shafts breaking on Cobra single length irons

[timk]

I have a set of Cobra single length irons and have had 3 shafts break - 5, 6, and 9 iron over a 2 year period.   None of the breaks occurred due to hardpan, or chunked hits.  I'm 65 years old, have played for 30 years and have had only one club break before this set.  Has anyone else had a similar issue.  They have all broken right at the top of the hosel.

This sounds like a batch issue and not an overall product or Cobra issue.

Same set, same break, same location makes it seem like something in the manufacturing process (material mixture, the machine, etc) went wrong for your particular batch and the other shafts that were part of that batch. And given that it was the same location for your three shafts, I'd put my money on it was something with the machine that day. Unfortunately, it happens all the time in manufacturing for all industries when you get a bad batch of the underlying materials, when someone doesn't calibrate the machines right, when something gets knocked loose, etc. Just sucks when you get the bad draw. Sorry to hear mate.

I’d reach out to cobra directly. Hopefully their customer service can get you squared away

Did you buy the clubs new? If yes, did the clubs come directly from Cobra or did some other shop build them?

My husband has had 3 irons break (5, 6 & 7) over the past year. The clubs are 2 years old and he has the Cobra speedzone with the KVS steel shaft. Same thing, he has only had 1 club break ever and it was 20 years old. These are breaking with normal swings/ball contact. Bad quality I think.
