Congrats testers!!!! Can’t wait to hear about these…

[PeterHenric]

Congrats testers. 

[sirchunksalot]

I was able to schedule my fitting for Thursday at Fairways and Greens Golf Center in Knoxville. I was pretty fortunate both that they had an opening and we had no one scheduled off at work for that day. 

They don't have the wedges and putter, but hopefully they'll have some comparable wedges I can hit. It seems like no one carriers the Snakebite wedges. 

There's an Edwin Watts nearby that I might stop at and see what they have. 

Also, to everyone on here who have shown support for us, thank you. As testers and competitors, interaction means the world to us. It's what keeps manufacturers supporting all the hard work the mods put in. 

We have an amazing group on the forum and we want to provide you all knowledge on the products we're getting to test. 

For any of you who haven't taken part in a Cobra Challenge, all I can say is buckle up...It's going to be a fun ride.

Congratulations to the testers.  Look forward to your reviews.

I've been known to back off mid swing to acknowledge a good heckle!

Really excited for this group to get their fittings done and to hear what they have to say. 

So many awesome options from Cobra and given how good some of the long game options are it is quite exciting!

. Have fun!

I know when the entry sign-up period began, it said full bag and listed the irons, wedges and woods/hybrids … but are y’all getting their 3D printed putters as well?

I think some of us are looking at them. I'm debating between the Agera, Cuda (not 3D), and Supernova.

Full bag is full bag! 14 clubs and the bag!

I'm going to be looking at the Agera and Supernova. The 3D printing is just so different than what anyone else in the market is currently doing and I've read some really positive things about the forgiveness of these putters, especially the Supernova. TXG did a review of that one and Matty was hitting great putts no matter where on the face he was striking it. I would say right now I am leaning towards the Supernova, but I will probably roll as many as the fitter will let me, or at least what he thinks will match my stroke the best. I currently play a face balanced Spider Tour Platinum.

I hope all of the testers have the same experience with Cobra clubs that I've had. Currently I've got a 3W Radspeed a 5W King F9 and a set of King Speedzone irons. The latter have probably gone through 400 rounds and look brand new and I love them. The 3W a little worse for wear but boy is it an awesome club - I can't ever imagine it leaving my bag. The 5W not so well - so it's retired. I think the difference between the 2 is the shaft. the 3W has an Evenflow R flex Riptide and the 5W a Helium light.
