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
