2% slope on my practice green at 9 feet and it was 9-10" of break from the center of the cup. 
    • Day 5 - Mostly grip work, trying different things, feeling the changes when swinging.
    • Most of people does it! (but none over the ball) Gave it time.. Hehe...  Funny story... almost a decade ago I started to aim 3..4 fingers away from penalty hazards on long shots. At 270 yards, each finger is around 10 yards sideways (I got to that number experimenting at my home course and using google maps). Been my dispersion around 70/80 yards this almost put the penalty hazard out of play for me. But most importantly I found a way to measure distance sideways on a golf course.  Of course till today everybody ask me what am I doing with my fingers on tee shots, even on approach shots.  Last year, playing a mid-Am I was paired up with a guy with a caddie, the caddie was his friend but also a decent golf PRO. After a couple of holes he asked me what I was doing and he pulled out his phone to show me an app or "system" that can be purchased were it tells you how much a finger is in yards from different distances. Of course if I could figure out how to measure distance sideways in a golf course many people can do the same and make it a trend an even sell it so... you never know! Thanks for the info. The patch is getting worse... more accurate but less intuitive to follow. I rather look funny doing aimpoint on my knee and just use 1 simple formula than using this patch.    I invite you to measure it yourself, don't trust my numbers. Even your arm length, height and finger width are going to change the numbers. Over the 3 footer was clear that my fingers were farther away from the hole standing up than the others. (even with the arm stretch issue i will explain in the next paragraph) Over the 9 footer I agree with you that it should be the longest of the 3 but in practice it wasn't. My best guess is the arm position on each set up. Standing tall the arm is in front of the body aiming a little down, really easy to stretch. Kneeling, because of my spine been tilted forward (20/30°)  the arm is aiming to the front but more up been a little harder to stretch. Laying on the floor the arm is pointing over the shoulders making it even harder to stretch. The less the arm is stretched, the less distance the fingers are from the eyes resulting in bigger results. At this distance it started to matter, but not on shorter ones.     
    • So, trying out different feels with pitching. I find feeling my right hand controlling the movement to produce better results.
