I chose the Forged Tec Irons because I like the look of a "players" iron, with a little help.  These look amazing! Consistency and performance in a beautiful package!  Thanks for the opportunity to give feedback on how they perform.

I chose this set up because I'm getting older i find it harder to move through the spectrum every iron requires. I wanted the the mid weighted recoil shaft because I am currently playing it in my speedzone driver and love the way it feels with the perfect kick point. In currently playing a set of Cobra F9 blacked out irons with AMT white R300 shafts with Cobra velvet arrcos grips. my current handicap is 12.3, and you can message me anytime and I'd be willing to discuss the attributes and any pimples there might be about the new Cobra clubs, just as long as you understand I have always played Cobra's except for a short experiment with Srixon's and a have a soft spot for Cobra's.

I chose the King Forged Tec Irons:

image.png.3ece4fddae80835d8f370c6839ca4a58.png

  • These have a forged feel and a players look, but with slightly stronger lofts than what I'm playing now. I'm hoping that the few degrees of lower loft help kick of a bit of spin, gain a few yards, retain that forged feeling and be a bit more forgiving with the tech.

Currently play the previous version of the Forged Tec (5-GW) but am intrigued by these being a bit more of a players iron than the previous generation. 

I’d love to be able to compare and contrast the playability, forgiveness, accuracy, launch, spin to my current set.  Since I do have spare arccos sensors so also will be able to share that data (dispersion from each set).

I live in Yakima, WA and am 11.4 handicap.

I also have a SkyTrak at home, so am curious how much any differences detected there will translate to the course.

Of course I’d love the opportunity to share all the data and on course observations.7EC17A82-F6AE-4CCF-BFA9-D51E62377D5C.png.28b4c7d0e66c4f6fc1fa79b3345dd5d4.png

current hc is 14 and I play mizuno but feel this one length set is where I need to be as I age and simplicity of ball position and swing matter more. 
 

happy to record my day in life and journey to a more single plane swing.

I chose the Forged TecX set because I currently game the Forged Tec variable length and am looking for a little more feel and swing speed.   Feeling like the X would be a little more traditional look and feel, and could enhance my ability to work the ball.

  • Explain why you chose the model you did and what you'd hope to get out of them performance wise

I hit the previous gen Forged Tec and really liked them.  I think the X version is a little too jacked for my needs in that I’d still like some control/versatility along with the forgiveness/distance

I picked these irons because I need a little forgiveness. But, would like the feel of the forged irons.

Thanks for such a great opportunity. I have played Cobra S9's for years and recently looked at the RadSpeed's, but didn't pull the trigger. I would choose the Forged Tec X, for a little more playability for my handicap (currently 16.5). I would certainly look at the Forged Tec before finalizing, since head size and topline are important for me. I would hope to pick up some yardage and be able to work the ball a bit more than my current irons. I know the lofts have changed pretty significantly and timing is right for a new set!

1.  I chose the Forged Tec for two reasons.  First, I am currently getting lessons and my swing is improving and I feel this iron is a good mix between forgiveness and workability so it will grow well with me.  Second reason being the launch characteristics and ball flight.  I already hit the ball quite high and far so 27 degrees for a 7 iron would make the yardages difficult to contend with in the Tec X. I have in fact had a fitting with these irons before and loved them.  Averaged between 185-200 yard carry with great descent angles for stopping power on firm dry Arizona greens.

  • I feel they’re a step up in forgiveness from cavity back designs I’ve played my whole life - my handicap has gone up recently and still want something close to that players shape but with as much forgiveness as possible.

  • I chose these irons because it is more of a traditional blade and demands better ball striking. Having the workability of a forged player's iron is also a plus be cause I like to be able to shape any shot on the course. They don't always match my imagination or expectations but these irons will definitely help in workability.

    • I would LOVE to put a set of Cobra Irons in my bag and be the envy of my golfing buddies. These look AWESOME.  Lofts match up with my current set, so I do not anticipate any problem in distance changes.  Hope to drop these in this season and drop thta handicap back to where it used to be (under 5)

I went with the Forged Tec Irons for the Players Iron look, but all the hidden tech and forgiveness under the hood.  Unfortunately, we all grow older, and now I need some extra help getting the launch numbers I want however, I still want a great looking players iron that instills confidence and allows the workability I like but, has a bigger sweet spot due to all the technology.  It looks like the Forged Tec is that!

Love the look of these irons.  Went with the Tec X as I want more of a game improvement iron rather than a players iron.  Need a little more forgiveness and less workability.

Currently playing Tommy Armour 845s from 2021 and would like a upgrade in look and technology.  The new iron tech has a great look and feel improvement over these irons and I would love to step up.

Currently playing to about 10.5, with some early winter rounds in Alabama keeping the handicap up since I have not played enough this year.

I would be happy to share my thoughts and feelings about these clubs if I was lucky enough to be selected.

Thanks to Cobra and TGS for putting this give away together for the forum and community.

    • I am learning how to properly strike my iron shots instead of being an extreme sweeper, and I want to have the feel and feedback of a forged player's iron. Either model would most likely work, but I'm fitted into a player's iron right now and like the feels and the flight.

I chose the X model for the forgiveness to gain consistency which is lacking with my current Irons.   As an 17 handicap,  I really need it,  but also need to gain distance and love a Forged feel.
