I'm home from the fitting and it had mixed results. The fitter didn't have any X Flex shafts in driver or 3W. I get it, the course is in an older neighborhood and there were a lot of folks interested in chipping irons and 7 woods (not a slight to @jlukes but he would have to fight Barbara and Randall to demo the one 7 wood head). He had a wide range of senior and regular flex and only a handful of stiff flex shafts. Oh well, it was still fun talking to the fitter. 

Some takeaways:

the HZRDUS Smoke Blue is legit with the Radspeed head. 

The Snake Bite wedges will appeal to those who enjoy grooves across the entire face (Edel, TM Big Toe, Callaway PM Grind).

The MIM irons...they feel pretty darn good. Pair that with a NIppon 120 shaft and off you go. 

The fairway woods are stupid good off the turf. 

The matte finish on the driver and tour 5 wood looks fantastic. 

I'll post my specs later. I need to do a little more research.

I’m sorry, did someone say Modus 120? 😍

also have to agree on the fairways. Those rails make a huge difference for me hitting off the turf!

What do you think you might change? Also why the different shaft in the 5w? (Just curious)

3 wood for me will be mostly a tee club, but I need the extra launch with the 5w from the fairways.

And I'm also considering the Recoil 480 and the 780 SmacWrap for the hybrid, and might go with the 60g Rogue in the 3 wood.

Honestly I've been to some Cobra demo days where they didn't have a lot of righty options to hit especially in one length. I hope it works out and you get to hit just about everything they offer.

None of the stock and upgrade shaft options I saw were amongst those from my fitting finalist list.  I realize that the OEM's offer/buy certain shafts in bulk and can package these as discounted options, but I wish more of them would also offer their factory build with many, many more options.

Here's my final decision and now I just need to let it ride and stop over-thinking things. 

image.png.981cc07ff1b79b7a2acd0939a34a9a3f.png

Side note, I got bumped from the Radspeed irons to the Copper MIMs. Shout out to @Golfspy_CG2 for making that happen. 

Driver:

image_50756609.JPG.e25de1063623d8a845c2ea6d5b32ca2f.JPG

I really liked the feel of the HZRDUS RDX Blue in the Radspeed over any other combo. What's crazy is that I only hit the Motore X F1 at big box stores with a 9* head. It didn't feel great at all. I put in the RDX Blue and it was night and day different. I also hit the ball so much straighter with the weight up front. I flipped it and started hitting hard draws. It was truly odd. 

The XB lauched a little too high and really ballooned on me. The range was into a slight breeze (8mph) and that was all i needed to see out of that club. 

Fairway/Utilities

I'm going on a limb with the 3W, 5W and 4 utility setup. I actually thought the Motore X F1 felt decent in the 3W but it felt like it was more about control than distance. I'll need a little of both with my 3W since it will be used for position on Par 4s and tree-lined courses. The 5W will be used to attack greens so the Motore X F1 will be great to have a little tighter dispersion. 

Irons:

image_50436353.JPG.90157ea7c5b0e6d73cafee56900c2f2d.JPG

This was the first time for me to ever see a MIM iron in lefty. At address, they really do remind me of the old AP2s. Very classic topline and a little offset. They really felt great, even with the range balls. I used to game Mizuno SELs and now I game the TaylorMade P770s that are foam filled. The MIMs don't feel as good as the Mizzys but they are pretty darn close...definitely a solid feel to them on strike. They do feel much better than my current gamers. I went with the copper MIMs and black PVD AMT X100 shafts because those will look fantastic in my humble opinion. Nippon 120s felt really good but I didn't see any performance difference than the X100. 

Wedges:

They had a 56* in the chrome MIM and in the Snakebite. The MIM is a classic looking wedge and it suits my eye. I didn't hit any wedges as my time was limited and I couldn't sneak over to the short game area with them. 

Overall

I'm excited to see the finished product and see the performance these sticks bring to my game. It was a lot of fun seeing the Radspeed driver come alive after a few demo session in big box stores that really left me discouraged. 

Note: There wasn't a trackman or launch monitor at this demo so I had to go off of feel and sight. That's not something I enjoy doing as I like to have data back-up my decisions. Oh well, I'll make it happen.  

They had irons for days for the right-handed crew. 5, 7 and 9 iron available in all lines. Lucky b@stards.

That’s awesome on the MIMs! #TeamChad might have 2 sets of Copper MIMs in play! Hoping they suit my eye early next week. 

