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.

Focus, connect and follow through!

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.

    • Context:  I am on vacation, so I don't have access to my indoor practice room, and I won't for about a month. Day 12 (August 22).  Today's weather was not one where even I was going to be outside.  For whatever reason, I didn't do the putting drill today.  There was a drill I remembered from this site (the article was something akin to "five things you can do to improve that don't require talent") that involved having an iron along the back from stance, moving to backswing and holding, then moving to forward swing and holding.  So I did that for five minutes today. I also spent 90 minutes at the gym;  my main motivation for getting stronger is golf related (and I really should get back to Fit For Golf  specific workouts;  I'm not sure when I lost that habit, a poor choice on my part that I did).  Funny story, I spent 20 minutes on the Stairmaster today at the gym (the rest was weights and rests), a device I started with shortly after I took up golf because I read something about it in a Butch Harmon book.  I should be following FFG Mike's fitness advice though, not some memory of someone else.  
    • Day 8 8-22 Worked on backswing length and getting some speed in backswing. Recorded swings. Was happy with practice session tonight. 
    • Day 325 - 2025-08-22 Practiced for almost an hour after cleaning my cabinets to account for the new GEARS cameras and helping @OBlum for a bit. Exaggerating the same old things.
    • Yea, faster greens = shorter putting stroke. You can be more accurate.  Really, I think people who struggle with distance control struggle just as much on slow greens as fast greens. I've seen people blast putts 10-FT past the hole on 8 or 9 STIMP as much as 11-12 STIMP.  I prefer faster greens. Usually means the putting surface is better and again, shorter putting stroke.
