OFFICIAL #CobraCONNECT CHALLENGE 2018

[MaxEntropy]

I have a question primarily for the guys in a similar handicap range as I, but I would certainly like to hear from all of you (sorry if it has been addressed before):

 

How do you use the Arccos data in determining where you need to improve? Have you really learned anything that you didn't already intuitively know? In general, I am wild off the tee and score best when my miss is one-sided - not shocking. Last week I was spraying everywhere off the tee but scrambled really well for me. None of the stats in 18 Birdies capture that (IMO it is because it doesn't really handle "recovery" shots very well). Putting stats are also misleading because they are a reflection of iron play and chipping - my worst putting days are those where I have more GIR with long first putts. I'm hoping that Arccos, being more advanced, addresses some of the statistical short-comings.

 

I am also interested in whether you guys used to really pay much attention to stats prior this challenge and, if so, how? Another app?

[STUDque]

So I thought you could mark a shot as a positional shot? are there just no stats around how well you did with it? Hole / Course History would be a cool feature as well, these are well thought out. If these features get pushed live, its gonna be really difficult not to purchase arccos.

It's a feature in Shot Scope but not Arccos. Shot Scope uses it more to determine your smart distance so it makes sense that it's not currently in Arccos since smart distance is automatically calculated.

 

Neither system handicaps your ability to manage the course.

[Reesedw]

Yes my 225 yd 6 iron was a great shot, but it did cut the corner over the edge of the river. So it was still probably about 180yds.

 

As far as using the data, I have been so focused on not losing a slice way right that I have been losing more shots left then I expected so now I am aiming for a straight ball flight, or actually playing down the right side.. but practice has really been limited so far but yes I will be looking at shots and dispersion as I practice going forward now that I have a solid baseline to go by...

Dang your right, I've been reading too many reviews from the different systems. My bad, my bad...

[goaliewales14]

For the Caddie feature, does it take into account wind and/or weather at all, or is it just straight yardage and you have to add in weather?

[Har in the Hat]

I was only able to eke out a 9 hole league round this week.  Started on hole 8, a par 5.  Nothing like having a push drive on my first hole and miss the fairway for this week's challenge, lol.  Didn't score well this week, but there's always next week.

 Also, I had some issues with Arccos.  It recorded my first two holes then promptly quit working.  Reinitialized it and it didn't continue the previous round so it started a new round.  It stopped again and I had to reinitialize the app a third time where it finally recorded the last seven holes of my league round.  I had to manually recreate  the last two holes on the third arccos round so I would have a complete 9.

 

 

EDIT:  Guys, just want to make sure this was right and not mis-lead anyone.  It was pointed out by my playing partner that arccos didn't properly record the fairways hit.  Not sure what happened but the correct number of fairways hit is 3/7...NOT 5/7 for a % hit of  42.8%. I was definitely having Arccos issues.  Sorry all.

 

 

MDGolfHacker

this is very interesting to find out.

I wonder if this will happen again or a one of instance.

I hope all issues are reported by the testers. would love to hear the bad with the good.

 

thanks all. so much to read

There are some great questions getting thrown around in here, team! Love it. I have a lot of input, but I won't be able to sit down and pump it out for another day or so. I have some feedback for you all on the irons and once completed, I will post that also. 

 

Dave threw up his current F8 stats - So I will follow suit and show you the improvements I have seen thus far - 2 of the biggest correlate to the irons. 

 

Pre - F8s

 

 

Current..... #F8sgettinitdone

 

 

 

As mentioned, will post iron "review" this week. Chat soon!!

Sorry for just now jumping into this thread, but I was able to catch up on all the posts to ask a few questions of my own. Great job so far with everything guys!! Hope you're ready for the list!!

 

• How do the set wedges compare to normal wedges? Are you able to get the same type of spin and performance?
  • Sorry I love wedge testing, so I'm always curious!
• Has anyone made any adjustments to their clubs either to complete the challenge, or just to get better performance? If you adjusted loft on the woods, how quickly did it change your averages?

