These two key terms have probably popped up somewhere along your golf journey. Understand them both, and you’ll better understand how your equipment can help your game.
Cleveland Golf has long geared its club designs towards golfers seeking to minimise their bad shots rather than optimise their good ones. The company continues down that path with the introduction of its game-improvement ZipCore XL irons and, for those needing even more help, its Halo XL Full-Face irons.
Cobra seeks to build on its Aerojet irons with its follow-up, the Darkspeed. More than just a modest tweak, the Darkspeed makes meaningful moves forward with a new hollow-body construction that is filled with a lightweight foam.
Smash factor is one of those terms like all-you-can-eat buffet. It sounds like it means something. And it does. But just not what you think, and not nearly as important as it’s slightly ostentatious name might lead you to believe. This is particularly true when it comes to understanding which irons are the best for your game.
Cobra debuts the latest version of its Air-X line of clubs, including drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons designed with lighter weights to appeal to more moderate swing speeds.
The technology behind the Prime model includes lightweight, counter-balanced shafts and a clubhead design intended to maximise rebound on shots hit low on the face.
Four new Srixon Z-series irons aim to give different classes of players help with the things that matter to them most while still providing a fairly classic shape that all demand.
