What is Cobra equipment like? My pro shop has been recommending them to me, but I also know that the pro wears a lot of their tshirts, so maybe they give him a loada gear. So just worried that he might be just trying to increase his sales.

I bought a set of FP's last year and love them. If you are in the market for irons, give them a fair look.

Cobra is known for their drivers and woods they are good clubs in fact they are part of Titleist and if you look very closly u can probably c some similarities. A lot of the long drive hitters use Cobra drivers and Pinnacle ball which is also part of Titleist. i love titleist for there overall equip. they just know what they are doing

Im pretty good distance wise, im more looking for a club that will give me more control/accuracy and also a lower ball flight. Ive currently got graphite shafts in my clubs and their causing a lot of spin, lifting the ball up.

cobra isn't a bad selection but if you want a pure feel and control club you might want to take a look at Titleists' line of irons, they are forged as supposed to cobra's cast process. ball flight is controlled by your shaft selection, weight and type of shaft. You really don't want to lower your ball flight, you want a boring trajectory. Steel offers control, rifle shafts flatten a ball flight and allow you to control your flight without having to alter to many swing mechanics.

Cobra makes a superb line of clubs: those for the low handicap player as well as for those of us at the higher end of the scale. Their drivers, hybrids, and irons are terrific. I have no experience with their fairway metals, but I would bet the bank they're as good as the rest of their line. Check out their website. You'll find clubs there for almost every level player. As for anyone telling you one manufacturer's clubs are patently better than another, well, you just need to discount that person's advice. Determing what's best for you is something that only you can figure out based on trying different manufacturers' clubs. In any event, Cobra makes a very good product. Good luck to you.

Another vote for Cobra - very solid stuff, love my S9's. While I hit Taylor drivers, others in the family have Cobra drivers and fairway woods and love them. One of the 'can't go wrong' brands out there, IMO.

As you can probably tell, I love Cobra. It's got great distance whilst having great control, and you can use their equipment whatever the handicap. Obviously that's just my opinion because their stuff works best for me, but it's your choice, go out and try their stuff, along with others, and see what you find best, that's how I chose.

Well you have received a lot of endorsements for the Cobras in the last posts. You may be correct in assuming that the Pro could be pushing a brand of clubs over something else especially if he/she is on "staff" with the company. I have a friend on Cobra staff and while she is a teaching pro and doesn't sell, she loves their equipment. Also my brother-in-law just got the whole game improvement set-up and is playing the best he has ever played.

    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
