GeekingGolf Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I don't think switching the weights would be the best idea it probably only affects the spin by about 500 rpm and it would be more beneficial from an MOI standpoint to keep them in factory setting Sent from my SM-G960U using MyGolfSpy mobile app Quote "Obviously my iron play is incredible, and when I get going I can get hot, but this course just fits my eye.

While today was my worst fairway percentage it was also my best round. All four of my misses were in good spots and I ended up hitting 8 of 9 greens in regulation and shot 35.

palvord Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The Cobra F9 driver, may be the driver to shut down all competition for the spot in my bag. With how I hit the ball, the flight it produces, and the increased success rate for putting the ball in a good position for me off the tee, I don't want to even look at other drivers. Ever. When I went for my fitting, I told the fitter that I wanted to stand over the ball and feel confident that I knew where the ball was going to end up most of the time. We went through a few shafts and ended up with a shorter shaft (44.75") to provide greater control. That has been a huge win. Most of the time, I stand over the ball and feel that I know where it will go. According to the statistics, I am slowly eliminating my two way miss which makes me happy to see. Unfortunately, the miss right has been way offline and puts me into big trouble. My misses to the left now are not as far offline as previous drivers I have used. I am for the most part still in play with my left miss, which allows me an opportunity to score better. My distance has also improved using the F9 as my average is now 253yds. The more I use this club and practice, the more I fall in love with it. I used to dread needing to pull driver out of my bag because it was a guessing game as to what was going to happen. Now, I am disappointed when I can't use driver off the tee due to course setup. Now for my FIR stats for this week. Not every shot off the tee was with a driver. Some shots I took with the competition in mind, and others, I made decisions based on course set up.

Popular Post robertson153 Posted June 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2019 Sorry I’m late posting, been on call this weekend and it’s been one of those weekends. Before I got the Cobra f9 I gamed the Epic Flash, so I’m comparing, arguably, the two hottest drivers out. Here’s the stats from the Epic As you can see it was plenty long, but, my ball thought it was in the military, left right left right. The Cobra is also plenty long but just a fraction shorter on dead centered hits. I will take a few less yards all day long with added consistency. So far the Cobra has produced fairly straight ball flights, which I love. The misses though have been very wide misses. Don’t know if that is the driver or myself, time will tell. Only got one round in this week due to weather, rained every stupid day. But for that one round I hit 8-14 fairways. . My course has a lot of doglegs, almost every par 4, so the ones I missed were due to hitting it to far for that particular line (ain’t that something to complain about). I have to say I like the look of my Epic better at address. to me it’s just a cleaner look. I went with the HZRDUS smoke 6.5 low spin, and I gotta say it’s the best feeling shaft I’ve ever hit. The speed back part of the driver, where they claim so much forgiveness due to low center of gravity, is odd looking, but you can’t see it unless you look at it from behind. This driver makes a different sound than I’m used to. It’s almost like a “pop” sound, compared to the Flash that has a more “thud” sound. As for now I don’t see the Epic going back in the bag once this is over, but anything can happen. I do wish on the bottom they would’ve went all yellow instead of the red just think it would’ve looked better. Overall I give the F9 a 8.5, so far. Before this is over I’m hoping it’s a 10. My rating is purely based on results, no looks or sound factored in. Maybe next week the weather cooperates a little better so I can gather more data. I do have a two day tournament this coming up weekend. They make the course as hard as possible, so the whole bag will definitely get a workout. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy M.

How have the distances with the Cobra clubs and the Cobra Connect/Arccos measurements compared to your 'self-generated' distance expectations? Too early to tell on the arccos front, but for me with the One Lengths, good strikes are about the exact same as my old clubs, maybe 5-10 yards longer at most. The big difference is that the poor strikes are much much better for me on my old clubs, Especially with the long irons. I can hit a 4 iron fat and still have it roll out 160-180 yards, with my old clubs a chunked 4 iron wasnt going anywhere. 8 minutes ago, Shankster said: How’s the wedges fellas?

goaliewales14 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I was curious about the wedges as well! I was always curious how the "versatile" grind has more bounce than the "widelow" grind. I've been playing around with the Ping Glide 2.0 TS (very low bounce) to replace my WS (high bounce) and was curious can you really go by Cobra's bounce numbers?

How have the distances with the Cobra clubs and the Cobra Connect/Arccos measurements compared to your 'self-generated' distance expectations? Honestly, I am hitting the ball further than expected when I see the ball flight. There have been multiple times where I have audibly said, "That's short," when the ball was in flight only to see it hit beyond my target. It has been a learning curve for me to truly dial in my "new" distances. I've decreased my short misses on approaches by 7.1% as of today and increased my long approach misses by 3.1%. (Approach shot stats) Distances given from the system of yards to specific hazards or aim points have been very accurate for me. I compare to my wife's Garmin watch and it is within 1-2yds of each system. 29 minutes ago, Shankster said: How’s the wedges fellas? Sick!

M. Parsons Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 @bardle you may have already mentioned this before, but since you have the One length irons, does it feel really odd playing a longer PW and then using a regular length Gap/Sand/Lob wedges.

Popular Post STUDque Posted June 24, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2019 Week 2 Recap and announcement for Week 3 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Week 2 Recap... Competitors: @robertson153 wasn’t kidding when he said he was here for the skill contests. He took the crown this week in resounding fashion and inched closer to the winner’s circle. Mr Steady, @Bucky CC remains in first overall with his third straight Top-2 finish. Forum Members: There was much debate (and how glorious it was), but I’m here to give you the one, true answer to the Trivia question. I added some explanations for the ones that produced confusion. Number of competitors [5] Challenge weeks [8] -Pre-chatter was a month and is also not a challenge week. If we counted that, it should’ve been Total exclamation points in Robertson's intro [4] Number of shots Bucky won his flight by [11] Total number of votes cast for the Pre-Chatter poll [195] -Gotta add them up individually since the bonuses were added and produced a higher total. Overall HC sum of the 5 testers (rounded) [82] -Basic math rule to add first, then round the final number. 81.6 rounds to 82. Nunfa's age [47] Number of holes that went into palvord’s baseline [126] -Although he listed rounds, he also expressly called out the hole count Number of shots Bardle hit with his 5 iron [28] = Final Answer: 280 -Order of operations was built in so that shouldn’t have tripped anyone up. CONGRATS to @sirchunksalot for providing the first, correct answer! Wish I could give you bonus points for doing the math on Styrofoam. Hope you enjoy your new kicks; keep an eye out for a PM from me. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Week 3 Challenges... Many of the challenges this year are similar to last year but we've got some new wrinkles to introduce for some unique flavor. Various weekly prizes will be available to forum members based on challenges set forth. We’re counting the weekends as transition days (count for both weeks) to help the guys gather more stats. Competitors: No need to fix it if it’s not broken. Here comes another traditional challenge. Our competitors will be graded on their GIR % for the week plus a bonus based on baseline approach handicap. Review: The competitors will also be sharing a 100-word review this week of the irons now that they're putting them to a trial by fire. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Forum Members: Banter like Bryson. Heckling is fun yeah? How about we do it in character. Time to heckle the competitors as if you’re Mr Dechambeau himself. 1 heckle = 1 entry into a wheel spin for a prize. Here’s an example: “You don’t even know the barometric pressure of your 9-iron’s apex!!” Prize: The lucky winner this week will receive a Puma Hat and Shirt. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ MattF, palvord, Bucky CC and 9 others 11 1 Quote In my Pisa, riding on a 3.5+ G410+ EXS 5W King F7 Hy i500 5-GW Equalizer 56/60 Heppler Ketsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
