[GolfSpy Barbajo]

(5) Testers Announced:
Cobra Connect Challenge II

 

The Full Bag Edition

 

 

Please read this one carefully gang, as it's a BIGGIE!!! And it's more than just a club review - it's a season long experiment in golf improvement.

 

Welcome to MyGolfSpy's 2nd annual Cobra Connect Challenge - and we're making it bigger and better than ever.  We're looking for FIVE of you to spend the rest of the golf season with a full bag - yes, a full bag - of Cobra's KING F8 gear equipped with the ARCCOS-powered Cobra Connect System.

 

We'll outfit you with a complete set of Cobra F8's, from driver, fairway and hybrids to irons and wedges - all customized to your specs - as well as MyGolfSpy's newly crowned Most Wanted Stand Bag, the Cobra Ultralight. Your job? Spend the season with your Cobra gear and use the Cobra Connect system to analyze your game, focus your practice and see how much you can improve.

 

 

Year Long Competition

 

Our 5 testers will spend the season competing against each other for some great prizes provided by Cobra-Puma, and all you have to do is what you'd do anyway - play golf and work to shoot lower scores. 

 

To start, Cobra will send you a full ARCCOS 360 set for use with your current gamers. You'll spend a month setting a performance baseline, and once you get your new Cobra gear, you'll spend the rest of the year playing, tracking your data and discussing your journey here in the MyGolfSpy Forum and on Social Media. 

 

This is gonna be, as they say, a hoot!

 

How To Apply:

 

This review opportunity is open to any golfer in the U.S. or Canada, so in this thread - please tell us the following:

 

1. Your first name and home state or province

 

2. Your current set makeup

 

3. Your current handicap

 

4. Your goals for the 2018 golf season

 

Again, the commitment on your part is to game your new Cobra gear for the remainder of the season and share your journey both here in the MyGolfSpy Forum and on Social Media. 

 

Good luck to all, and we'll be announcing our 5 testers right here next week!

 

Thank you to everyone that applied, this was a very tough challenge to narrow it down to just five. If you weren't selected for this testing, you won't have to wait long.  Another great one will be announced in the next couple days!!   We keep it rollin on MGS

4. Your goals for the 2018 golf season

My goals this year are to qualify for the State Am and State Open and to shoot under par for each event. Also to be under par in US Mid Am qual. I know to do that I'm going to need to increase accuracy with iron play. I'm averaging about 9 Greens in regulation mostly off the strength of my driving and need to increase that to 12 greens a round. I also need to increase par 3 greens in reg to closer to 75% and right now I'm 50% on a good day. A lot of rounds I'm historically 1 out of 4 on the par 3s.

I also want to increase wedge efficiency to where I have stock yardages I can lay up to on the par 5s and still have high birdie %. Currently if I'm not green side in 2 in not making birdie.

Thanks for the opportunity! This is a huge offer and a serious commitment by the winners
