Week 3 Challenges!

OK all, time to announce the challenges for the third week of Cobra Connect!

For our testers: our focus this week is on the core of the bag: the irons. Our testers will be playing irons-only this week (plus a putter; we're not totally cruel). Best net score with only irons wins the week!

For forum members: it's time to really become part of the challenge! You've read the introductions, and you have a sense for which of our competitors' games is most like your own. Think you can take down this year's contestants? Now's your chance. Call out the Cobra tester you want to be competing against (the one most similar to your own handicap/level of play), and you will also complete an irons-only round. Post your scores here in the thread.

You get one entry for issuing a challenge and two more if you beat the tester you challenged. From the entries, we'll do a random draw for this week's prize.

Nice new wrinkle to CCC! This is gonna be fantastic!

Wow, this would be fun!  Unfortunately, I can't really participate...when I do get out I'm bombing away with the Honma TR20, an iron's-only round ain't on the agenda.  You dodged a bullet this time around @B.Boston!🤣

Speaking of Honma, don't forget to check out that thread too! (Shameless pirating I know...)

Rules clarification: it's 4-PW, no other wedges. A hybrid is permitted if it's your 4-iron slot. No more than 8 clubs+putter.

It's on @GolfSpy MPR!

Played my first irons only round today. We settled on a single hybrid, plus 4-PW (or 5-PW depending on set makeup) for the competition. I haven't hit the 2 hybrid much yet throughout this competition, but I do have an advantage in that it does go pretty far at 17 degrees of loft. Hit a few in the 225-235 range off the tee today, so that's helpful.

As I mentioned in my review, my iron game has been really shaky. No exception today, but I did hit some better shots throughout the round that gives me some hope of better rounds to come. 

Toughest part of the round was playing shots around the green with the SpeedZone pitching wedge. Finding touch from 25-45 yards is difficult. I may need to alter my strategy for weekend rounds to avoid those kind of distances. I didn't putt well today at all either, but I did avoid major blowup holes and scored right around where I've been since putting the Cobra stuff into play.

Alright, the closest one to my handicap is Dave

So lets go @Headhammer, also sorry dude, you are going down.

 

On 6/6/2020 at 1:18 PM, Headhammer said:

I’m Dave Hains, my friends call me “Hammer” and you know me here as HeadHammer or as I have recently been monikered - The Quiet Assassin. I’ve always been a fan of everything COBRA. As a young boy I was an honorary member of the COBRA Kai -Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy!

152431923_ScreenShot2020-07-19at5_42_12PM.png.84c463158c5983587cb2c9b1eebdeb47.png

 

My favorite TV show in the 80’s was COBRA, starring the very underrated actor Michael Dudikoff.

My favorite movie role has always been Stallone’s portrayal of Lt. Marion “COBRA” Cobretti, who could ever forget the classic line “You’re da disease and I am da cure!”

 

iu-8.jpeg.abbc2165863171dc6a4e1ef5daed9023.jpeg

 

And, unlike the other posers in this competition, I have always been a fan of COBRA Golf, having owned & exclusively used their King Cobra irons for the last 24 years! So, when I entered this contest on a whim, I was ecstatic to be selected to participate in the 2020 Cobra Connect Challenge!

1993900290_IMG_26122.JPG.5c5c7826e0defad99ed5bb99b3ec95bd.JPG

I’ve been golfing on and off for the last 30 years, playing a lot in my younger years, not as much in my older years, in fact I’ve played over 250 different golf courses around the world. Unfortunately, as I’ve gotten older, my distance off the tee has suffered, and while I’ve moved up from the Blues to the Whites, I’m not quite ready to move to the old guy tees. The loss of distance has been the predominant factor in my elevated handicap. Which is why I’m counting on the improved technology of the COBRA SpeedZone woods & irons to improve my distance, FIR, GIR and my scores.

1908999684_ClubYardages.png.06837ab1a106cfeceacc6f80b4da3889.png

 

 

What will I have in my bag for this challenge? A well rounded armamentarium of COBRA clubs that set me up perfectly in the predetermined competitions.

