#GolfReview #CobraIrons #NewGolfIrons
I tried these in a fitting for fun. I’m more of a players iron guy. There were something I’ve never experienced. I hit them all over the face and they were long and forgiving even when you missed the sweet spot. They felt hollow and clicky but they were great irons. I could carry the 7 around 195/200 and it launched high and easily. If I were older and lacked speed, these might be in my bag.
I've just bought these - my old Mizuno's (about 2005) were alright but not forgiving (I'm very amateur). Tried the cobra's at AG and even when I mis-hit, they were more forgiving and carried a good 20 yards further. When I hit it clean - I was getting to 175 yards with a club head speed of 81mph. I was very pleased!
How are they holding up? Thinking about buying them I’m using some old Callaway x20s right now.
I had a fitting this morning at AG Plymouth. Great experience and ordered a full set of these. They're just a great feeling iron. Now let the 4 week wait commence 😬😬
I got fit to the cobra rad speed irons, I absolutely love them. They’re my first “premium” sets of clubs that I bought. The sound they make and the feel they have are truly amazing.
Premium price but not premium quality.
I've gone from the King Cobra II (90s), to the F6, and then to the F9 which I still game; they have all been great. I've been considering the LTDx because of the strong lofts, I'm 60 and chasing distance to replace strength of my youth.
l think mizuno, Titleist and Taylormade have a help groups. Please don't suffer anymore and seek help. I haven't seen my cobra baffer rescue for 15 years..RIP😢
Had to go to stronger lofts myself to compensate for age. Went with a fitted set of 0211 dc2s and just waiting for the next season.
I was intent on purchasing Mizuno Hot Metal either forged or Pro's when I went in for a fitting, also swung Ping G425's and my current '96 Big Bertha's when I was asked if I wanted to try the LTDx irons. I was stating during the fitting that I care more about results than looks and my better golfer friends making fun of my clubs. I immediately noticed that these were lighter and overall better balanced. After about a dozen hits I switched back and forth with each club again and ultimately decided to buy the LTDx irons as the distance was consistent even with missing the sweet spot. The diagram was also clear as I had a small circular grouping on the "map" versus the other clubs. My friends will only laugh until I outplay them. I can't wait to break 90 consistently this year!
Had 5 sets of cobra irons , absolutely love them , fitted into Forged tec a couple of months ago and couldn’t be happier
I play the Radspeed OL and love them. Dropped my hdcp over old set by 6 strokes(11->5) over two months.
I dont like the look of the clubs, but i am impressed by the performance. Thanks for the review. As always, best reviews out there.
Had cobra amp cell irons for years. Absolutely perfect
Have been using a set of Cobra Amp irons for a few years now. In my opinion Cobra as a brand is very underrated.
Game improvers for all! Love the "We have a thing called sarcasm in the UK. Quite Interesting, really" 😂🤣😂 Well done, Mark. Mr. Cool 4 eyes. Love your content and sense of humor.
Love them cobras forever great irons
I went in to get fit today planning to purchase the new P790's. The guy happened to have the Forge Tec and LTDX sitting there as well. The Forged TEC felt just like the P790 but longer. Then for the hell of it I hit the LTDX. I was floored, couldn't believe it. I was carrying a 7 iron 200+. The bad strikes still carried 165+. I purchased the cobra's. Can't wait to play them this weekend!
Just wondering what ur handicap is and if u still play these
I'm a 20 hcp and I've been gaming Cobra Radspeed irons for the last 8 months and I love them.
I've played Cobra irons for years. I currently play the F9 One Lengths. I don't see a reason to change. I've used Game Golf in the past and tried Shot Scope. Game Golf was fun because I could play against a friend of mine across the country.
I've been playing a set of Cobra King Forged CB/MB irons more than 3 years now, and I love them. Not sure if I'll ever really swap away from them or if I'll turn into that guy who's still playing Silver Scot irons 20 years on. Cobra makes a stellar set of irons.
Like always Mark, great analysis on new products. It's fun to watch and gives us "players" a better understanding of what's new on the market and how it could fit in our bags. 👍👍
I like the Rad Speed one length better. I like how they broke up the top line on the Rad speed. The LTD irons top line looks to fat. Just my preference. I ordered the Radspeed one length in 5,6 and 7 to replace my PXG 0211 5,6,and7. These are much easier to hit. They feel a little bit heavier and I like that. great vid.
Mark you are one of the best on CZcams. You and Matt keep me laughing. I love the sarcasm. Great review.
