After spending hours over a period of weeks scouring the internet for an iron set that is reasonably priced, I have found the now-superceded Cobra AMP Cell ladies set.  I really probably should get a - 1 set (am 5'1") but the price is excellent compared to at least double the price for later models.  I'm not into the absolute latest in anything if it means paying a whole lot more for marginal difference in performance.

I have read in some reviews that the technology is very similar to the Fly-Z apart from one tweak.  I am returning to the game and am reasonably confident hitting irons.  I don't find them difficult at all, although I'm not physically powerful in stature.  This set would be ideal matched with my existing Lady Cobra II driver and 3 wood. 

Would like to hear of any significant reasons not to purchase. I have no idea how much it costs for an iron set to be cut down in shaft length.


I currently play the Cobra BioCell irons. I have no negatives to report. I'll probably play these for years. I've never read anything negative about Amp Cell irons.

There's a bit more to this than cutting off an inch. There's lie angle or the way the club head strikes the ground when you swing. That should be fit, too. You may or may not need a different than standard lie angle. An incorrect lie angle can affect ball flight.

I'm on the opposite end. I'm tall and need +1" and a +2 degree upright lie angle.

Cutting the shaft - sometimes they can save the grip, sometimes not. If they can't you'll need a new grip. Some places here in the US won't even save the grips or will charge for saving the grip anyway. You can be looking at about $10 to $20 per club depending upon whether they save the grip.

    • OK - I think we should narrow down a weekend, and start there.  We're going to try to do this in June. I've created a Doodle poll where everyone can vote for the options that work for them.  Please include your username so I can track/post results. Doodle Doodle is the simplest way to schedule meetings with clients, colleagues, or friends. Find the best time for one-to-ones and team meetings with our user-friendly calendar tool. Get started today! (I only put in the Saturday dates, but assume the outing would include Friday - Sunday). Once we select a date that works for the most people, I'll start to line up courses and schedule and go from there.
    • Option #2 because I'd add the condition that it's in a tournament. Because that'd mean I'd break par in a tournament. And I already have a hole in one.
    • Hole in one is nice, but those low rounds stick in my memory better. I have two holes in one (and a third on a pitch and putt course which I count as a half). I've shot in the 60s three times in the last 10 years or so and I remember each one pretty well. I'd take the low round.
    • Would You Rather #68: Would you rather make a hole-in-one on a perfectly struck shot, during a round where you otherwise played pretty poorly.  or  Would you rather play well all day and beat your personal best by let's say 3 strokes, but with no eagles.    I'd take option 2.   Although option 1 is always exciting, and rewarding. playing well all day is very exciting because I can also do the opposite. 
    • I've got two of them.  So for me it depends. If I'm playing with friends and they know me. I'm taking the hole-in-one. Because they know my game anyway. Let's go for the awesome moment/bragging rights.  If I'm in a tournament I'm taking the low round, because I want to win.  If I'm playing with a bunch of strangers, and I just show up, and get paired up. I'm leaning toward taking the low round. I could leave them thinking I'm better than I am. Plus for me that would be a 73. ... That would be cool.
