As he said, the driver has a very nice, reverberating, crack to it, while the 3W has a more solid thwack when flushed, but feels a little hollow when mishit. I’ll also say the hybrid sounds & feels a little “pingy” and rather hollow. 

Hollow is a great description. Thanks for adding that word.

Great review of the Cobra wood lineup, @edingc! You did a great job capturing the sounds of all of them and like you, that SpeedZone sounds so much better than the Epic Flash. I'll also agree that the Callaway Opti-Fit is a wonderful system that I wish more OEM's could or would duplicate just because I like the Golf Pride Align grips. 

I'll also say that Cobra makes some fantastic fairway woods, they're long, forgiving, and easy to launch. I love the F9's I just picked up. I do wish I could have gotten the headcovers in the yellow/black scheme to match my clubs instead of the avalanche white, but they still look good. 

Certainly a good use case for a 360 grip. Will have to look around for something similar to the Sonar. Maybe if I settle on a particular setting I'll have the adapter realigned to keep the grip and shaft graphics right.

Excellent stuff @edingc, is it just the gapping that puts you off the hybrid or does it not suit your game as well?

Gapping mostly, but also that it's a pretty low lofted club to get airborne and stop. I understand why my fitter put it in there, but I'm struggling to see where it goes in my game. With timing of the review and limited range access due to COVID, I just haven't had enough range time to fully work through how it might fit in. It doesn't help that there are few opportunities to use it on my home course, though I may be able to use it on one or two holes where I've otherwise laid back with irons. If I remove it, I'd likely replace it with a 21 degree hybrid to give me another tee club option that flies about 210-215, but perhaps with a little more height than what I'd get from the four iron.

Super review here. Really like the 4 frame pictures. Grouping on the driver looks pretty awesome that will definitely keep you out of trouble!

I believe I lifted that idea from @THEZIPR23 on his T-100S review, so all credit to him for the inspiration.

#MGSCobra2020 #CobraConnect Wood/Hybrid Review - edingc, a.k.a. #TeamCalvesLikePhil

We're kicking off the reviews in spectacular fashion with the Cobra SpeedZone woods and hybrids! After success with the F9 series of clubs, does Cobra have another winner on its hands with the SpeedZone line?

As a reminder, I am gaming the SpeedZone Xtreme driver, the regular SpeedZone 3 wood, and the 17 degree SpeedZone hybrid.

First Impressions

I ordered every club shorter than stock length across the bag. For the driver, this meant going to a “Tour Length” 44.5” shaft (one inch short). The fairway wood is 3/4 inch short, and the hybrid is 1/2 inch short. What a difference that makes! For someone like myself who is 5’11” but has long arms, these things felt wonderful right from the first few waggles out of the box.

Cobra really brought its A game to the headcovers this season as well, and I like that they are matched to the colorway of the club, though the OCD side of me wishes the hybrid cover used white stitching also.

Milled faces are all the rage for Cobra again this year, with the Infinity Face debuting on the SpeedZone driver. The milling allows Cobra to tighten tolerances, and in theory each face should be exactly the same as there is no hand-polishing (read: human error) in the process.

Looks - 4.5/5 Stars

I was previously gaming the Callaway Epic Flash, which shares a similar elongated shape with the SpeedZone Xtreme. Ordered in the matte white finish, the SpeedZone Xtreme is much more attractive to my eye in every single way compared to the Epic Flash. The matte finish screams “stealth bomber,” and the white and red accents provide a wonderful, yet understated color contrast. While the elongated shape makes for a larger footprint versus the standard SpeedZone, I think even better players would have no issue playing this driver.

The Infinity Face provides an excellent clubface alignment aid, and as a bonus you can usually see the imprint of your golf ball after a well struck shot. To me the face appears to sit slightly open, which I prefer.

The color scheme transfers flawlessly to the 3 wood as well. The 3 wood is a traditional shape that should get along well with almost everyone.

The matte finish does not reflect sunlight, and the addition of small aerodynamic ridges on the crowns of both the driver and the wood complete the look. 

I love that despite switching to yellow on the hybrids, Cobra again went with a matte finish instead of gloss. Deducting half a star here for not offering the same white scheme option found on the woods for the hybrids.

Sound & Feel - 4/5 Stars

Coming from the Epic Flash, perhaps one of the most notoriously awful sounding drivers, the SpeedZone Xtreme is a wonderful change. As a former baseball player, the SpeedZone Xtreme sound reminds me of an old-school aluminum bat. The sound reverberates slightly on impact. I think the sound has a lot to do with my impression of the feel of the face, which to me has a moderate trampoline effect/feeling at impact.

