[Are Cobra 2020 Forged Tec irons too much club for a high handicapper?]

I just got my set in last week.  Here's a thread where I posted the initial pictures.

Also attached are a couple pics compared to my T300 both 7 irons.  I see very little difference between the two in top line or offset. The offset may look a bit more in the T300.  I think that is more the angle the clubs are laying. They are pretty close to identical to me. 

I have only played about 13 holes with the Forged Tec, and that was coming off not having played for 3 weeks and a pretty big illness where I didn't have full strength back.  However, I would say I handled the irons fine for the most part, but will hopefully get some range time and another round in with them this week for more info.

 

 

Have you played any more with these since this post?

The previous model, the Forged Tec Blacks, targeted 0 to 15 handicaps per Cobra's own marketing materials. The 2020 Forged Tec have a bit less offset, so I imagine they may be better suited for 0-12 or so. But thats just a reference point. Are you losing strokes from poor iron play, or off the tee and greens? Are you an improving player? Do a smaller sole help with turn interaction and consistent impact? Are you intimidated by a thinner topline and smaller clubhead, or does that inspire confidence?  

I lose strokes off the tee, I am improving, a small top line doesn't bother me at all, decent consistency at impact.

I play f9's currently but the huge boxy look and feel of them doesn't inspire a ton of confidence at address and I get very little feedback. I love the look of them and the slimmer profile but I have nowhere to test these since Cobra isn't prevalent in pro shops (also I'm lefty). The off set seems in line with f9 and other SGI clubs except for the long irons. That said I shoot high 80's to mid 90's so feel like they may not offer the forgiveness my game needs. Any other high index guys play these and have feedback to offer?