Very kind
Went for an iron fitting today with no particular brand in mind. By then end of the session I'd tried pretty much all of the current GI irons and narrowed it down to these and titleist t300. These were slightly more consistent for me and when you caught one pure felt perfect. If it wasn't for the fitting process though these would not have been my first choice. I think if you're in the market for a GI iron a fitting is essential
Had a similar experience when you really flush it these go further and feel better than anything else. My swing speed is around 80mph
Just curious what’s ur handicap?
They’ve gotten better since the king forged tec which I think are lovely
I recently got fitted for Radspeed irons, have had about 4 rounds with them and loving them. Sound can be a bit funny on some off centre hits.
Tried Arccos last summer because of the free trial. I'm keeping it.
So... I wanted to watch this because I just bought these, and I'll be honest, my irons are by far my best part my game and if I can hit my short irons further, that's going to make things so easy for me, at my fitting, I hit my 7 iron 190 sometimes 200 carrying, so yeah, I'm going to be a sharpshooter from 200 and in with these irons
The last time I used arccos it did not allow you to designate that a shot was not a full shot therefore when I played a lot of shots that were knock downs or 3/4 shots it screwed up my full swing numbers. In the end after 40 rounds I ditched them.
difference being you moved the target line over to the middle of the green. Always love your work Mark
Mark, you are so full of drama. This makes you fun to watch.
Bought an extended length set from Silvermere a few months back, as a 62 year old newbie i can say they are great, bloody long if you are not careful but sweet to hit lways.
I love the review and the honest assessment. I look to you for great advice and believe i found the clubs for me. I tried them and love them. Will definitely recommend your reviews to all my golf buddies. Thank you.
I think arccos has fallen behind shot scope on the plug in stat collectors. I like the new handheld shot scope that's coming soon, from what I can gather you tap the club to the unit and it tags the shot that way so you can collect stats even when you're playing by yourself of an evening and hitting more than one ball without it clogging up the data.
Shotscope membership is also free.
Big chunky Arcoss sensors suck. They need to have more grip options with the sensors embedded. Or you can just log every shot as you play. Not as difficult as it sounds. Good review, Mark. Thanks.
I got fitted this evening and these irons were the ones for me.
I’ve never played Cobra irons. I’ve only hit them in a bay, but it I do like them. Star Trek is right! LOL. It’s very Bryson. Even better is the discussion at the end and throughout the review about the marketing of these irons being for ALL levels. GAME IMRPOVEMENT FOR ALL!!! I think if the I were in the market I would have a look at these.
Great review Mark! By the way, coming from an American in the south I think you've got a great sense of humor.
I have not liked the last couple of generations of Cobra irons because they used the back of the club as an advertising billboard and got the most brand messages possible on the back of it in a very "shouty" style.
I am pleased to see that Cobra have toned down the advertisement on the back of the club but it still looks far to busy and shouty to me. Compare it to the clean lines of the Mizuno 225 and Cobra is very much the ugly sister compared to the Cinderella of the Mizuno.
But the performance is pretty good, where you would expect with the lofts of this clubs
I'm not a Cobra insider, so I don't know for a fact what happened to the arcos grips. But I do know that Arcos has been impacted by the global microchip shortage. The cost of the sensors has skyrocketed. I would hazard a guess that they literally can't afford to put grips on every club knowing that some (probably fairly high) percentage of players won't end up signing up for a subscription.
I'm a fan of the ONE length Irons.
Love my Cobra F Max 1st set of clubs.
You can still get the Sensor’s in the grips if you do a custom order and pay the up charge when ordering though Cobra’s website. I have set of the LTDx one length on order, still waiting for them to ship. Thanks for the review..
I think these look quite nice, top line looks pretty chunky but if the offset isn't too bad then it wouldn't bother me. Like the shape of the wedge. Best looking cobra gi iron since the f8
My first set of clubs were “king snake” some knock off cobras, they were awesome 😅. Would def look at the new cobra ltd driver though. Irons I will stick with my ap3 for now
just sold my cobra forged one... because the flex was wrong... just got 4-p Srixon ZX5 and i love them
I like Cobra as a company, they make good products with fair prices. I gaming F9 Irons because I'm getting old and stiff. Need the extra yards 😁 Im not a fan of arcos btw
I have the driver of those irons and it is great, but very hard to find the center. I tried these irons and I found them to be loooonnnggg but good
Love the MIM Tours, need to improve my game a bit more before I make the move.