I am slightly disappointed in the feel/sound of the 3 wood. Using another baseball analogy, the 3 wood feels and sounds more like a traditional wood bat. A great feel and solid thwack sound when hit on the sweet spot, but slightly hollow and dead when not squared up. Admittedly, I am not one to use a 3 wood often or hit it well, but I also had the same experience last year when demoing the F9 (which ultimately lost out to the Mizuno GT-180 I had in my bag prior to receiving the Cobras).

Basic Characteristics - 4.5/5 Stars

I fit into the 9 degree SpeedZone Xtreme head, which is adjustable down to 7.5 degrees and up to 10.5 degrees. Based on my swing, the fitter recommended I loft down to 7.5. After a few range sessions I am currently playing both woods at their stated lofts.

I had my Epic Flash lofted down, but I still managed to hit very high balls with it. The SpeedZone Xtreme actually is producing lower launch conditions (to my eye and verified as best I can with my FlightScope Mevo), which is partially why I’ve opted to keep it at the stamped loft.

I’m not one to work the driver (or any wood/hybrid). My goal with the driver is to not be in trouble. This is where the SpeedZone Xtreme is by far a better driver for me than the Epic Flash. I am finding the near middle of the SpeedZone a lot more often, and as such, my misses are not nearly as poor as with the Epic Flash.

I do not think the SpeedZone Xtreme is the longest driver I’ve hit. On a well-struck shot, early indicators from my range sessions with my Flightscope Mevo indicate ball speeds and carry distance may be just slightly less than those of the Epic Flash. However, again, the forgiveness of the SpeedZone Xtreme shines because on mishits, the ball speeds of the SpeedZone Xtreme are consistently higher than those of the Epic Flash.

At 15 degrees, I hit a monster 3 wood from the tee during my practice round. A very high, penetrating flight, that nearly matched the distance of my driver. There is more work to be done on becoming more consistent with this club. I know the new design of the baffler rails will make this club wonderful from the turf as well.

The hybrid plays a nice lower bullet with some run out. I am hoping to experiment with this club some more to see if it would be a viable option off of the tee when the driver isn’t cooperating.

On Course Performance - 5/5 Stars

Two shots stand out to me with the SpeedZone Xtreme:

The first was a gross mishit that held a reasonably straight line and still traveled a very long way. The second was a ball hit on the screws with some run out. I believe these two holes highlight just what the SpeedZone Xtreme can do.

I only hit the 3 wood and hybrid during my practice round, and they produced very nice shots as well, but I don't have the Arccos data to back that assertion up.

Miscellaneous - 4/5 Stars

I was spoiled with the adjustable cog system Callaway uses on their driver shaft adapters. Callaway's system maintains the orientation of the grip regardless of the driver setting. Cobra does not have this technology in their adapters. As I opted for the Lamkin Sonar grips, which have white alignment reminders on them, they move out of position whenever the loft of the wood shafts is changed.

Play It or Trade It - 3.5/5 Stars

The SpeedZone Xtreme is staying in the bag well beyond the conclusion of this challenge. It is just too forgiving across the face to not play, and I love the sound and feel.

The SpeedZone 3 wood is also very likely to remain in the bag, if only because the baffler rails are the real deal when playing from the turf, and because I enjoy the shortened Aldila Rogue Silver shaft. In a head-to-head contest with other 3 woods with shortened shafts, I’d likely choose something that sounded better to my ear.

I have mentioned earlier in this thread about questioning my gapping and the usefulness of the 17 degree hybrid. Honestly, unless I get really good off of the tee with it, that club is the most likely to leave my bag. 

Woods and Hybrids Overall Rating - 4/5 Stars

Cobra may not get the press or tour play of Callaway or TaylorMade, but they produce some very, very good drivers. My goal this year and throughout this challenge is to improve my game from the tee box. I think the SpeedZone Xtreme is just the club I should be using to do so!

How's the bounce feel on the MIM wedges?  I'm curious do you notice a difference with the notch taken out in the back?  

Also, did any of the testers get the widelow grind?  Is that grind comparable to the T grind from Vokey?

