#CobraCONNECT Challenge 3


STUDque

Recommended Posts

just a small update on my driver issues fellas, as you all know the F9 for me was soooo low it was making me look at other drivers, however, with all golf issues it's the Indian not the arrow. Sorted out my swing and the F9 has been beautiful the last 2 rounds, long and a good height with a great sound. I've also switched to the chromesoft and z star and I swear I'm getting an extra 10 yards over my Titleist 910D3.

Not related to this thread that much, but it seems somewhat appropriate to put it here since I won the shirt during last year's challenge (thanks to Stud's dog).

I was leery when I got the shirt - me and white shirts do not mix. I've had sunblock ring-around-the-collar stains, coffee, spaghetti, hamburger grease, and the whole back got a stain from an old wicker rocker on my aunt's deck. A little shout or soaking in oxyclean and it still looks almost new and I wear it a lot. Kudos to Puma for making a shirt for slobs that is easy to care for! 

Congrats to all the competitors and @JohnSmalls for a job well done!

Great challenge guys. Thank you for your hard work and the 2 months of reviews. Congrats @Bucky CC on the win. Well deserved, you crushed it. 

Thanks guys for your kind words as well. Thanks @GolfSpy STUDque and the mods. Not sure I’m deserving, but I am very thankful.  Can’t wait to see what the F9 can do! 

Nice thing is we'll all be able to see since it has Arccos!!

Looking forward to it. I’ll be there in a couple of weeks. It’s a work trip, maybe time for some golf, maybe not. Anytime you’re in the bluegrass, shoot me a message.

My club championship tournament is this weekend.  I'll be in the Championship flight, which is lowest 8 handicaps (plus anyone else that wants to challenge themselves) playing from the tips with no handicap.  They also get the greens rolling at their fastest of the year and put the pins in some ridiculous places.

We used to have a couple of scratch golfers at our public course but now I think the lowest is a 3.1.  The Cobra Challenge has helped me get down to a 5.0 trend so I should have a chance if I play well.

Are you going with the full Cobra setup or mixing it up a bit?

I'm not 100% sure yet.  I've been testing a lot of irons out there and currently have a demo set of Mizuno 919 Forged irons in the bag.  I shot a 44 over 9 holes with them last Thursday (not good) but came back with a 76 on Saturday.

I have a practice round from the tips scheduled for tomorrow and will make a decision after that.  There's definitely a comfort level with the F9's knowing all of my distances thanks to the 20+ Arccos rounds during the CCC3.

If I do switch anything out it will only be the 5-PW.  All of the other Cobra clubs are keepers.  👍

My club tournament is also this weekend. I will be playing 100% Cobra F9s. I’ve gotten so comfortable with them I don’t see me changing to anything in the near future. We have several hovering around scratch, with 3 guys on the + side, my 10.9 will put me in the front of the 2nd flight. Good luck to you sir.

And to you as well.  Just pretend it's week 2, 6, or 8 of the CCC3 challenge and you'll finish on top for sure.

I'm sorry but the replacement irons may need to stay in the bag for me.  Today I played the back tees from my course in preparation for the club championship this weekend.  The round went extremely well and shot a rock solid 75 from the back tees (around 6700 yards) at my home course.  I love my Cobra driver, fairway, hybrids, and wedges, but I think I'm sold on the Mizuno JPX 919 Forged irons.

With today's 75 I also am trending to my lowest handicap ever; down to a 4.6.  90% of the credit goes to the amazing Cobra lineup with a special shout out to Evnroll putters and Mizuno irons.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What’s the main difference for you with the irons? I’m curious because I’ve been having driver issues with the F9 and went back to my Rogue yesterday.

That could be all mental on my end, so I’m wondering what’s the benefit you’re seeing with the Mizunos over the Cobras.

It is still very early with them but the main two so far are better distance control and accuracy.  They are a few yards shorter than the F9's but I haven't experienced any rockets that go much farther than I wanted like the Cobras.  They're also quite a bit nicer to look at with the thinner topline and cavity back that you can't see standing over the ball.

It's a combination of performance in a tighter dispersion/shot area plus personal preference in the smaller club head.

It's a combination of performance in a tighter dispersion/shot area plus personal preference in the smaller club head.

I didn't think the F9s would suit you, did you try the Cobra forged tecs?

It's funny but I have gotten better distance control from the F9s than my Hotmetals. It will be interesting to see how they go in the summer but I'm confident that they will stay consistent.

I tried Cobra Forged Tec, Callaway Apex/Apex Pro, TaylorMade P760, Ping i500 & i210, Srixon Z585/785, Titleist AP2, Mizuno 919 Forged, Hot Metal, and Hot Metal Pro.  Some of those I only hit three shots with and immediately set them down because I knew they were not right for me.  In the end the top 3 were:

Mizuno JPX 919 Forged
Callaway Apex Pro
Cobra Forged Tec

The Mizuno's weren't the longest of the bunch but the combination of shot dispersion, forgiveness, spin, launch angle, peak height, etc made it a clear winner.  The winning shaft was the KBS Tour stiff.

My one regret when I bought the Hotmetals was not trying the Forged. I do love the feel of the F9s when you absolutely flush one.

Round one of my club championship is in the books.  I had two penalty shots off the tee and made zero birdies during the round.  Everything else was nearly perfect and I ended up with a 76 to put me in 2nd place; one shot behind the leader.

The final round is tomorrow morning.  I'll check back in with the good news or the tears of sorrow sometime after the round.

Today's final round of my club championship was cancelled.  We started off with a 2 hour rain delay but they decided to make it a one day tournament after heavy rains made the course unplayable.  My score of 76 stands as the 2nd best out of 30 people.  Unfortunately the one person with a better score was also in my flight.

I should be happy with 2nd but I can't help but feel dissapointed that I didn't even have the chance to try and catch the leader.  Oh well.

Round one of my club championship played yesterday. Very mediocre 82. Hit 2 tee shots OB. Good news is 81 is leading my flight so I’m feeling good about my chances. I’ll update later tonight.

Hey @Nunfa0 how did you like your shorter Tour issue F9 driver?  Do you ever wish you had gone with the standard 45.5" length?

I've been struggling with accuracy off the tee and I'm debating if I want to cut down my F9 an inch and order the heavier Cobra weights to keep the swing weight the same.
