This combo is very pleasing to my eyes. Oh and the feel/sound is really, really good. Like flush an iron and think 'Wow!' Yes, it's that good.

Nassau Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 5 hours ago, txgolfjunkie said: I played early this morning in Galveston, TX and the mosquitos really killed the mood. We were in such a hurry to get through the round I didn't get many good shots of the maiden voyage with my new Cobra sticks. However, one mosquito did land on my ball just before I hit and this was the end result: I'll clean up some video and add some shots/round summary with the arccos. The wedges around the greens were the biggest surprise of the day. Just amazing feel and excellent spin control, even in the wet conditions. Nice looking clubs.

txgolfjunkie Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Here's my maiden voyage with the Cobra clubs: Driver: Still need to work on this. Strikes are consistently high on the face that produce a pull/draw but strikes in center of face seen to spin pretty high and don't travel as far. I flipped the weights and saw a better ball flight but not nearly the distance I'm getting with my gamer. I'll need to find some time to work with this. Tour 3 Wood: 255y off the deck into a par 5 and 270y average off the tee. Just low bullets off the tee. Great stuff. Tour 5 wood: I don't need to use a tee with this club ever again. I was hitting some high fades with it and then just hit it off the deck in a short par 4 and it flew the way I want it to. Love how easy this club is to hit. Irons: most of my missed greens (hit 13/18) were due to my expectation of the wind moving the ball only to see it fly straight. I struck these beautifully today. Wedges: +1.6 SG in my short game. Enough said. My spin control with the wedges was the most surprising. I play ping glides due to the wet spin control but these were excellent in wet dew conditions today. The versatile sole did really well with the tightly mowed paspalum. null, MattF, GolfSpy_SHARK and 5 others 8 Quote Cobra Connect 5 Competitor - Team Chad King Radspeed 10.5* w/ Hzrdus RDX Blue 60 6.5 tipped 1/2" - Peacoat/Red King Radspeed Big Tour 3 Wood w/ Hzrdus RDX Blue 70 6.5 Tipped 1/2" King Radspeed Tour 5 Wood w/ Motore X F1 70 X Flex King Utility 4 21* w/ Tensei Pro White 100 X Flex King Tour MIM Copper Irons 5-G w/ AMT White X100 Onyx King MIM Black Wedges 55* & 60* w/ AMT White X100 Onyx Spider SR Pro V1x Left Dash Lefty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about a 5 swing weight discrepancy. I'll add some weight, but I'll have to do it strategically. Since the stock setup is 12g in the front and 2g in the back, I'll get a 16g weight for the front and an 8g weight for the back. That would at least get me to a heavier SW.

Same here, well 18 front and 6 back, which was the stock "tour length" weight configuration. I played a lot of last season with them swapped too. I think it really adds some stability to the head, plus with the shorter shaft I can feel it much better than with the lighter weights.

Everything is so immediate today which of course has it's advantages as well as disadvantages. No, as a "boomer" I knew those days as well and agree that there was an element of excitement with the wait on things. Wanted to research a question, dig out Encyclopedia Britannica. Whether we like to admit it or not, the pace of things today, across so many aspects of life, has changed our expectations. I had a hard time with the pace of life here in rural Montana having spent 30 years working in aerospace and in a 100 mile/min environment... it's like downshifting to granny gear . Frustrating at times but also refreshing at times. My first custom order wasn't all that excessively long considering the unprecedented supply line shortages but just built poorly and incorrectly... twice . The FJ ECD was 6-8 weeks ARO and it looks like they'll be close. Just want them in the bag and yardages dialed in before the winter season migration. I'm sure Cobra will have the rest of these testers gear to them as soon as they possibly can and all of this will become part of the "remember when" discussions in years to follow. chisag, MattF, gavinski91 and 2 others 5 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Currently Under Product Test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txgolfjunkie Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Here's my personal belief why the copper MIMs looks fantastic... It's the first week of April, Jim Nantz is doing his thing on the CBS broadcast...it's the freaking Masters. Take away the azaleas and the patrons, and what do you have? The grass is a pure deep green, the sand is bright white, the pine straw is a mix of rust and copper in color. The contrast between the three colors just looks fantastic on TV. Green. White. Copper. It's not a color combination you think would look good, but it's just pleasing the eye. And when you realize where you've seen that color combination before, Jim Nantz starts whispering in your head...'hello friends and welcome to Augusta National...' and then you just relax and hit one amazing iron shot after another. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Popular Post Mtbryant01 Posted July 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2021 I had a notification of someone coming to the door today while I was playing a round. Shouldn’t have checked, as it was a cobra box! Hard to focus on those last 5 holes. Anyways, here are the beautys that were waiting for me inside the box! Already had a tee time for tomorrow morning. Excited to test them out. Love the Copper face/black KBS $ shaft look from first glance. More pictures to come later.