Admittedly, my last lob wedge was a Maltby M-Series+ with the wide sole that limited my options for using the club. I thought that having a wider sole was beneficial, but the bounce on the Cobra 58 (versatile grind) is very, for lack of a better word, versatile. Not that it's a shot I'd play often, but I had no issue picking the ball off the tightly mown chipping area today with the face wide open. The notch really does seem to allow for the leading edge to stay low while the face is open. I've had some pretty good success from the bunkers with the face open, club cuts through really well without digging or bouncing. The biggest problem I had with the Maltby is that in a bunker it would often bounce really hard off the sand and lead to the leading edge shooting the ball out hard across the green.

That's impressive. Cobra has used DBM in the past (last year's contestants had it on their Cobra KING black wedges), but the problem is that DBM makes the metal so hard that it becomes brittle and impossible to adjust. My Maltby M-Series+ wedges have the DBM finish and it's darn near indestructable.

The MIM Black finish, QPQ, isn't as durable but can be bent! Quite a bit, since my wedges are 3 flat.

But yes, I have two marks on my 58 face already from bunker shots.

I will say the MIM sounds great.  They feel awesome too.  Dare I say... on par or better than my SM7s?

I finally got out to the short game area today at lunch and am equally impressed with the MIM wedges. I had a great round around the green yesterday, and I was able to confirm all of the stuff I was seeing on the course over about 45 chips today. They generate a ton of spin, land the ball softly and feel wonderful. I also love the leading edge and how it does not dig or get caught up in the grass. The practice facility has some pretty soft bentgrass that can get really grabby with sharp leading edges, but no issue with the wedge.

I hit some full shots on the range and really liked what I was seeing, too. Haven't really tried that on the course yet.

Been meaning to ask if you like them as much in X since you had them in S before?  If the PX LZ 6.5s don’t work out weight wise the CTL X and Modus 120 X are my two main candidates for a shaft swap after this is over.

Yeah, that's a great question. Kind of a love/hate relationship at the moment. I'm really enjoying it in the 58 degree wedge, feels like the perfect weight and still the C-Taper Lite feel, especially on partial shots.

I do feel like I've lost some of the feel I loved about the CTLs by going to X flex. I'm not sure if it's the move from forged heads back to cast, but I'm struggling with the feel a bit. Almost feel like I'm having to work too hard to get the results I want. Might be just an adjustment period, time will tell.

For a round that involved the variety of challenging tee shots you hit, you did a great job of mitigating damage. The Plinko hole is definitely impressive and to persevere through that shows a strong mental game. I applaud you for that! The short game is looking stellar, with all the chip and downs and the number of one putts you had. 

All of you have done a great job this first week, can't wait to see how next week goes!

Thank you! Today was definitely a good short game day. Felt good because that is often one of the weakest parts of my game.

The real question is on plinko hole.....did you get the 10k?

I wish! 5 iron from the tee that hit branches and dropped down, 6 iron that hit some piece of tree square and went 45 degrees backward and left, 9 iron that I tried to squeeze through a small clearing but hit the underside of a big limb and went further left, and finally a gap wedge chip back to the front area of the green that thankfully avoided the handful of trees on the way...

[How'd you play?]

Two weekend rounds for #CobraConnect. I've posted over in that thread as well, but focused more on the clubs than my game.

Saturday

- 39/44 = 83 (+11)
- 4/15 FIR
- 10/18 GIR (1 birdie)
- 35 Putts (3 3-putts, 11 2-putts, 4 1-putts)

Sunday

- 42/40 = 82 (+10)
- 7/15 FIR
- 7/18 GIR (2 birdies)
- 32 Putts (2 3-putts, 10 2-putts, 6 1-putts)

Chipped and putted considerably better on Sunday than Saturday, but struggled with my irons both days. Sunday was particularly frustrating because I was alternating between hitting pulled toe shots (bad path) and overcooked straight draws (better path but really closed face) as I am still not comfortable with the feelings I got from Tuesday's lesson. Hoping to get to the range tomorrow to work some more on it.

Playing a small fade with the driver on good shots now, just have to trust the shot shape and go hard after it each time. Every now and then I'll get the face stuck open and bomb one way right, which isn't making trusting anything easy at the moment.

[#COBRACONNECT Challenge 4]

Last round for week one in the books. Another so-so for me round of 82, complete with a shanked 7 iron off No. 2 tee, playing shots from adjacent fairways multiple times, a rousing game of Plinko through the trees on No. 9 and a 235-yard 6 iron from the tee on No. 10 that just wouldn't stop rolling away from the fairway . I really just managed my misses today, and recovered well. And with the SpeedZone irons, a lot of my misses are way better than I would have with my Maltby PTMs. Case in point, on the 200ish-yard par 3 on the front, I hit a terribly toe-y shot with my 5 iron that I was sure was short of the green and left. It actually went hole high left-middle green after the runout. Unreal.

