Now wait a damn minute! You're playing at altitude which gives you a 12% advantage in distance, so I'm gonna need 9 strokes!😆 We have moved up one tee box so as not to annoy the other golfers trying to get in under 5-hours.

Yowsers!  Found a nerve 🤣

Don’t worry, I turn 63 on Sunday.  Not a young limber-y pup but a grey headed, arthritis ridden bogey golfer. The altitude does help though. 

I did get out today and practice chipping with my PW.  Not as hard to pick up as I thought it would be.  I think we’ll be okay 👌

Well @edingc here is my entry for this little duel: 

 I was unable to best you: I choked, plain and simple, bogey on 2 of the last 3 and bogey or worse on 4 of the last 5, two of those from the fairway!   On the bright side though I hit a lot more fairways than I normally do😀!   1100170245_CCC4IronsOnly2.JPG.e1f3e11ec6af740a25551ab60ce70ea6.JPG

Here are the course details: 

Just under 6500 yards when it is maxed out.  Played the tips and they played about 6400. The course rating is 118. NO GIMMES! 

Much like @GolfSpy MPR I missed my wedges WAAAAAY more than anything else as the distance control on my PW isn't exactly dialed in for less than full shots and it was VERY difficult to chip out of the thick Bermuda rough. 

 But i did learn a valuable lesson, it is OK to not take driver.  It didn't hurt my play ability all that badly and I actually found myself avoiding bad spots off the tee.  Usually, I never know where my 2nd shot will be from when I pull that driver out. So even though I could not best the 84 I left the course feeling pretty good about my first irons-only round. I will be playing this course differently from now on. I guess I'll settle for the 2nd best pair of calves on MGS 😉  Hope you can lower that 84 this weekend! Good luck! 663797990_CCC4IronsOnlyRound.JPG.cc7eb2996d7a8b33d07706e99f88143a.JPG

 

Oh and trying to get out of a bunker with a set PW is what will be haunting my dreams for a long time now. That SUCKED!

Okay, so my irons only attempt is in! Ended up shooting a 72 (+3), on a course of 68.6/128. This round very closely mimicked last week’s fairways and greens challenge. My biggest takeaway was how much I missed my wedges. I short sided myself a few times and failed to get up and down each time. Here are a few highlights, and then my total round breakdown.

It has been fun and , dare I say enlightening to follow this challenge. Though I wonder how done if you find that much time to be on line.

The all iron challenge would really be fun to participate in but I’ve got a guys trip this weekend and (since this is Cobra sponsored) the Kraken must be unleashed. But it reminded me of an exercise my pro put me through a several years ago when I was struggling. He took away everything longer than my six iron - adjusted par giving me a new target to shoot for and once I reached it I could have my longer clubs back.

Good luck to you all.

Bad news then. I’ve tried some of the cobra/puma polos. The are silky smooth and feel sublime. I was very impressed. 

+1 on that.  I was pretty impressed with their polos.  I'm usually an Addidas or Nike shirt guy but I'm thinking of buying more Cobra/Puma shirts.  One of my favorites in terms of comfort.

Official Forged Tec Irons Review - GB13

DD7B912A-0169-4998-BEEC-8B27D1729F87.jpeg.d657ae03971ea398d0d7dde9aa34d69a.jpeg

 Player’s distance is one of the fastest growing irons categories. The Forged Tec are Cobra’s first serious offering to compete with clubs like the P790 and I500. How do they compare? Let’s find out!!

I was lucky enough to receive a Forged Tec set in 4-PW with Stiff KBS $Taper Lites. I was originally fit into Modus3 105s, however these were unavailable at the time and Cobra advised me that these were the next closest shaft option. Previously, I gamed PING I200 irons which are more player’s irons as opposed to player’s distance. I was looking for more forgiveness without compromising workability. 

 

Looks - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars

These irons are drop dead gorgeous. They maintain a classic look, with not too much offset, and a reasonably thin top line. The matte and chrome color play is simply perfect. For a company known to be a bit flashy these will absolutely appeal to any traditionalist. There isn’t a whole lot to say here, which is a testament to the classic appearance of these clubs. 

9BA01117-B688-4DA7-A987-67C72780F899.jpeg.218e2710f8db1f9f2bd3eac72a37bb0e.jpeg

29BBF4D1-F5F2-4909-BC12-BA9A85D59FE7.jpeg.d6ae224a7bcac1bc86131affde0e73c7.jpeg

6AC9C614-8E02-43B8-989C-A297154152A2.jpeg.1e36fbfb754562c70375ae47807f51d4.jpeg

Sound and Feel - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars

Solid strikes offer a pretty good thwack, and feel pretty much like a player’s distance iron. Minor mishits sound and feel pretty good as well, but major toe shots sound and feel terrible. 

Even though the Forged Tec faces are forged (obviously), I still prefer the sound and feel of my cast PINGs. Don’t get me wrong, these are still quite satisfying, they just don’t offer the same crunch my PINGs did. 

 

Basic Characteristics - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Stars

I usually need a lot of creativity to recover from my tee shots, so having an iron that is workable is very important to me. The Forged Tec irons certainly are workable left and right, however it takes some effort. For the most part, these things was to fly straight, and it’ll take something significant to stop them from doing that. That said, I’ve not had any trouble hitting the shots I need to. 

