Excellent Clubs, Durable Finish Review by MadHat

Rating

I bought my set, 5-GW, shortly after they became available in early 2018. I played with them all spring, summer, and early fall--about eighty rounds in total (I'm a teacher and had all summer off, playing almost every day). I have to say that they are simply fantastic. I bought them because their feel, sound, and performance are top-notch--and when coupled with their looks, I was sold. The only question I had was the durability of the finish. I'm happy to say now that, after all of those rounds, the finish on mine is just as beautiful as when they were unboxed. Very durable. I don't take enormous divots on my strikes, but I would think that after that many rounds the sole would show some slight wear or lose color. But they simply haven't; they have kept their sleek look through the many rounds I've played.
Very Happy! (Posted on 11/9/2018)

Simply perfect Review by Steve in Canada

Rating

The thing I love about Cobra is the amount of R&D and engineering that goes into their products!!! The performance of these clubs coupled with the look and superior black finish in a forged offering is tops! The Cobra connect is simply z huge bonus! I tried all of the the other big name players distance irons and these were truly the longest, most forgiving of them all! Everything from the stunning look to the incredible feel of these clubs is Perfect! Can't wait to have a full season with these!!! Excellent job Cobra, Don't change a thing!!! (Posted on 11/9/2018)

Great performance - dissapointing finish Review by Shaun

Rating

I have had these for a couple of months now and just finished my third with them. I love the performance of these clubs. They are extremely forgiving for the size of the head and long. The flight is powerful and the stopping power is amazing considering the strong lofts. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them on performance but the finish has not been great in my experience so far and a head has come unglued. If those things don’t bother you don’t worry about reading on.

I have been to the range a lot since buying them but due to the finish being damages on delivery for two clubs and the. Two becoming damaged after a couple of range sessions and one round I was without a full set for a week or two. Customer service was great and the clubs were fixed but then the PW head came unglued and after my round today there is an impact mark on the face of the 5 iron. I don’t expect them to stay as new but after 3 round and going to the range 1 or 2 times a week for just under 2 months I would expect them to last better. I am sure they would repair it if I send the club back again but to say this is the toughest finish they have ever produced is not the experience I have had.

love the new irons Review by Guy

Rating

Got a set of these (5 to GW) about two weeks ago. Have played several rounds thus far and am more than pleased with the Forged TEC irons black edition. Took a round or two to feel comfortable with them (as i had use game improvement irons for the last 10 years). i have found that they launch very high and long. I just played my eight round with them and have been scoring my best rounds of the year. Phenomenal product. (Posted on 10/9/2018)

Solid! Review by J Gallant

Rating

These are simply amazing! Such great feel off the club face. After playing a forged blade for 15+ years I was looking for something a little more forgiving but still with a good look and play-ability. I took my time and compared a range of clubs, less expensive and more expensive - It came down to the Taylormade 790 but, The Forged Black with the black AMT shafts looked so menacing and felt so good I had to go with them. I've had them on the course and on the range and there is no issue with the finish at all. The cobra connect arccos is simply amazing so far. I haven't gotten in the 5 rounds to access the Smart Caddie, but I can already see where my strengths and weakness are consistently.
One thing I had to get use to was the stronger lofts - most club on the market now are much stronger lofted than 10 - 15 years ago. The 5 iron is the same loft as my previous nike blade 3 iron. For me this eliminates an additional iron above it. Even from an average lie in the rough, 200 yrd carry out of the 5 iron is no big deal. I've also gone to the cobra 5-6 wood which fills the 215-230 gap and a 3-4 wood which covers 220-260.
As for the wedges, having the gap wedge @ 50 degrees eliminated my need for a 52 degree and a 56, so I've gone to a cobra black 54 and 60 for around the greens and in the sand.
I can't say enough about the feel. I've played some of what I thought were the best wedges but for me, these just feel and play better.

Pros -
Look great.
Feel great.
Go like stink.
Can stick the ball from any distance.
Arccos 360

Cons -
Very strong lofted - adjustments needed.
Not AS workable as a blade.
Lamkin grips only option if you want the arccos included.

$$$$$-Love 'em!! Review by Skhacker

Tried the 8 iron on a whim in the store sim and was pleasantly surprised, so went on to hit the whole set and was sold. Smooth, solid, clean lines and lots of confidence at address. Love the blacked out look as well. (Posted on 9/2/2018)

Club Fitting Gone Astray Review by MDB02

I had a club fitting for Titleist AP2 and AP3 and my professional asked me to try the Cobra's. Well, was I surprised. Feels like butter, goes like jam. Very long and forgiving. (Posted on 7/28/2018)

New level of golf Review by TJD

Rating

Awesome feel, great forgiveness, incredible distance and they look super slick in black. The acros caddie is so useful and well worth the price of these clubs alone.

These clubs can be used by any player from intermediate to a professional.
Compared to the Titleist AP3, they blow them away.

Great clubs Review by Brent

Been playing a month with a custom fit set of the Forged TEC. Added 1 club to my distance. I am a year older so it is obviously not me improving, but having them fit properly has me looking forward to playing everytime! As a former PGA member and Ferris State PGM alum, I can say this is a great product! (Posted on 6/20/2018)

More Distance Review by Richard

Rating

I am a 19 handicap and where my game was hurting was missed short percentage. I was above 50% almost every round. The local area courses recently had a demo day, so I wanted to try the Callaway Rogue Irons and Cobra Forged Tec. They both hit equally as well with myself picking up about 10-15 more yards with the irons. I did the demo day for 2 days in a row to make sure I was just not hitting well the first day. But back on the 2nd day in a different location I had same results. I choose the Cobra's over the Callaway's for a couple reasons since they both hit almost identical. I really liked the black look of the Cobra's, and not being a coating versus imbedded with the color that is a big plus. The other reason was, I was already a Arccos user so having the Arccos in the Cobra Connect grips was a big seller for me.
As far as on course play, I have played my last 2 rounds exceptionally well reaching greens and with the Cobra driver, fairway and hybrid gaining the distance I was lacking. I am very pleased Cobra fan now. (Posted on 5/13/2018)

The Dark Side Review by EddieBigEddie

I just played my set for the first time today...and all I can say is WOW. These clubs are beautiful, soft and just look SEXY in all black. I ordered with the Black KBS $ Taper and they look great together. Gave me a great penetrating ball flight and was point and shoot. Can’t wait to get more time with them. Welcome to the Dark Side!

Just picked up my set yesterday and they are sexy looking and play even better than they look. A full club longer than my jpx 900 forged. (Posted on 5/3/2018)

Simply AMAZING Review by Andrew

Rating

I am simply in love with these amazing irons!
my set is a 4-gw with true temper AMT S300. they are so easy to hit that sometimes it feels unbelievable. the touch is super soft and the overall feeling is that you can hit it very gently, and the ball will fly with a penetrating flight at the desired distance.
and the looks are amazing. this black diamonized finish seems to be very durable and no sign of wear and tear on the face after 1 month of usage.
good job Cobra! (Posted on 5/3/2018)