The star of the show today was the MIM Black 58 degree wedge. I didn't hit a lot of greens, and this club got me out of jail so many times today. We're going through a very dry and hot spell again, and they are watering greens heavily into the late morning so that they don't risk disease keeping them wet all night. With the greens pretty much saturated, I was able to land a lot of shots with the 58 very close and get them to check and stop almost immediately.

Notable 58 degree shots:

• A 45-yard pitch on No. 1 to within 10 feet and converted for birdie. 
• After a not so good sand shot on No. 2, chipped to within 8 feet and hit the putt to save double bogey (rough hole).
• After Plinko'ing my way to the front of the green on No. 9, chipped from a few yards off the green to within 4 feet to save bogey.
• Delicate uphill chip from off the green on No. 10 that stopped within 5-6 feet. Just lipped out the par putt.
• From really thick, fluffy rough on No. 14, hit a chip shot that admittedly checked up too much and stopped about 10 feet short of pin, just pushed the par putt right.
• On No. 15, after hitting my drive hole high but off the right side of the green, checked the ball perfectly into the sloped green, stopping the ball a foot from the pin for a tap-in birdie.
• From the right rough on No. 17, chipped within 4 feet, but unfortunately missed the par putt.
• From matted down right rough on No. 18, to a pin tucked at the back left of green on a shelf, hit a tight spinner that hit the crest of the hill and one-hopped and stopped to 3 feet. Hit the par putt.

Looking forward to next week's challenge!

When I'm having a bad wedge day, I hit my wedges like Chad 1. But i don't get mad or have fits though.

I never was that bad, but I definitely used to have more of a temper when playing poorly. Golf isn't one of those sports though where anger gets you any further, if anything I get tighter and play worse. One of the keys to my scores improving over the past two years has been to mentally let go of a shot after I hit it, and focus on the next one.

Now, that doesn't stop me from very often quietly going, "Cody, that was s---," in my follow through after hitting a poor shot and reminding myself to hit better shots, hahahaha.

@chisag - I feel like the odds of two random singles having similar attitudes are very small. You definitely hit the tee time lottery.

[#COBRACONNECT Challenge 4]

Second official round in the books. Kind of fought my swing all day, typical after a lesson without much practice. I shot what I'll call a "smooth" 83, erase a 4-iron that I hooked into the trees, a shank with my 58 wedge from the fairway and a duck hook with the driver and I would have scored a lot better. Nineteen putts on the back nine didn't help, but this isn't a putter review so...

There were a couple of things really stood out to me today:

First, the SpeedZone irons are unbelievably forgiving. I had multiple approach shots where I would have come up short and left with my Maltby PTMs that ended up on the green. It's a weird feeling to hit a bad shot, be kind of disgusted with the swing and then look up to watch the ball land on the green.

Second, the SpeedZone Xtreme continues to impress me when I put bad swings on the ball. I did square a few up today with slightly less than full bore swings, but the ones I didn't square up still went impressively far. Four of my drives went right around 265 yards each, not the longest I've ever hit but enough to give me short irons into the green.

For the first time this season, I got stuck behind a twosome in a cart on the back nine during a morning round. They let me play through on 16, which is a tight driving hole with trees left and right in the landing area. I didn't put the best swing on the ball, but hit a little fade right down the middle of fairway with the audience. Good feeling!

How are the scoring irons checking up on the greens  ... usually stronger lofts lead to lower spin numbers. 

I’d imagine the parachute like landing, cause they’re so high, likely makes up for the lower spin numbers.  

Arccos claims this 9-iron was 160 yards, I think it was closer to 150, but...

A little spin back on the green, helped a touch by the green contour. Still, they do stop.

Yet another datapoint with someone getting a change in lie.  What did you change from? I'm beginning to think the lie board is more like an Ouija Board 

One thing to remember is that a lot of newer clubs, and especially the SpeedZones, are quite upright to begin with. This is because of the belief that higher-handicappers will benefit from the more upright lies (draw-biased) and also because the longer shaft lengths can flatten dynamic lie at impact (more shaft droop). My "2 flat" SpeedZones are the same length/lie as my "1 flat" Maltby PTMs, and the same as "stock" Mizuno JPX 919 Forged.

