STREET PRICE $700 (eight clubs)

Cobra combines 4- and 5-utility woods, 6- and 7-hybrids (left) and wide-soled short irons (8-iron through sand wedge) to create optimal turf interaction and forgiveness on shots into greens. The lightweight Aldila Proto-HL shaft is designed to help launch the ball high and increase clubhead speed. The clubs can be matched to a Cobra Speed LD-M women's driver and fairway woods to complete the set.

With 4- to 5-degree loft gaps between clubs, this set features a 15-degree, 460cc titanium driver, two low-profile fairway woods, one hybrid, six extreme cavity-back middle and short irons (left) and a mallet putter with a soft polymer face. The result is consistent, noticeable yardage differences between clubs. The woods and irons come in regular or petite lengths to accommodate golfers of different sizes.

Each club is designed to launch the ball high, even at slower clubhead speeds.