• How do you feel about the grips? Do you want more options in grip selections?

• Do you feel that you could perform better with your old clubs for these challenges?

• Are you playing any new courses during this, or are you sticking to the ones you know? I know Joyzee played a few new ones.

• Are any of you going through coaching or swing changes right now?

• Were any of the courses you went to play not loaded into Arccos?

• Is there a challenge that you really want to see?

 

- The Wedges are very high quality. They are much like blades. As my baselines were Cobra F6 with very well made Wedges. So far the main difference is the F6's only had PW/GW/SW The F8's have PW/GW/SW/LW. The GW is 49* and is my 40-50 yd half wedge or 90 yd full shot. The SW is 54* and is a great chipping tool or full shot at 75-80 yds. The LW is 58* and is my sand wedge.

 

- I have not made any adjustments to the Driver, 3-4 or 5-6 Woods. The driver is 10.5* Neutral; 3-4 Wood is 14.5* Neutral & 5-6 Wood is 18.5* Neutral. With my current setup, I don't see any reason to adjust.

 

- I like the Lamkin grips. I have Cadet medium hands so don't need any options such as midsize or different brands. The Arccos sensors are nicely implanted in the grips and do not cause any issues holding the clubs.

 

- I am performing better with the new Cobra F8's over my baseline Cobra F6's

 

- I am always playing new courses, such as a top 100 World Woods Rolling Oaks this week. I also played a new course while in KY last month.

 

- I have not had any coaching or swing changes.

 

- All courses have been in Arccos ....so far, no issues finding a course.

 

- I welcome all the challenges as they help us to highlight the new clubs abilities.

 

I hope this answers your questions........

 

Here is my Baseline Stats using the Cobra F6's

 

Here is my Current Stats with the Cobra F8's

 

I think the F8's are a definite improvement.

 

I will try to post an iron review this week.

[Nunfa0]

Looks like all of you are improving with the F8s in the bag. Do you put this down to the clubs or the extra practice and golf you are getting?

Those are incredible numbers, whats even more impressive than doubling your GIR % from that distance is how much more on line you are, almost all of your misses are short a few yards but dead on. Crazy. I really love seeing this kind of data, I'm sure you don't mind seeing those stats either!

I'm definitely loving both the data and the results with the new clubs. 

 

How did you get the yardage did you go to the range or launch monitor to get them down or are you still figuring it out.

I'm very fortunate to have easy access to a Trackman. There are two at the facility where my daughter works. That gave me an early inkling as to how far I'd hit these clubs. But now that I have plenty of data in Arccos, I trust the distance data to be about 95% accurate. I think a few clubs may be a little off, but with more data it should get better.

 

With the new gains in distance are you seeing problems at the bottom end of your set with gapping?

The F8s are really three different clubs. The 4-6 are hollow, almost SGI clubs. The 7-PW are GI cavity backs. The wedges are practically blades, just a hint of cavity.

 

I'm not sure that Cobra has the transitions from one type of club to the other quite locked down yet.

 

6i - 201

7i - 175

PW - 141 (I think it's really 145 for a full PW; my numbers include some shots where I've choked up to take a little off of it)

GW - 124

 

I'm thinking about seeing a different fitter to have my specs checked and see if I should tweak lofts a little to close up the 6-7 and PW-GW gaps. I have gotten pretty good at choking up an inch or so on the PW to hit a 135 yard shot. I need to work on hitting a 185 yard shot with the 6.

 

 

Holy Bankruptcy Batman I need a new set of F8's like yesterday.

Even with the two big yardage gaps, I'm absolutely thrilled with the F8s.

 

 

How do you use the Arccos data in determining where you need to improve?

I may be in the minority here but can you explain the numbers. I love it just want to know exactly what I am looking at.

I'll answer these two with the same answer. I don't really care what the handicap numbers themselves are. I'm interested in trends. If I see a red arrow pointing up, I know that's what I need to work on, because that are of my game is getting worse. Otherwise, I try to work on the highest number (always Driving), because that seems to be where I can make the biggest improvement. I always knew my driving was pretty weak, but this hammers it home.

