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.

[GolfSpy_X]

Still think it is one of the best looking sets out there.

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...

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?

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.

[chappy]

Those Cobra MB's are some of the nicest looking clubs goin, in my opinion

[Moecat]

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.

Great win!! Cobra still makes a nice looking stick. Always solid.

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

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]

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.

[Black Label Johnny]

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.

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

[Jeeves]

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...

[Richie3Jack]

The MB's are nice. The CB's are LONG. Nice set of irons. And they make a good driver now as well.

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!!

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.

[GolfSpy Dave]

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. (they are putters after all..)

Is Poulter known for his putting? 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.

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.