I don't think I would trust a lie board as anything else other than an absolute beginning place in fitting, much like wrist-to-floor and height measurements. Ball flight and dynamic lie angle are going to be better indicators of what lie a particular swing needs.

Alright guys @edingc @B.Boston @GB13 @daviddvm @Headhammer, now that you have the clubs, and are using Arccos, what has stood out most to you? the clubs, the stats, Ease of use??? And what did you think you were better at than the statistics show??? 

The long irons are really, really easy to launch and very forgiving. The feel isn't as great as a forged iron, obviously, but the ball rockets off the face. No issue hitting the 4-iron as a result.

EDIT - Game wise, since you asked, my putting is much better than I thought it was. My issue isn't my putting, but rather my first putt distances (caused by poor approaches and chipping).

With the Cobra driver, Mind you I am playing a F8+,  I found that slightly high and towards the toe is where i got the best performance.. i just noticed better flight and more consistant direction (less offline).. Any thoughts??? 

I think the sweet spot is generally going to be slightly high and slightly toe, high ball speed retention, slight draw gear effect, and spin reduction from going slightly high on the face. Similar spot on the SpeedZone Xtreme, though the driver has excellent ball speed retention across the face.

Agreed. Expectation vs reality is big and do not want to think something is going to happen when its out of reach and then being let down. Was just curious if all of you had goals. Should have worded it better.

Ah, well then I can make it short and simple, since I wrote a novel. 

My goal is to drastically improve my driving over the next 7.5 weeks. I want my driver to be a weapon from the tee.

[Tour Striker Planemate]

I've tabled my PlaneMate at the moment. Not the fault of the device by any means, just starting to get busy with work ramping back up and also #CobraConnect stuff.

I don't think this was the fault of the PM, but after playing really good golf for about two weeks following the level one protocols, I started really having problems with my takeaway becoming all arms. I think I was just trying to put the club into position rather than using my body to do so. Not sure if that was caused by the PM or not.

Looking forward to the offseason, because the relax and rotate feel is something my coach has me working on. The only caveat is for me I get to my left heel too quickly, so I need to be wary of that as well. My weight needs to go into the front of my left foot first before it can move over to the heel.

But what are you expecting handicap wise or so you have a realistic goal for the arccos handicap drop?

Honestly, I played some really, really good golf during the baseline rounds, so I'm going to need to continue that if I want my handicap to drop.

For me, I need to keep more tee shots out of obstructed areas and put my approaches closer to the hole. That's going to lower my scores at least 2-5 strokes each round from where I am now. Case in point - during my round Tuesday my drives had obstructed second shots on holes 1 (hit tree), 3 (under trees), 16 (hit trees twice) and 18 (under trees). Combine that with two three-putts from a mile away, and one ball OB, and the score adds up quickly. Remove those and my 84 becomes an 80 or better pretty easily. 

Expectations vs. reality is something I do struggle with from time-to-time. I have to remind myself that last season I started at my home course shooting mid-high 90s, and was ecstatic when I shot an 86 in April 2019. Looking back on my scores I didn't drop into the low 80s until late July early August, and even then it was only for a few rounds. I've been consistently 86 or below for the most part this season.

For the SZ iron guys ... how’s the club’s wider sole width working for you? Especially if you’re coming from a smaller profile club. How’s the turf interaction? Any adjustments from a swing or mental setup standpoint?

This competition is opening my eyes to the SZ irons, but I can’t find the SZ irons in stock at any of our golf stores down here ... not Edwin Watts or Dick’s Sporting. 

I think it was during my practice round Friday, there was one shot where I felt like the club "stuck" in the ground a little bit. My Maltbys have a very similar v-style sole to, say, a Srixon or Hogan. The leading edge on the SpeedZones do not have that kind of relief. We've been really dry this season, so it remains to be seen if the lack of a v-style sole impacts me in a negative way.

After playing with them some more on the range during my lesson Tuesday, I actually think the sole design on the SpeedZones is really smart, however. The small effective sole area makes them glide through the turf on good swings, while the larger parts of the sole help guard against digging a ton when I get really steep. I was taking a very tidy small divot with my short irons with no issues (off of bentgrass). 

One thing I think is better seen in person, is how the sole transitions. In my opinion, the pictures make it look like there is a lowered area entirely around the perimeter of the bottom of the club. That is not the case, which I've tried to illustrate below.