 

Putting stats are also misleading because they are a reflection of iron play and chipping - my worst putting days are those where I have more GIR with long first putts. I'm hoping that Arccos, being more advanced, addresses some of the statistical short-comings.

I think it does handle putting better than just counting putts. Your putting stats are very much impacted by proximity to the hole.

 

 

I am also interested in whether you guys used to really pay much attention to stats prior this challenge and, if so, how? Another app?

Yep. As evidenced by all the other ways I've kept stats in the past. Although, I've only been keeping stats for a couple of years.

 

 

For the Caddie feature, does it take into account wind and/or weather at all, or is it just straight yardage and you have to add in weather?

According to Arccos, yes. https://www.arccosgolf.com/blogs/community/arccos-golf-launches-next-generation-artificial-intelligence-platform-arccos-caddie-2-0-powered-by-microsoft-azure

 

But when you play in tournament mode, you don't get wind.

 

 

Looks like all of you are improving with the F8s in the bag. Do you put this down to the clubs or the extra practice and golf you are getting?

I still don't practice much, but I am making an effort to play even more. So that probably helps to some extent. But honestly, I think it's the clubs. I'm driving the ball longer with my three wood (my usual tee club) and I'm hitting shorter-shafted irons into greens. I don't seem to lose much distance with contact out towards the toe. These are extremely well-engineered clubs. The jury's still out on the driver, but it's getting there.

[GeekingGolf]

Ok I did some research. Sorry I just like to know what I am looking at and the geek in me wants to know what the numbers mean.

[fozcycle]

One thing about the F8's versus the F6's......the Loft of the F8's was jacked up 1* over the F6's. That will produce more yardage. That's also why you now have 4 Wedges...PW 44*/GW 49*/SW 54*/LW 58* as compared to the Cobra F6's...PW 45*/GW 50*/SW 55*

According to Cobras site, the different irons have different CG Profiles AND different grooves in the wedges for 4-7 and 8-pw. Can you guys actually feel the difference in a shot between, say the 7 and 8 iron? I assume the 8 is pretty spinny compared to the 7 or at least their marketing tells me it should be. Do you find yourself reaching for a hard 8 instead of a 7 just to get the spin and extra forgiveness out of it if you can? or is it not that noticeable? I'm just curious if this "CG" variation they are going after works. It's obvious that the distance part works up to this point. 

 

Also along those same lines, if it is noticeable, it seems that I personally would rather have the 7 iron have the mid CG or cavity back and the bigger grooves. Could just be because I like a good 7 iron, but It's obvious given the extra 1* that distance isnt an issue so I'm curious if that thought has occured to you guys and why they didnt just use 4-6 as the powerbats. 

 

As always, Apologies if I'm spoiling the upcoming reviews...

[goaliewales14]

We've talked a lot about the clubs and for good reason, but what about the bags themselves?  I think we have 3 Cobra stand bags to 2 cart bags if I looked at the intros correctly.  What do you guys think about the Cobra bags compared to your old ones?  Any new features that you didn't have before?  Any things you wish were different?

 

Reesedw - You had the bag MGS rated as one of the top bags right?  How is it compared to the Ping?

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but the cart bag has been great....so far. Not sure how long the ultralightweight bag will last. It has one more front pocket than my UK bag and the umbrella slides into a slot on the side rather than bungled to the back. Terrific bag for sure.

[Joyzee10]

My moneys on Joyzee, the rest of you boys should just take a week off and rest up for the next challenge...

 

Question wise, has anyone become more accurate with the F8's over their old sticks? Im especially interested in changes in accuracy with the lower lofted irons (4,5,6), and you guys that went one length might still be adjusting so I'm not necessarily asking you, but still feel free to chime in, especially if you've got them figured out by now. 

 

My man! Well, I kicked it off with a 10/18 performance. Shot 1 over 72. The way I started out on the range and then the first 3 holes, I thought I was gonna shoot 72 over! Had a few just miss too. First time at this course in 7 years so it was basically new to me. Playing it again Friday.

