Cobra

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.

• The five-step forging fosters more consistency.
• Grooves are milled to precise geometry near the R&A limit.
• KBS Tour $-Taper shaft is stock offering.
• 7-iron: 34 degrees; PW: 46 degrees
