Cobra KING Wedges


Recommended Posts

A lot of subtle differences between new and old, plus the inclusion of multiple sole grinds. I'm a steep AoA guy...what might traditionally be called a digger. The wide sole model was designed for guys like me. I've played a few rounds with the new version and what's most noticeable is the more rounded leading edge on the 2016 version. It definitely helps prevent digging in relation to the previous model.

Good stuff to know ... thx!!

Chksurfer, so sorry to hear about your hip. I have had a lot of sports injuries, and the main lesson i learned: don't go back to your sport too soon!

 

Tough to do for many of us. However, if you completely stand down and let things heal, you'll come back stronger, and ultimately faster, than if you keep on nagging an injury.

 

If your hip is more than sports-related, hope you get the treatment you need. Later, you may try Copper Compression shorts. I have a pair from Amazon.

Btw, I'm playing the King F6s and loving them. The F6 GW rolls out better than my SM5 50*, so the Vokey is out of the bag. I'm still learning to hit the F6 6, 5 and 4irons. They're just so long and i get excited and mishit them on the course. I'm working on my mechanics anyway, but am getting these irons dialed in. My driver ss is around 95-100. I hit the F6 4 iron 190 avg, 5i 180, 6i 170. I don't normally have that far into the greens on my second shots, but do occasionally. These irons are very controllable and feel great! You're gonna love 'em!

Yeah - can't wait!!!

(Got the 6-GW plus two adjustable hybrids)

 

And Thx for the all-too-rational and very good commonsense advice about being patient - I'm trying..!! Very light activity or exercise one day and take it easy the next.

 

And a little off the topic of Cobra wedges, but...

 

Did get PRP (platelet rich plasma) therapy on the left side back in mid-Jan and still doing some PT for the muscles/ligaments on the right side. Also seeing a chiropractor who has a "pressure wave" machine that's supposed to promote healing in the joints and associated tissue; along with the acupuncturist in the same office.

 

It all seems to be helping -- along with taking it easy!

 

On those compression shorts: is that the brand, "Copper Compression", you're using? Seem to be a lot of clones / copycats and not clear what amount (if any) of actual copper thread they contain... Thx.

I had a Tour Trusty 54 that was gamed out and tried out the 56 King. Nice feel and sharp looking but couldn't get the spin I was used to with the TT. Played about 10 rounds with it and ended up selling it to a guy they paired me up with a few weeks ago and bought a MD3 to replace it. 

 

Don't regret it at all. Good feel and look but just couldn't get quite what I wanted in spin.