I’ve heard the big tour 3 wood is hottttt off the face. Obviously you liked it, did you hit it off the ground and tee or just tee since you said you’ll mainly use it for positioning/tighter fairways.

So is that all the bags locked and loaded? 
 

Did anyone end up with something different than they were expecting going into the fitting? I know we had a number of 7 woods and big fairways and different wedge combinations.

Did anyone end up with something different than they were expecting going into the fitting? I know we had a number of 7 woods and big fairways and different wedge combinations. 

I got my fitting early next week. I couldn’t line one up this week with a Cobra rep and didn’t want to just hit a driver and 7 iron at the PGA Superstore. Once I’m in, we will be ready to submit.

That’s awesome on the MIMs! #TeamChad might have 2 sets of Copper MIMs in play! Hoping they suit my eye early next week. 

I’ve heard the big tour 3 wood is hottttt off the face. Obviously you liked it, did you hit it off the ground and tee or just tee since you said you’ll mainly use it for positioning/tighter fairways.
 

I didn't get to hit the big tour 3W, just the standard 3W. The rails on the cobra fairway woods are the best in the biz. I gamed the F7+ for years simply for the occasional fairway/first cut 3W into a par 5. I didn't even hit the standard 3W off the tee because I was so impressed off the turf...and that was off of common bermuda grass where the ball sits down ever so slightly. My rationale: if the standard 3W is this good, the Big Tour HAS to be even better.

Here's my final decision and now I just need to let it ride and stop over-thinking things. 

image.png.981cc07ff1b79b7a2acd0939a34a9a3f.png

Side note, I got bumped from the Radspeed irons to the Copper MIMs. Shout out to @Golfspy_CG2 for making that happen. 

Driver:

I really liked the feel of the HZRDUS RDX Blue in the Radspeed over any other combo. What's crazy is that I only hit the Motore X F1 at big box stores with a 9* head. It didn't feel great at all. I put in the RDX Blue and it was night and day different. I also hit the ball so much straighter with the weight up front. I flipped it and started hitting hard draws. It was truly odd. 

The XB lauched a little too high and really ballooned on me. The range was into a slight breeze (8mph) and that was all i needed to see out of that club. 

Fairway/Utilities

I'm going on a limb with the 3W, 5W and 4 utility setup. I actually thought the Motore X F1 felt decent in the 3W but it felt like it was more about control than distance. I'll need a little of both with my 3W since it will be used for position on Par 4s and tree-lined courses. The 5W will be used to attack greens so the Motore X F1 will be great to have a little tighter dispersion. 

Irons:

This was the first time for me to ever see a MIM iron in lefty. At address, they really do remind me of the old AP2s. Very classic topline and a little offset. They really felt great, even with the range balls. I used to game Mizuno SELs and now I game the TaylorMade P770s that are foam filled. The MIMs don't feel as good as the Mizzys but they are pretty darn close...definitely a solid feel to them on strike. They do feel much better than my current gamers. I went with the copper MIMs and black PVD AMT X100 shafts because those will look fantastic in my humble opinion. Nippon 120s felt really good but I didn't see any performance difference than the X100. 

Wedges:

They had a 56* in the chrome MIM and in the Snakebite. The MIM is a classic looking wedge and it suits my eye. I didn't hit any wedges as my time was limited and I couldn't sneak over to the short game area with them. 

Overall

I'm excited to see the finished product and see the performance these sticks bring to my game. It was a lot of fun seeing the Radspeed driver come alive after a few demo session in big box stores that really left me discouraged. 

Note: There wasn't a trackman or launch monitor at this demo so I had to go off of feel and sight. That's not something I enjoy doing as I like to have data back-up my decisions. Oh well, I'll make it happen.  

They had irons for days for the right-handed crew. 5, 7 and 9 iron available in all lines. Lucky b@stards.

What's crazy is that the fitter only had a chrome MIM but those aren't available to lefties, just the copper. However the copper heads and black shafts will be legit. Look good, play good.

The copper are basically a dream club for me. I'll be in your corner for this as well! Can't wait to see some of those photos of them when they arrive.

I have seen the Dufner testing this on the green and I love the techy look of the putters Cobra is putting out. Would love to give one a roll and see it up close once its out.

Looks like more 3-D printed tech. The Supersport came in at $399, so I'm guessing this will be $450 at least.