 

Are you guys ready to see how My game has progressed since I started using the Cobra F8's.... Numbers Do not lie..

Do not forget that i am still using MY old putter... 

 

These are my numbers from when I got my Arccos for my old clubs til I put the Cobras in play....

-The wedges have been a huge change for me. Before I had 52,56,60. I moved to 54,58 so there was some adjustments early on. I have found chipping and and play to be night and day. I am now scoring off my chips. Not blading and adding up the shots. 

 

-I recently moved the driver from neutral 9.5 to draw 9.5. I found I was fading/slicing randomly which was out of the norm for me! I dropped some bombs today. Par 5's aren't safe! Put one out at 348 today!! 348!! 

4/7 par 5's over my last 2 rounds have been eagle putts. My GIR % has jumped up big time. I will have to dig up official numbers. 

 

-No. The distances and feel is another level right now.

 

-I've played 2.

 

-Yes I would like some grip options. I don't mind these, but i absolutely loved the golf pride CP-2's

 

-Had a touch up lesson a few weeks back with a couple of mates. was nothing major. 

 

-Yes one a few months back. has since been added. 

 

-Longest drive.....

 

Needed birdie to shoot par... was inbetween 8 and 9 iron coming in... tried to ease an 8 - lifted up a bit and bladed it. Ended up pretty tight to back of the bunker and i had to lumber jack it out.... So close.... ugh...

I have picked up substansial distance at the top of my bag. I was hitting 6 irons 210 today. Thats 20 longer than what I would have ever got before. I will go into more detail soon.

I find the bag so-so really. I had the SLDR bag before and it was more roomy. THis bag while being very light, is very tight for clubs and the "easy fold" bottom can be a bit of a pain when trying to slide a club back in. I also notice that the legs on mine really hang down and flap around a bit - Anyone else?? 

[Nunfa0]

Joyzee10 off to a great start!!

 

How accurate is the Arccos system at picking up the " positional" shots?

Do any of you wish there was a manual option to be able to fix the shots it misses?

AS far as making adjustments to the clubs, are you referring to adjusting for optimal performace? Yes I have, with the driver I started in the 9.5* draw setting and HOLY cow it was more of a hook for me.. But I noticed across the board that the Cobra F8's, FOR ME are more draw biased. I was playing Wilson D300 irons and I had a slight fade, very slight.. And my Ping G 30 LST was a little all over the place.. SO i had to adjust the F8+ to a standard 9.5* and very straight.. I have adjusted it up to 10.5 and down to 8.5 and just felt most comfortable at 9.5..

 

The 3 wd I set it at 15* and Nutted one out to 253 off the deck.. it's set... Across the board and I think All of us will agree, these clubs are fantastic. the wedges are like throwing darts,WHEN hit well, go and stick.. 

 

For me the irons have a slightly different weight feel to them, which is ok, just taking a few round t get comfortable. As far as the progressive construction, Full hollow, cavity back, and wedge, work great just not really noticeable. These clubs are sharp to look at, in the bag they look outstanding.. 

 

The Bag.. I am coming from a Ping Traverse, MGS highly rated, which is an outstanding bag.. I got the Cobra ultralight Cart bag, and I know I have been missing some options from the top of the line cart bags, but Not any more.. It is bad when you are losing things in your bag cause you forgot what pocket they are in.. I love the bag. Prior to the Ping i had a decent Power Bilt bag so the Ping was a nice step up and now the cobra is even better.. My father in law has a OLD Sun mountian C130 and my best friend has a newer C130, and hey both were loving the Cobra bag.. 

 

SO yeah all in all I am very pleased with everything, Now if my hdcp keeps going down, I'm set.... 

 

 

 

Heres to JOYZEE representing the west coast with a 348... BOOM baby..

THis bag while being very light, is very tight for clubs and the "easy fold" bottom can be a bit of a pain when trying to slide a club back in. I also notice that the legs on mine really hang down and flap around a bit - Anyone else?? 

 

Joyzee, am i reading your graph correctly - you shot an 8i 195 yards?