Have recommended the Forged Tec irons to a few friends.
I think you can still do the sensors in the grips but I think you have the options to do standard grips and get the screw in sensors.
Great test Mark. Keep up the fantastic reviews. I got Titliest T400’s powerbats to try to make up some distance lost to age. The cobra’s do look solid though
im picking my nrw set of LTDx irons tomorrow 24th but i was fitted for the rad speed last november but they couldn't for fil the order so had a free upgrade to these culds
Thanks mark for your videos. I always watch you because i know im not going to be feed some click baity rubbish. Keep telling as it is and how it should be. You actually improve people's golf game 👍
“Where do they sit for you?”
Slightly behind the ball and a little closed to combat the high winds in my area.
Mark ! Always love your reviews !
Nice review. Cobras are high quality at a lower price point. What's not to like if you're not a brand snob? I've been looking at the new Cobra Air X irons. I like the looks better and the lofts are more reasonable, while still with all the game improvment, CG advantages. Not sure I can feel the slightly lighter total weight though still D0 swing weight. Would be interested in your take...
I’ve been only fitted for Callaway at the moment, but I do want to try Mizuno, Srixon, and Cobra. Taylormade and titleist are dog compared to those brands in my opinion.
Personally I don't like all the plastic glued to the back. I think that it makes them look cheap. I wonder how they work with less clubhead speed, maybe 75 mph?
Like em. I’d like to see a comparison between these and the One Length, and get your thoughts.
I ordered the Cobra King MIM Tours last month after my 21 Callaway Apex's fell apart and got to swap them out. I saw your review on the MIMs and you really liked them, as well as other viewers. Wonder how you would compare these to the MIMs?
Luckily, it’s not a bodybuilding contest or physique contest, because these might end up at the bottom of the heap, but they sure performed near the top practically where the rubber meets the road. That’s what matters.
Hello Mark, a little belated on this. But how would you compare these to the original zx4. Also, What is longer heel to toe, and which has the thicker sole?
Marketing is key , makes us believe Mizuno are buttery smooth , TM long and forgiving, Ping super forgiving, Titliest for the shot shapers . What’s Cobras ? it’s all marketing because all these forgiving clubs are great .
I love my Arccos and that is a huge selling point to me.
Just bought a new 5-pw set for $300 …about to game them tomorrow
Game Improvers for all! I'm thinking of going to PXG 0211s
Game improvers for all. All good Mark, we have it Down Under as well. It's those bloody Kiwi's ya got ta worry about.
Honest appraisal concerning the help slightly chunkier clubs off er us all.
If you’re back to a blade putter, why not bring custom shop back instead of the Cleveland? Does your deal require full club set? Thanks for the great videos
Slow your swing speed to 80 mph and let’s see launch and descent angles. Concerned might just be low line drives that won’t hold greens….
I tried Arccos, but having to have the mobile in the front pocket while playing is not for me. Also, their web browser based editing tools are not very good, this requires the user to use the phone app which works much better but is on a much smaller screen.
Very good mark keep them coming are you going to review the new taylormade stealth irons. Would be good to compare both.
I currently am playing king forged one length irons but am leaning towards switching to a cavity back in hopes of hitting more greens. I am a 7 handicap, do you think these in a one length would be suitable or are they aimed at higher handicaps?
Low cap here. Try this and hit 9i 167 yds. Very forgiving as expected. Considering gaming them but then wonder how many wedges I would need.
They used to have a cambered sole that made turf interaction a delight, hitting off mats anyway
I have the 6-per and love them
You can get the built in sensor grips as a free custom option from Cobra
I still play amp cell pro irons and love them.
Prefer my cobra forged tec irons but they look good 👍 👌
Great clubs, I've never met anyone that didn't like them; too rich for my blood though.
Are these larger heel to toe than your forged tec irons?
I’m coming from ping, I would think these would be like the g425’s in size, but does anyone on here know? Thx
Arccos its expensive cause you need a subscription considering Garmin is free. Although you need to buy a watch. I have stopped using Arccos cause some have run out of batteries and I would have to regrip them. The other clubs that aren't Cobra have sensors but they often fall out!!!
Planning on buying the one length, have not had time yet to go demo
Looks and performs well, would you recommend it for a 22 handicapper? Another great video, keep it up
I'm a 15 handicap. I've been playing my old TaylorMade for years. After hitting these I'm all in on Cobra. I was literally giddy after hitting them.
