Popular Post Bucky CC Posted April 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2021 First off let me start this story by saying I'm an idiot. Now that that's off my chest let's begin. Back in 2018 I was part of the original MGS SuperSpeed review. At the completion of the protocols I saw my baseline speed jump from about 104mph to a peak of 111mph. This was measured on the slightly juiced SwingSpeed Radar that was usually 3-5mph faster that better tracking devices. I admittedly slacked off with the program shortly after posting my final review but picked it back up each winter once the snow started falling here in Wisconsin. This particular winter I really focused on a Fit for Golf workout program along with the SS sticks. Shout out to Mike Carroll at Fit for Golf for putting together a great program. After working all winter I decided to test my swing in late March to see if new gains were made. I don't have any type of fancy setup but I do have a Skytrak in my garage with a portable heater and previously mentioned SwingSpeed radar. After getting warmed up I let loose to see exactly how fast I could go. I was picturing something like this happening on the course this summer: I started off in the same 108-110mph range that I hit with my 2018 peak. Figuring that I had nothing to lose hitting into a net I went all out. Who cares if it's 50 yards offline if I'm bombing them! Slowly my numbers started to creep up. First 112, then 114 for a few swings. One hellacious swing actually hit 116mph on the Skytrak (120 on the SwingSpeed radar). I was admittedly starting to get tired by this point but wanted to keep going to see if I could top 116mph. I should have known better. Around swing # 50 this happened: I'm extremely glad no one else was home because there was a string of swear words that was definitely not fit for children much less adults. I made decent contact with the ball but on my ridiculous follow through I hit the ceiling rafter with the club head. I should have immediately ordered this shirt: After swallowing my pride I sent a picture of the club to the head pro and my local public course. After he stopped laughing at me (jerk) he said he would contact Cobra and see what he could do. Knowing that it was 100% my fault I expected Cobra to get a good laugh at the situation and then I end up ordering a new club from them at full price. One week goes by with no word. Two weeks go by with no word. And today I receive this email: Cobra is awesome. I pull an all time idiot mistake by breaking my F9 driver in the garage and Cobra replaces the head with a brand new RAD Speed for free. They even sent the Peacoat and Red version that I preferred. I was already a Cobra fan for life after competing in the Cobra Connect Challenge but this puts them above and beyond anything. Thank you Cobra. TL;DR: Cobra is an amazing company, I'm an idiot, my local head pro is great, and MGS is the best forum on the planet. If you are in the market for a new club do yourself a favor and test out a Cobra. I'm not guaranteeing it will be the best fit for you, but you can be sure you'll get absolute top notch service from them if anything should ever go wrong.

Middler Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Tells me Cobra is charging too much for their clubs if they’re willing to comp a customer who’s clearly 100% at fault.

To me it’s that Cobra understands that customer service is the most effective form of marketing Plus over the years I have seen numerous other OEMs offer similar replacements RickyBobby_PR, Bucky CC, cksurfdude and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iirc it’s still under 2 years since the f9 was released which is the timeframe most companies have warranty for Bucky CC, cksurfdude and tony@CIC 3 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InParWeTrust Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I’m kind of kicking myself for not getting Cobra irons for my last set. At my fitting I narrowed it down to Callaway and Cobra but ended up with the Callaways because they were a little cheaper. Might be time for some new irons... tony@CIC and myherobobhope 2 Quote Driver: RBZ Stage 2 - Stiff 4W: RZR X - Stiff Hybrid: Burner Superlaunch 5 Iron Rescue Irons: RZR X - Uniflex Steel Wedges: 54 degree SM4 Vokey, 60 degree MD3 S grind Putter: 35" Versa #6 Blade All right handed.

The new rad hybrids look great too... probably want to make sure all your long clubs are the same... also, the copper forged tech mim irons look pretty sweet... Ok, at this point you may as well just have the full bag, so grab some new wedges. seriously, though, it’s nice to see cobra take care of its customers... I hope the rad is good for you! I love my ltd pro, but it got sidelined when I scratched the crown (I had also recently won a new driver)... my next set of irons will likely be cobra.
