Golfspy_CG2 25,275 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 My Stage 3 is up........the final piece of the F6 iron review. Foz... I know you are a big fan of these as you've told in a few conversations. When our Cobra Rep was at the shop last week, he had the new F7 One's and the One Forged. I got to hit them both on the range, granted niether had the ideal shaft for me, the F7 had too soft of shaft and the One Forged had a too stout shaft...kind of like Goldilocks and the porridge...ha. Anyway, I was a bit disappointed in the results of the F7 as they just weren't as consistent in the direction and distance as I would have thought. The One Forged however were solid and had a flight pretty much like what I'm seeing now out of my AP1, maybe a tad lower. So I hope to get more time with both in the coming month or so. As a 17 HC I always look to forgiveness first, or maybe I'm just becoming a better ball striker than I thought and able to handle the One Forged. Yeah, let's go with that...ha But it was a surprising result for my first go with either ne. 2 Quote TSi2 Kuro Kage 50g R Flex TSi2 16.5 FW with GD AD IZ 6 Shaft G410 FW 7 Alta CB R flex G410 Hybrid 26 degree Alta CB R Flex T100S/T200 Combo 5-7 T100S 8-P T200 TT Black Oynx R Flex SM7 54.08 F 58.12 K Heppler Tomcast ProV1X Play number 12 Link to post Share on other sites
fozcycle 11,839 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Thanks CG2, I was perfectly content with the Bio Cell irons after I reshafted them with the Project X 5.0 graphite shafts. I get to see them every week as I gave them to my golf Buddy. He is hitting them well. However, since the release of the F6 with the 4 different club designs, I found that I like the new ones even more. Last summer I was able to score a 33 on the back nine with 5 birdies......that was because I was dialed in with the Cobra irons. I just know that I can do that again... 1 Quote Driver: Tour Edge Exotics EXS w/Mitsubishi ck Blue regular shaft BACKUP DRIVER: Cobra F8 w/Mitsubishi ck Blue regular shaft Fairways: Cobra King F8 3W(14.5*) & 5W(18.5*) w/Mitsubishi ck Blue regular shaft Hybrids: Tour Edge CBX 119 4H(22*) with Project X Evenflo regular shaft Irons: Wilson Staff D7 5 - PW w/Recoil 460 regular shafts Wedges: Wilson D7 GW(50*) & SW(54*) w/Recoil 460 regular shafts; Cleveland RTX Zipcore(58*) w/True Temper Spinner Wedge steel shaft Putter: 33" Slotline SSi 693 mid mallet Bag: Cobra Ultralite Cart Bag(Peacoat Blue).

cksurfdude 7,983 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I've integrated the 5 iron into my bag over the last few months, although begrudgingly. I've been using it as a rescue club of sorts, punching out low from trouble or the occasional stinger from the tee box. Still had to work a bit of lead tape into the equation to get the results I wanted, but it outed my Srixon U45 once it was all said and done.Interesting, thanks for that! Hope it works out well for you. I don't currently have a 5i in my bag - been considering adding one.... My 5 now is the Ping Crossover (24°) - and have sorta been looking at utility irons like the Srixon U45, maybe the Cobra King OS, etc. Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ... ..Tour Edge Exotics EXS 3W/HL (17*) and EXS 7W (both Tensei CK Blue) ..Callaway Super Hybrid 23 (PX Catalyst) and Big Bertha 19 5H (Recoil ZTR) ..PXG 0211 6i-GW (Mitsubishi MMT) ..Cleveland CBX2 54 and CBX 60 (both Rotex graphite) ..Evnroll ER5 (33", 385g, P2 Reflex Tour) ..all in a Datrek Hybrid bag on a Bag Boy Quad XL push cart.

Do you get much different yardages out of each, or are they for different situations? Thx! The 4i gets me 170-180 yards, but I use it mostly to punch out from under trees for 75 to 160 yard shots. The 4H is used in open fairway for 170 yard shots to the green or tee shots on dogleg par fours.

McaseyM 1,703 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Good to hear you're still playing them. I want to give the Cobra F7 One length's a trial.

Joey East Coast 263 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I am also still bagging the F6 irons and loving them. I do feel, however, that the F6 set was forgotten about with the quick release of the King Oversize and the many variations of the F7. Such is the equipment game, I suppose. Go out and get some F6s on sale if you can. 3 Quote Shredder Stand Bag / TP SLDR S Mini 16* / Pro DHy 18* / Baffler 7w 20* / King F6 irons 5i-GW / J15 54* / Sierra 101-Soft / Z-star balls / all shafts regular flex / Lamkin Crossline Ace 3GEN oversize grips Link to post Share on other sites
Ashton Plumley 78 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Still gaming the f6 myself. Probably my favorite irons for a while. I was always a pro combo fan but I needed more forgiveness. The f6 is the iron for that, I use these babies just like my pro combos. I work them but they give me forgiveness I needed. Love these guys. sent using MyGolfSpy mobile app 2 Quote "What better gift from God than acres of neatly manicured scenery to chase a ball on!" Link to post Share on other sites