WIMBMGS.jpeg.af387308a7e2a3fe46589eef9e276161.jpeg

 

Why should you vote for me in this challenge? Besides the fact that the new technology COBRA has bestowed upon me with the SpeedZone has already shown improvement in distance, 10-15 yards per club, as a high handicapper I have an advantage going into a number of the competitions. If you don’t think a high handicapper can win this thing, I’d like to provide the court with Exhibit: A, the winner of the COBRA Connect 2 Challenge - @FOZCYCLE. Coincidently, Foz started around the same HCP as me (17.9) and with new COBRA equipment brought it down to a 12!

Finally, if new technology and a high handicap are not enough to get your vote for Team Hammer, well then, you should get on board because we have the coolest damn name and logo! #TEAMHAMMER.

STRIKE FIRST, STRIKE HARD............NO MERCY!

You all are cute playing with Cobras, I was born and raised in the Jungle, I had cobras, wolves and tigers as pets.

Come on.

Actually to make it fair, I challenge all of the competitors.

Interesting....

I've never officially played an iron-only round, although I used to tee off exclusively with a 4 iron because I couldn't hit a wood to save my life. Too bad I can't hit a 4i like I used to, but I may need to strongly consider challenging someone. @edingc seems to have the most similar game to mine, but he is a ~5 strokes better. @daviddvm's baseline is pretty close to mine, but it seems we get there in different ways.

Cool 4 to PW, + the putter.

So by when we are posting those scores?

Also is the course rating and slope taken in account? or just straight out scores?

Do I need to play one round against each competitor, or can I use the same round stats against all?

Week 3 Challenges!

OK all, time to announce the challenges for the third week of Cobra Connect!

For our testers: our focus this week is on the core of the bag: the irons. Our testers will be playing irons-only this week (plus a putter; we're not totally cruel). Best net score with only irons wins the week!

For forum members: it's time to really become part of the challenge! You've read the introductions, and you have a sense for which of our competitors' games is most like your own. Think you can take down this year's contestants? Now's your chance. Call out the Cobra tester you want to be competing against (the one most similar to your own handicap/level of play), and you will also complete an irons-only round. Post your scores here in the thread.

You get one entry for issuing a challenge and two more if you beat the tester you challenged. From the entries, we'll do a random draw for this week's prize.

Oh it’s on like image.gif.e2a61f7eafeb490a83f1de1426314e19.gif

As much as I would like to cal out the young gun @GB13 let’s be honest he would whoop my ass (in golf). I am going to have to challenge @edingc your approach and chipping is stronger than mine so will be interesting!

Week 3 Challenges!

OK all, time to announce the challenges for the third week of Cobra Connect!

For our testers: our focus this week is on the core of the bag: the irons. Our testers will be playing irons-only this week (plus a putter; we're not totally cruel). Best net score with only irons wins the week!

For forum members: it's time to really become part of the challenge! You've read the introductions, and you have a sense for which of our competitors' games is most like your own. Think you can take down this year's contestants? Now's your chance. Call out the Cobra tester you want to be competing against (the one most similar to your own handicap/level of play), and you will also complete an irons-only round. Post your scores here in the thread.

You get one entry for issuing a challenge and two more if you beat the tester you challenged. From the entries, we'll do a random draw for this week's prize.

Who do I pick....?

I need to rope @Erik-M into this challenge as well: he and I need to go out and play irons only. He'll have the Hogan Icons that he's testing, I'll have my new Sub 70 699 Pros that I'm getting today. Erik would have to challenge @GB13. It'll be Cobra vs. the Direct to Consumer iron 

let's do it!

So first I note that this is a MIM.  Are you or the others noticing any appreciable difference in sound over cast wedges you play?  Second, is the odd scallop on the sole, and particularly that it has cut grooves, purpose?

They are firm sounding. Based on the description of the MIM process, I think it's closer to cast than forged? At least to my understanding.

The scallop on the sole is a unique Cobra thing, I think. It helps keep the leading edge lower to the turf when the face is opened up.

If that is what the scallop is meant to do, I definitely think it works. I’ve found it much easier to hit open face shots off of tight-ish lies. Much less fear of hitting it thin.
