ole gray Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I've seen a lot of positive comments on the Cobra F-Max irons. Last year's mode as well as the current 2019 model are built to help golfers with declining swing speeds and trouble elevating the ball. Has anyone tried these featherweight irons and if so, what are your thoughts? https://mygolfspy.com/first-look-cobra-f-max-superlite-series/ Wedgie 1 Quote Ping G430 Max Driver 10.5 Degree Titleist TSR1 4, 5, & 6 Hybrids Titleist T350 Irons 7 - W48 Cleveland CBX ZipCore 52 56 & 60 Degree Wedges LAB Mezz Max Broomstick Putter / TPT Shaft (Platinum @ 45/78) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ole gray Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 I picked up a set of these yesterday and will be posting a few of my thoughts as I spend some time with them. With my 7 iron speed in the upper 60 to lower 70 range these should be an interesting experiment. fozcycle, cnosil, Rickp and 4 others 7 Quote Ping G430 Max Driver 10.5 Degree Titleist TSR1 4, 5, & 6 Hybrids Titleist T350 Irons 7 - W48 Cleveland CBX ZipCore 52 56 & 60 Degree Wedges LAB Mezz Max Broomstick Putter / TPT Shaft (Platinum @ 45/78) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook DeLoft Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Looking forward to your impressions. My swing speed is 72 to 75 mph with a 7 iron and I definitely need help elevating the ball.

tdkrod Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I’m interested in your opinion also, since you’ve had success with Cleveland and Callaway, my swing speed is slower also. These clubs can be found at good prices. Just haven’t heard much about them. ole gray and fozcycle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ole gray Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Ok so here are my thoughts on the F-Max Super Light Cobra irons. They do help you elevate the ball high so if you're having problems with low trajectory, these should help you get the ball up more consistently. One thing you need to understand. The lofts are not as strong as the majority of the new sets on the market. Higher loft usually means less distance for us average golfers so if you already have a set of irons with the jacked up lofts, you might be disappointed with total distance. I suppose this depends on your swing speed, smash factor, etc. My swing was in the toilet for the two rounds I gamed the F-Max. My smash factor couldn't smash a hot plate of mashed potatoes, so don't take my word as the rule of thumb on the distance thing. Update: My swing is coming around so we may be putting these back in the holster for another round. I'll report back with more info once I've had some quality time with em.

ole gray Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 It's amazing how much better these irons are performing now that I'm putting a decent move on the ball! I suppose it's a blessing that no one bought them because they are really growing on me. They feel sooooooooo good when you flush one and I'm seeing more distance creeping back. I'm excited to see how this turns out! It's easy to blame our crappy game on equipment and if we only stay with them long enough to see the cream rise to the top, surprise surprise surprise.

Cleveland HB Irons More distance with same high ball flight Better than average forgiveness Great durability Suitable for high as well as low handicappers. Better resale value Cobra F-Max Superlite Irons Better looking Irons IMO Easier to flight down Comes with midsize grips which I prefer Outstanding forgiveness So far the durability is solid Great for mid to high handicappers.
