... Awesome review! Your struggles with the scoring irons seems about what I would expect . I have never really understood the thinking behind the SL concept with the scoring irons. I certainly get the SL 8-fw woods but I have never heard anyone from a single digit to 25 index say their short irons are just so difficult to hit and they wish the had longer shafts. 🙄  DeChambeau hitting a 205yd 8 iron does not translate well for average golfers without tour level distance control. I would think worst case design scenario might be 1/4" shorter shafts from 8-sw and best case would be standard length sw-8 iron then SL for 7 - fw woods. 

That is a very good point with distance control. I had a lot of difficulty hitting half shots ect with any scoring clubs because come to think of it, I don’t hit too many touch shots with a 6 iron (how long the OL was compared to my current irons). I agree with the shorter clubs as you get to scoring clubs, might have to Frankenstein this set to try and accomplish this.

Bummer the OL's did not fair well for you but really applaud you for trying them out.  Perhaps with continued use, you would eventually adjust your swing mechanics to make them work as well or better?  I suspect this is what concerns so many (self included) who get the physics/principle but are just concerned they will involve too big an adjustment and/or take too long doing so?

I agree, if I had more time to devote to practicing instead of playing I’m sure I could get adjusted. The biggest concern is touch shots and having mentality you’re swinging a 6 iron to go x distance. I would get too steep with wedges but maybe with more time I could shallow out my swing and get better results.

I do really wish I would have gotten my choice of iron shafts (Modus 105x). Would have definitely a more “enjoyable” review for sure. But I had to play with the cards I was dealt and did my best to ignore my hatred of the shafts and what they did to my swing and focus on the club heads and how they performed 

Pretty hard to really know how they would have performed with a 5th best option shaft 😐.  I say this having now gone through several fittings and seeing first hand how much shafts matter. Glad you included your thoughts on the MIM fab technology and the question pertaining to just how close to forged they sound and feel.  I hit them at my True Spec fitting and liked their sound and feel but they just did not perform well for me.

Hey guys, I’m working on my review and hoping to at least getting some content out there to y’all soon! The weather hasn’t cooperated very well lately as you’ll see below.

I have unfortunately still not received my 3 and 5 wood. Hopefully they come in before the cold weather hits here and makes it tough to get more rounds in. 

Alabama has been hit with a couple crazy rain storms this year and this last week might have been the worst for my area. My home course got hit pretty bad with flooding issues. See pictures below. It’s going to be closed for at least 3 weeks. I’ll still get some rounds in from other courses around the area.

Good luck and three weeks seems almost too fast for that green to get back in order. Lot of hard work for that grounds crew ahead. I think they will earn some time off after that.

Yeah that one hole will be closed for a while unfortunately. The other 17 will be playable again in 3-4 weeks (maybe more if the weather doesn’t cooperate).

Went out for a muddy 9 holes this afternoon to capture the last of the video content I need to finalize my review. Came inches from holing out an 80-yard wedge shot for eagle (would've been my first), had to settle for a tap-in birdie. The Snakebite wedges combined with the KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 shaft are sooooo good on touch shots.

I haven't gotten a chance to play this, only 18 I've played was in Hawaii, and wasn't willing to try this challenge from the tips at Kapalua. 😅

But I might get a chance tomorrow.

Been thinking about putting Cobra in Bag in 3W, 5W & even considering a 7 W as have moved to Sr. shaft. "Getting Up There"!! & want to either get Swing Speed up to about 93-95mph or accept??

Also; considering 52o Wedge as have 56o & 60o R Steel shafts they have just about Timed Out!!

Latest Trackman testing 10/15/ showed Swing Speed has dipped to 88.7mph from 92/93mph & used R Graphite Shafts; Not Happy with losing Speed & getting Old. Or whichever came 1st. 

Need some advice & help here Sports Fans!! 

Thanks.

Yep; played Hockey!! & Means no longer going to get "The Call"!! 😘

I think the Radspeed fairway woods are exceptional. I would still have the 3 wood if it didn’t go too far to not have a practical place in the bag. As for cobra in general they produce high quality gear at a more affordable cost than the big 3.

I find that the Radspeed 5w launches incredibly easy with the Motore X F3 shaft - my swing speed is higher than yours, but I feel like with that club in particular I benefit from easing back on my swing a bit and just instead focus on being smooth. Incredibly forgiving too - the 3 impacts in this video were all over the face, but still ended up in the same area.
