braincramp Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Rick Shiels tested them and his only complaint was that they didn't feel soft at all. Said they felt hard.

Malaka Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I do think it's interesting that Cobra is trying to make MIM a buzz word in golf. Metal injection Molding has been around for a long time, and is widely criticized in the Firearms community. People often throw out that MIM sears in colt and kimber 1911s are junk, and only forged components should be used. It's closer to casting than it is forging. That being said, the pictures of these irons look fantastic, and I'm excited to see them in person and give them a smack :) Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk Quote WITB Driver: Z785 , Hazardous 6.0 (Normal) 3 Wood: F85 @ 13.5* Hazardous Red 6.0 (Stiff) Driving Iron/Utility: ZU85 2iron @ 18* Irons: 5-PW, 588CB w/ TT S300's (Stiff) Wedge: RTX4 Satin, 50*/Mid, 56*/Mid and 60*/Low Putter: Portofino Bag: Stand Bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixyurdivot Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Is it just me or do these look strikingly similar? The MIM process is interesting.

I would love the opportunity to see some metallographic sections and just how close to forged microstructure they get. According to Cobra, their MIM process is yielding nearly the same. I suspect for all but the most discerning players, they could not tell the difference in a blind test.

ZMendle10 Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 More video reviews are popping up on YouTube and a common theme on the feel seems to be they feel soft but not as soft as something that is as purely forged as say a Taylormade P7MC.

jddaigneault Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hit them yesterday. They are very nice! I would say slightly bigger and more forgiving than a traditional blade. More 921 Tour/P770/T100 than full blade. They feel fantastic though. Good sound. Loved hitting them.

It is an honor and privilege to compete in the #CCC. 3. Theses irons look sweet. I love that they keep some familiarity with former CB irons they have made while incorporating the new MIM technology. If it feels anything like the wedges they'll be great. And if they perform any better than the Forged Tec's they'll absolutely have a top notch offering on their hands. The Forged Tec's blew away my expectations during #CCC4 with consistent distance and performance, so I'd be interested to see what these can do! jddaigneault 1 Quote Epic Max LS 10.5 - Motore X F3 6X | Speedzone 5-wood - Ventus Blue 8S | TSi3 20* Hybrid - KBS Proto 85S SMS Pro 4-PW - Steelfiber i110S | MG3 Raw Black 50.09, 54.11, 58.11 - DG TI S200 ER2B | Pro V1x | NX9 Slope | Jones Trouper R | CaddyLite EZ v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
