Did you damage your wrist trying to swing 125 miles per hour?

Not necessary. No one cares 😂

My wife gets upset with me when I express my amazement over tour pros hitting shots crazy distances. I recall Tiger hitting a 6 iron something like 220 yards, about where my best drives go now at 70 yrs old.

I think a lot of us can't get over what kind of player we once were. I'm 40-50 yards shorter off the tee than I was in my best days. Technology has helped a bit, but not enough.

I see the charts of "How far you should hit your clubs" and they don't tell you that the charts are all in the old standard lofts not in the modern cranked lofts. So since I'm going through a little bit about FedEx lost my golf clubs and because of that Cobra might have to make me a new set, I went down and tried out some new clubs.

I decided to try out the Cobra MB/CBs. GC Quad. The 7 iron is 34 degrees and a muscle back. I hit it 143 yds. It was repeatable. I can hit the short iron part of this set with ease. But the yardage for the 7 iron is considerably less than my 155-160 with my old set. However, the shot was a lot more controlled. Next up? The 4 iron in the set. I hit this 170 yds. This would mean 4-GW with a 5H, 4H if I were to get this set. But can I game this set? Yes, I could if the planets were aligned. The 4 iron would be a struggle because it is not very forgiving of mishits. Mishits instead of being 15 yds short were 30 yds short and I really felt it. I probably wouldn't have much fun on an average day. 

I loved the look of them. Small club head and thin top line. That didn't bother me.

It's the long holes where it would get me. Average holes I could rely on driver + 7i - 9i. But if my driver wasn't clicking it would be a long day.

So there you have it. I hit a standard loft 7 iron 143 yds, and a standard loft 4 iron 170 yds. This is carry distance. I'm not lying about my distance.
