Why We Like It
Sometimes multiple materials are used to mask deficiencies in one area, but not so here. By mixing materials, Cobra brings the kind of raw power irons in this category need. The neat trick, however, is doing so in a pleasing shape that doesn’t scrimp on feel thanks to a light, soft foam inside the 1025 carbon-steel clubhead. The muscle-back shape belies the hollow construction and the thin face delivers significant ball speed with a higher launch. A 20-gram tungsten toe weight is positioned so that the center of gravity is more in line with the center of the face to deliver a sweet feel on center strikes.
Characteristics
- Five-step forging produces a lower sound.
- Lightweight foam allows saved weight to be moved low to increase launch.
- A slim topline and reduced offset deliver a player-ish look at address.
- 7-iron: 29.5 degrees; PW: 44 degrees

Reviews
The ball rockets off the face with a high launch. Expect to gain distance with these clubs. Has a decreased loft in the face but still comes off super high.
BK, 41, Handicap: 1Has a dynamic rip through impact. Aggressive profile but still has loads of stability. Shots stay on line. Produces an effortless, drawing ball flight.
Gary, 36, Handicap: 13Looks good at address. Slightly firmer feel at impact with a satisfying click. Good turf interaction without digging. Center-face contact gets good carry and speed. Mis-hits hold the line.
Wayne, 59, Handicap: 6Why 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.
