Consider the following features when deciding which Cobra irons are most suitable for your game.
Cobra irons – cavity backs
Cavity back Cobra irons have a hollow in the back of the club head. This creates more mass around the perimeter of the club head. Cobra irons with cavity backs are therefore less prone to twisting when you miss the sweet spot. This makes Cobra irons with cavity backs more forgiving. Many tour professionals now use cavity back irons. Cobra irons with deeper cavities are more forgiving but offer less feel to your shots.
Cobra irons – blades
Bladed Cobra irons have a thinner club head and no cavity in the back. Cobra blades provide lots of feel but are less forgiving to hit. Blades are best suited for players with low handicaps.
Cobra irons – shafts
Cobra irons with graphite shafts are lighter and more suitable for golfers with slower swings or higher handicaps. Golfers with fast swings usually find they are more accurate with steel shafted Cobra irons. Most golf professionals with Cobra irons play steel shafts. New Cobra irons with graphite shafts typically cost euros 100-200 more than a set with steel shafts.
Cobra irons - flex
Cobra irons with regular flex shafts will be suitable for most golfers. If you have a low handicap or fast swing you may prefer Cobra irons with a stiffer shaft. If you have a higher handicap or slower swing you may prefer Cobra irons with a more flexible shaft.
Cobra irons – lie Cobra
irons with a standard lie are suitable for most golfers. If you are a tall golfer or have a more upright swing you may prefer Cobra irons with a lie that is 1-2 degrees upright. If you are a short golfer or have a flatter swing you may prefer Cobra irons with a lie that is 1-2 degrees flatter.
