Hi,

Which of the two is the better super-game improvement iron Cobra Max or Cobra Fly-Z XL?  Which will yield better results for beginners?

This is going to sound like a cop-out, but it will depend on the golfer.  You should get a fitting, or at least try hitting each.

If you can't (or don't want to) do that, just flip a coin.  ;-)

I think Cobra Max has a slight hosel offset which is usually a good thing for beginners.

Cobra Max irons have distinct offset, which can help beginners with hand position. Set designed with low center of gravity to help with high launch. Middle irons are hollow, and short irons and wedges are cavity-back. Also had mix with low-end hybrids instead of irons.

Cobra FlyZ XL irons: reviews said they had a draw bias, and hit the ball high and fairly straight. Two mix variations: 4i-GW, and 4H-6H, 7i-GW.

They appear to be similar; not sure which one hit the market first.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.  It is greatly appreciated.  A fitting or hitting is not an option.

    • Day 39: did top golf for an hour with the family. It was fun but also not really like real golf at all. Also did some mirror work - working on the backswing stuff mostly. 
    • Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.  
    • Day 143 1-2 Arch wrist in downswing. Having a SLIGHT cup in the lead wrist at the top now. Only paused swings with some rehearsals before swinging at ball.  Used foam ball. 
    • Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).
    • Day 31 (2 Jan 26) - Usual Friday men’s group shootout - good day of shot making  as most shots were right on line to the target point.  Putter and green reads were solid with some great par saves and a really tricky birdie.