My biggest complaint about the Forged Tec so far is the inability to take a decent divot. I know @B.Boston has referenced this as helping fat shots, however I feel my fat shots are almost just as bad, and I’m unsure if my good swings are actually good. 😬 I like seeing a decent sized divot, especially with the scoring irons, and the lack of divots keeps making me question if the strike was descending or not. Hopefully I’ll get used to this, because the results have been pretty good.

On-Course Performace - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars

Performance wise, these have been outstanding. They are forgiving, easy to hit, workable, and pretty darn long. 

Well struck shots stop on a dime, and while you shouldn’t expect muscleback spin rates, and 7 iron seems to get about 6000RPM of backspin, which is very respectable for a player’s distance iron.

I do recall some complaints of “hotspots” with other players distance irons like the P790, and I’m happy to report, that I haven’t found them. And trust me, I’ve tested every square millimeter of the club face. 😉

My scoring seems to have gotten more consistently low since changing to the Forged Tec. I’ve posted my lowest round of the season, and my irons only round was quite spectacular. These are long off the tee, and precise with approaches. I couldn’t be happier with the on course results.

 

Play it or Trade it - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars

I miss the sound and feel of my PINGs, I really do, but I couldn’t justify putting them back into play with the way the Forged Tec have performed. I would like to see some divots start flying, but overall the performance has just been amazing, so they’re in the bag!

 

Overall - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars

Overall, these irons perform wonderfully. If you’re in the market for players distance irons, or even just players irons, you’d be remiss to not try these. 

I’m looking forward to putting more time in with my new sticks as the challenge progresses, and hopefully they can keep dropping my approach handicap further. (Spoiler 😜)

Have really enjoyed reading your reviews my friend another great one. It has to be the style of iron because my 790s do the same thing divot wise....they just are not there and I typically would take scalps. Those things are beautiful though for sure, best of both worlds.

First off let me start with WOW...Irons only was both frustrating, fun and of course challenging.

Paired up with 3 folks, Graham, John and his son...John (will get into my total round thoughts on How'd you play) all very nice, different styles and skills but all had the same dumb founded look when I rolled up with this: (Note wedges were only in here so I could toss some around the green and greenside bunkers as I am swapping over from my CBX2's to the SM7's)

Clubs.jpg.fb58ebf11f264b95a9a4abe51758c25b.jpg

First few holes they probably thought in their head "this jamoke has no idea what hes doing" and they were right I got eaten up not realizing that I should probably game plan the hole and not be left with 80-100 yard PW shots...

Front.PNG.26c470895cbafd65294fd2960cd53a39.PNG

It wasn't until one of the guys (Graham) said "just relax man if we were that good we would be out in San Francisco right now" on hole 4...The round completely turned around there. I also found this sucker on hole 6 and proceeded to get my full Ricky on:

Puma.jpg.dada716c026e9280d2c12e2364153fba.jpgRicky.jpg.0e0fb0d00a7ea217e6ca982afde22da5.jpg

Back.PNG.a80f5cde404d003a084b54b90fd61b1e.PNG

Long story short I had a fantastic day shooting 79 and my handicap on this course is a 9 (also helped that my putting was on fire) which is A) my best score for this course ever and B) My lowest round this year

One of those days (wasnt chipping much today other than the first few holes) just came together. Send some more of those up here....I might be transitioning to those damn things and getting all PUMA gear! (FYI for anyone that does not own a PUMA hat this thing is comfortable as hell, I WILL be buying more of these, bye bye fitted hats).

Nice shooting! Amazing how we all can still score OK without so many clubs.

There are so many holes there where now I’m thinking maybe driver just isn’t the play? Granted my putting is the major difference (7 1 putts) but I was never in trouble (hole 9 took a drop and had a horse show up my arse for a par)

Yeah those hats are great. So great, in fact, that my 14yo snags any that show up as soon as they arrive LOL

First off let me start with WOW...Irons only was both frustrating, fun and of course challenging.
Paired up with 3 folks, Graham, John and his son...John (will get into my total round thoughts on How'd you play) all very nice, different styles and skills but all had the same dumb founded look when I rolled up with this: (Note wedges were only in here so I could toss some around the green and greenside bunkers as I am swapping over from my CBX2's to the SM7's)
Clubs.jpg.fb58ebf11f264b95a9a4abe51758c25b.jpg
First few holes they probably thought in their head "this jamoke has no idea what hes doing" and they were right I got eaten up not realizing that I should probably game plan the hole and not be left with 80-100 yard PW shots...
Front.PNG.26c470895cbafd65294fd2960cd53a39.PNG
It wasn't until one of the guys (Graham) said "just relax man if we were that good we would be out in San Francisco right now" on hole 4...The round completely turned around there. I also found this sucker on hole 6 and proceeded to get my full Ricky on:

Back.PNG.a80f5cde404d003a084b54b90fd61b1e.PNG
Long story short I had a fantastic day shooting 79 and my handicap on this course is a 9 (also helped that my putting was on fire) which is A) my best score for this course ever and B) My lowest round this year

Great round Shark! I know I’ll be considering more hybrids and irons than I have in the past. Depending on where the best part of the fairway is. Glad the putter is heating up again too.

Honesty, biggest difference for me in scoring consistently in the mid-low 80s and sometimes 70s this year has been taking less than a driver on a lot of holes. I'm getting better with the driver, but it can still cost me a lot more than an iron or hybrid most of the time.
