I went to a local golf shop and hit the Cobra utility iron and let me tell you the ball explodes off the face of the club, I hit it in 19.5° loft I was averaging 235 carry with one monster hit of 260 carry. Graphite shaft and it felt great in the hands even my mishits were going 215 the club is forgiving and looooooooonngggg. You guys have to try one out and as soon as I get the $200 I'm buying one and in it goes to the bag

Is it similar to the Ping crossover club? I tried a "3" and wasn't hitting it amazingly, but rarely had bad shots. I just don't understand the point. Is it just a hybrid for people that prefer the iron look? I seem to hit hybrids better but I'm not really sure of the benefits between them. Sadly, Golf Galaxy never has cobra stuff ready to test, and won't remove the plastic, which is really annoying on the grip. I love my Cobra irons, wedges, and driver, but can't try the other stuff because they don't have any unwrapped. Really annoying.

I actually tested it side by side with the ping, hated the ping, too much offset and felt chunky on every hit. The cobra has a more piercing ball flight compared to a hybrid that I loved. I felt it was a hybrid that looked more like an iron but still had an iron like ball flight

Also try out the Cobra hybrids. The shafts for the standard heads are heavier than most other models, and the club drops nicely into place on shots.

I use a 22* Fly-Z 4H with a 75-gram Matrix VLCT Altus - Hybrid R-flex shaft.

I will check it out for sure but I have yet to find any Hybrid I hit as well as the Cobra Amp Cell.  I use the Amp Cell Driver and 4W as well

I'd like to put Cobra in for most under rated manufacturer. Everything they produce seems to be good and they actually make changes bit just release a new product for the sake of releasing. And the adjustability is the best in the industry.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
