Why We Like It
To improve on feel, Cobra had its carbon-steel heads undergo a five-step forging process (in which the force is increased with each hit). This led to a clubhead with better grain alignment that achieves the type of soft, crisp feel better players seek. Although clearly a club designed for single-digit players, the weight placed in the toe area provides the kind of stability that allows slight mis-hits to still have distance to carry that front bunker instead of landing in it.

Reviews
It's hard to get the right topline. They went flat across, and it works. If I swing harder, it goes higher and farther without ballooning. Great distance control.
Jason, 47, Handicap: 0Thin topline and compact face look good. Softer feel and a very defined sweet spot. Ball jumps off the face on center strikes.
Wayne, 59, Handicap: 6Easy to hit. The face feels big but lends itself to help you find the sweet spot more easily. Very forgiving. Nice clean back. A simple and efficient design.
Chris, 43, Handicap: 9Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play
Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.
