mcbush25 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have been thinking about picking up the Cobra Pro CB to put into my bag this year and just looking at the pics of those makes me want them even more. Congrats to Poulter on a great match play event. He played tremendously well over the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY VIP GolfSpy_X Posted February 24, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted February 24, 2010 Still think it is one of the best looking sets out there.

Skillschampion2 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I knew that the ZL was one of the best long sticks out there, congrats to a fellow Arsenal fan, Ian Poulter, lets hope this is the 1st of many big wins this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWShoot67 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Still think it is one of the best looking sets out there. I have to agree as well,I've been wanting to hit the MB's but looking at the cb's , it might serve me better to play a combo type set -up. Are these Endo forged?

mcbush25 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Still think it is one of the best looking sets out there. I agree! I am getting ready to change out the irons and was thinking either the Cobra Pro CB's or the new Titleist AP2's. Decisions, decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Those Cobra MB's are some of the nicest looking clubs goin, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moecat Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 I wonder if his Pro CBs are any different from the retail version - perhaps a thinner top line and less offset? Having demo'd a 6 iron some time ago, I found it very easy to hit for an iron in the "players" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyallanb Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Great win!! Cobra still makes a nice looking stick. Always solid. Scotty B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWShoot67 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I wonder if his Pro CBs are any different from the retail version - perhaps a thinner top line and less offset? Having demo'd a 6 iron some time ago, I found it very easy to hit for an iron in the "players" category. I believe that almost 90% of the Tour players irons are nothing like the retail irons that we see! when it comes to forging(where their's may be ENDO or Miura)and retails will be done in China, grinds(their's are all custom). Or others will just be 1 of proto's that have the same type of stamping. Example: lets say Titleist 690.cb's. I just seen a set of Tour Issued set for sale that were some tour players back up set. Well in the cavity it said 690cb and the head looked like the Miura split cb. All I know it wasn't the same as my retail 690cb that I owned. That's just one example but we've all seen Freddy Couples irons and their never what they say he's playing, or atleast not the retail offering! Maybe I'm exaggerating with 90% but I'll bet the upper tier of players are getting whatever they want.tweaked,tweaked and more......tweaking lol The Bag: Right handed Cobra King FLYZ+ 10.5* w/ Aldila Rogue 125 R 44.5" Tour Issued TM M2 10.5 w/ Mitsubishi Tensi CK Pro Blue 60S Tour Issued TM M2 15* w/ GD Tour AD 7S 43" TM R7 17.5 HFS w/ Tour AD 7S Stiff 42" Cobra S3 Pro's 4-pw w/ Aldila RIP Tours SLT 115 Reg. 5i 38.5" Titleist Vokey Proto's 52*,54*,58* all TTDG S-400 TM TP5 X Scotty Cameron SSS Tiffany 009 350 34.5" or Bettinardi BB1 DASS Proto GHIN # 5144472 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumpybutz Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Cobra has been making great looking clubs for years....going back to the Mild Steel Heads and the Norman Frind Irons. I would love to get my hands on aan MB/Pro-CB Combo Set, but we all have dreams. More recently, the SS Forges Darren Clark used was another nice set as well.

jamo Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Anyone else tried the Cobra Carbon CB? They have it at a local golf superstore for $400, and they have a realllly good feel. Not really interested in buying, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Label Johnny Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I had a set of the CB's like the picture. I really liked these clubs. I changed to the Bridgestone PC's. I wish i was consistant enough to keep the Cobra's. When you hit them in the screws, it is spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofudc5 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I just sold my set of Pro CB for Mizuno MP58. Don't regret it at all for the sake of my game, and I think the Pro CB are just as sexy as the MP58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeves Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Nice looking sticks... That is disheartening to hear from TWShoot67 that we could never get the same quality retail I am waiting for Poulter to get some pink in the bag. He's got it everywhere else...

TWShoot67 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Nice looking sticks... That is disheartening to hear from TWShoot67 that we could never get the same quality retail I am waiting for Poulter to get some pink in the bag. He's got it everywhere else... Sorry maybe I should have clarified. There are some great OEM's out there who still make irons that are very similar to retail irons and in fact I'm sure someone here can elaborate of that issue. I know that B-stone is one of the better iron makers out there that uses ENDO to forge their retail irons just like their pro's get except maybe for players like FREDDY COUPLES and NICK PRICE. Heck I remember having a chance at picking up a set of B-Stones that were made for Will McKenzie and they have the J33 on the back but they were nothing like the J33 you buy off the shelves. When I say that your not going to get the same as Ian Poulter what I mean is your probably not getting same mold, you might be getting lucky and Cobra's irons may be forged by same house but that I'm not 100% sure about so I won't state it as fact. What I do know is I have seen several irons that have been made for specific players as mentioned above and they were nothing like what these companies sell on the shelf. That's not to say there still not a few great irons makers out there who sell QUALITY RETAIL EQUIPMENT! Sorry if I made you feel like we still can't get great retail products. we just have to do our homework.... plus you should get fit PROPERLY anyways!!

MmmmmmBuddy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Those Cobra Irons are quite sweet. It will be interesting to see where the Cobra players all end up now that Cobra has suspended Tour operations.

SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted March 6, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted March 6, 2010 Staying with the pro model vs. public model, do we have any specs on his putter? Standard retail seems unlikely.

MmmmmmBuddy Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Staying with the pro model vs. public model, do we have any specs on his putter? Standard retail seems unlikely. Great Question. You would think that an Acushnet player would be rolling Scott Cameron. I wonder how good that Rife putter really is. We have a bunch of them in the shop, and I am none too impressed.

Some pros can putt lights out with a tin can on a pool cue. Not that Rife is cheap in manufacture. I am just looking to credit the "archer or the arrow" I think that Rife does have a larger presence on the Euro Tour.

Matt Saternus Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Still think it is one of the best looking sets out there. Definitely good looking, and they feel awesome. There was a set in the shop that I used to work at, and whenever it was dead, that was the set that I would take into the "range room" and beat into the net.
