#CobraCONNECT Challenge 3


STUDque

Recommended Posts

 

Alright, so last night prior to the scramble I hit about 30 shots with the 4 iron on the range. I had some low bullets, but most of them were fine, they are about average trajectory for me for a 4 iron. I was however convinced that they weren't going the 200 yards or so that my old one did. 

So on our second to last hole yesterday in the scramble we had 205 to the pin and sure enough, I didn't even hit the thing that well and It went dead on line right at the flag. once we get up there I'm the only one in our group to hit the green and its 10 feet in front of the pin...That was one of the putts I made..but the point is, it works, it doesn't feel like it works, but it definitely does...

@goaliewales14 I can't stress enough though that with the one lengths, more than any other club I have ever hit, overswinging the short clubs (4,5,6) will only result in tragedy. You really have to just get to the point mentally where you trust the process and trust the lofts and just swing it smooth and watch what happens...

Sounds like a mental block, I have suffered the same one many times. Keep fighting brother, I'm sure it will come right when you need it 😁

Thanks yeah, its just some practice needed I think. I mean I've played 27 holes with it. I have had some really good shots, but with my old F7 I always felt like I could walk up and smash it and not have to worry *too* much.

Bardle we need to keep our eye on Nunfa.  His advice may just be reverse psychology.  He's sneaky like that.

Enjoyed reading the intros and the pre-chatter. It looks like this group is going to have a lot of fun during this challenge. I've got some interest in the Arccos system, and potential for a full fitting through Golftec due before next spring, so I'm following along to see how the game tracking helps you guys, and the performance of the Cobras. I got a chance to hit the F9 driver at a local demo day and really liked it.

Hit 'em well fellas, and have fun!

Well.... the driver is nice, the wedges are sexy, the three wood flies nice, the hybrid is a surprise and have I mentioned the irons....


Ok... so would you say the hybrid is an early favorite/go-to? Seems like there’s always that one club you can always pull with 100% confidence in every situation. I totally get that the whole set is amazing, so do you already have a “security blanket” or is it still a solid competition?

It really is early days so no clear favorites yet. The hybrid is the club that at the beginning had the smallest chance of staying in the bag. Let's just say it's chances are improving and leave it at that for now....

Sunk 3 of our teams 4 birdie putts with the new stick. One of which was a 25 footer.... You Bucky fans sure you don't want to jump ship now? Before it's too late? 

That's why the driver is misbehaving, it's jealous of the new putter!! Wedgie and your wife must have spilt the beans in front of it 😂😎

My security blanket is surprisingly the 54 degree wedge. I'm not sure what it is but I never chunk or thin the thing. For the first time in my life I have wedge shots check up and spin back, the only thing I'm still developing is feel for shots inside full range(100 or so). 

...Although...this is a looks thing, I'm already starting to see the finish wear on the wedge which seems odd to me..I hit it alot but I always wipe it off if its wet..I mean its only been like a round and a half that I've used it..Any of you other guys noticing this? 

And also the 7 iron, classically. I just never have trouble hitting it and its always dead straight.

I haven't noticed wear with any of the clubs.  Everything is started to get nice and dirty, but there is no wear on any of them.

Not sure what my favorite club is yet.  From the usages stats the driver and 58° wedge both have been used more than double any other club.  Maybe one of those?

I definitely need to play more rounds.  Last night I was 134 yards from the green and Arccos Caddie suggested a 6 iron.  Earlier in the round it recommended a 7 iron from 180 yards out (which is probably correct).  Apparently I've only hit my 6 iron once in 48 holes and it was a 130 yard punch out.  All of my irons have pretty messed up smart distances with the limited rounds we've recorded so far.

Cobra uses the same DBM finish as what is on my Maltby wedges. It wears, but unlike PVD, it turns more a shade of gray than wearing to plain metal. The finish is actually impregnated into the metal and is not just a coating.

Both of my wedges were new this spring. The leading edges of both are now pretty worn. Not in an ugly fashion, though.

Wedgie, do you really think we are going to admit that we're missing our current gamers this early? We have so many rounds to play, so many challenges to win, so many burns to deliver...😁😎

Maybe so, but admit it, it was fun to read. 😁😎

A good challenge would be listening to the Arrcos caddie for a round and see what happens.

Yeah, you're right. @Wedgie only has the  mental maturity of a 6 year old, and it might not be suitable for him to watch.

Cobra uses the same DBM finish as what is on my Maltby wedges. It wears, but unlike PVD, it turns more a shade of gray than wearing to plain metal. The finish is actually impregnated into the metal and is not just a coating.

Both of my wedges were new this spring. The leading edges of both are now pretty worn. Not in an ugly fashion, though. 

Excellent feedback edingc!  It is a little like the dad coming in to calm down the rowdy kids with actual insightful information.

I'm not sure what it is but I never chunk or thin the thing.

Anyone else thinking that the only thing that could have jinxed this statement more is if the TV announcers were saying right before he hits the shot?

That Haka is not bad but try these two...

Why would I ever try to do a Haka when we have these guys to do it for us? Besides the Haka is sacred to NZ and I would never disrespect it with my total lack of ability and middle aged white guyness. I know it would be hilarious but I would injure myself trying and that would ruin the challenge. So I'm sorry but my hands are tied....

🤣😂😁😎

I hope you don't make this many excuses for your golf game.

You mean for the two fairways I actually hit off the tee tonight?  Both ended up being wedges that hit the green.  I think my subconsious realized I hit the F9 irons better from the rough so I'm inadvertently pushing and pulling my tee shots out of the fairway.  


Excuses, excuses, excuses.

I wonder if any of them miss their old clubs.

Not a chance in hell. The F9’s are now my obsession.

I’m Sméagol slowly becoming Gollum, but with F9’s instead of a ring with my crazed obsessiveness.

Uhhhh YEAH that's not too shabby!!

For you and the other contestants in the challenge - any early frontrunners for "favorite" Cobra club in the bag yet? 

 

Driver, 5 iron, 56 wedge.

 

Driver - the shorter shaft is possibly helping too, but I am finding the center of the fairway more often than I was in the past. Currently, Arccos has me at 245 yards as my average. I’ll take that in the center of the fairway every day

 

5 iron - has become a driving iron for me. Arccos has my average at 196 yards for my average and that is a mix off of the tee or off the deck. It cuts through the rough easily when needed, launches high on almost all shots, and lands soft on the green. In my old set, I rarely used my 5 iron. Now, I cannot play a round without using it multiple times.

 

56 wedge - the versatility has been amazing. My previous 56, I never felt like I could take a full swing with. I’ve now been able to use it for full swings as well as pitching and chipping. It has become a go to club around the green, where my 52 used to be my go to.

A good challenge would be listening to the Arrcos caddie for a round and see what happens.


To follow caddie advice, you need a strong baseline of club statistics.

That challenge would be great after a season of play.

After testing the Arccos system in the fall, my club distances didn’t fully average out until after 30 or so rounds of play.