I thought the arccos built into the grip was incredibly annoying. The last inch of the grip wasn't ever seated all the way down so you could feel it bending under your hand. Had to grip down an inch just to not feel it
I think they look amazing and would love to get a set, but me being new to golf (play off 23) and probably looking into to much detail but I think ild struggle to get the ball in the air with the lofts being so strong and I also think because of that ild struggle to hold any greens with the low back spin aswell.
@theLMG maybe I should just go for a fitting for them and see how it goes. My current irons have a 5 iron @24° of loft, which I struggle to hit big time (although can hit a 3 hybrid and 3 wood spot on), and the 7 iron is 31°, these cobra irons have a 26.5° 7 iron if I remember correctly so I'm worried with the iron loft being so close to my current 5 iron I might struggle to use the 5,6 and 7 iron in this cobra iron set 🤷♂️
Great review. Thanks very much.
Be interested to know the price. Do they come with little to no offset? I like the cobras. A very underrated brand I feel
Cleveland did something similar with the CG8 gold. The cleveland was not chunky and passed as a players club. Did you ever review those?
I have the rad speeds (one length) the 7 6 and 5 aren't no good for me so I got a 6 and 5 hybrid same loft as 7 iron and then carried on with hybrids up to driver I'm 24hc.
Might have to get glasses stamped on to my Mizuno irons so I too, can be cool....
Nice video. Game improvers for all.. what about rhis vs super game improvement?
Love Arccos except for fees after trial ends. Also a fan of screw in sensors because what happens to those built in sensors when you have to regrip?
i've been debating looking at a combo set of these with the one lengths. maybe 5 6 in the OL (based on the strong lofts) and then 7-GW, leaving a bit of wiggle room with wedge gapping. But will defo be testing these against my Apex 19 combo set.
Have you played OL before? I used to play cobra OL - their F9 GI and then their Cobra King Forged irons (the ones Bryson uses). Just curious why you wouldn't just go 5-8 in OL, then 9-GW and above in standard if you wanted to try and blend them. I assume you are going 5 6 in OL because you wanted that shorter shaft length to make it easier/more consistent with strikes? I would agree with not going lower than a 5i - I played around with OL 4i and i just couldnt make it work (i also tried their OL 4 hybrid) - always came in lower flight and to be honest not a big enough gap with the 5i.
@@tezzlacoilz yeah blending them as a 5-6 OL and 7-GW in standard is what I said/mean. Might not have typed it out that well. But it's to have the more troublesome long irons at a shorter length then the irons I'm more comfortable with at a standard length.
@@glennhoyland6147 yep makes sense mate. I really enjoyed OL. Made longer irons much easier to hit. Split makes sense. Definitely I would go variable length 9-gw. 8i neither here nor there. Good luck with it!
Just ordered these so I will let you know if they game well for me or how much I have sold them for 😆
Since I have the means to test irons and shafts.(I work PT in a golf store I did get to try these. I am LH and this is the only Cobra Iron head I have to try)
It took a few shafts to get numbers I was looking for. The lofts are on the strong side and I was hitting the 7 iron 175 plus on average ( 10 yards longer than my PXG) but I was not getting the launch or decent I was looking for. That is until I pulled Gorge Costanza and did the opposite of what I thought would help.
At 50 looking I was looking for lighter options and been leaning towards graphite shafts. What did I do ? I threw a 120 Modus Stiff shaft in set at 2 flat and just like that decent angles and launch window was what I was looking for.
Will I buy theses this year who knows but that set up is now in my top 3 along with ZX5 and D9 Forged
Bag Cobra Fmax superlite irons, 5-GW. Good stuff..
Love the top line compared to the last 2 irons.
And Arccost doesn't work abroad when you are hiring clubs. !!! Just booked El Camaleon Mexico and thought about the comment I wrote this afternoon.
Game Improvers for all
Is having Arccos in the grip any use with a Shot Scope watch? I.e. does moving to plug in sensors make these clubs more accessible to golfers interested in collecting stats?
Game improvement for all sir 🤓
I’m curious on how much difference their is between these & cobra fly z irons?
I really like the iron except the weight of the head. You MUST pair the right shaft or the swing weight gets weird…fast!
Had cobra f8's and now currently using (and no I'm not say that stupid Americanism "Gaming") Cobra Forged Tec. Best looking clubs out there in my opinion.
quick random question Mark, what adapter are you using for you GCQuad that allows you to have one cord that splits into the 2 ports in the back of the GCQuad? I have a Quad and hate having to run 2 cables. Thanks in advance.
