New Cobra CBs/MBs Coming Spring 2018

Met with my cobra rep today. He confirmed that the new cobra CB and MB irons will not be released until spring of 2018. I know many threads have been out discussing Cobra for 2018, however, I had not heard this information. If it is already out there, then I apologize. The sales rep had no pictures and no other information regarding these irons.

How are Cobra sales, I never see any bags with them at courses. Initially I thought young golfers might gravitate toward them because of Ricky. Not sure if lack of wins or what affects the sales volume. Many Used to like their woods during Achusnet ownership (as did the pinnacle long drive team). Their irons look good but never see anyone playing them.

Yeah, Cobra sucks. Nobody is playing them. ?

If you’re not playing cobra, your loss.

I think they're the best irons I've played. And I've played them all... I've played Cobra now for probably 8-10 years now since the King Cobra mb's back when Geoff Ogilvy was playing them and now still play the S3's super sweet irons. Play the FlyZ+ driver and played Bio Cell+ before that, very underrated clubs.

If you’re not playing cobra, your loss.

Always thought Cobra had the best looking blades on the market. Just something about blade length, offset, thin sole, leading edge etc. Wouldn’t change a thing about those irons.

Cobra irons and Tour Trusty wedges are fabulous!!! Their former AMP Forged, Fly-Z+, and now KING Forged Tec irons have been, and are, extremely overlooked. They're wonderful irons with a beautiful tour shape, thin top lines, and yet are roughly 1/8" larger than standard forged cavity backs.

A LOT of people on this site could benefit from such an iron. Way too many small muscle back users here!!

... I have played the Amp Forged and Fly Z+ and am currently playing the Forged Tours. They look smaller at address than they really are which for most of us is the best of both worlds. You get a nice compact MB look at address but not too compact and you get added forgiveness for your mishits and your off days.

I’ll be following this thread closely as i missed out on the original king cb/mb. Tungsten in the toe and black finish. Lets see how they improve on that

Cobra makes a huge mistake by releasing their irons too late in the year. Everybody has come out with their stuff, it's been ordered, then Cobra brings up the rear. It's a baffling strategy.

I'm looking forward to more news about these. In the meantime, I'll be trying to fill out my combo set with MB's (4-6)

?... Why spend money in the winter on sticks you can't use very much? Added, the late summer release is already old stuff. I would not be a fan of buying late summer/fall and then barely getting to use them. As it is for me, fall is time for bargains and winter experiments..

Since amp cell pro forged (the partial blade/cavity) have seen nothing but nice irons I'd be happy to game anyday. Can also find a leftover set a a very fair price...

I went to GG today and they didn't even have any Cobra woods :(

The problem is that their late release winds up going well into golf season. Usually late April/early May. If avid players don't have clubs by The Masters, it's too late.

I don't really care that DSG and GG have stopped carrying them. I don't honestly see me ever going there to buy clubs again. Will stick with my local fitter who can properly fit on the right launch monitor. And they carry everything. Maybe if I see a club I like on the used rack or a shaft I could get cheap from a used club, buying clothes, and tees, etc. will be about it.

I have the amp cell pro cb/mb. Will never buy another set of irons. I never buy new, no point for me. Will most likely buy my next set when the kings satin go on sale. Have never hit an mb iron with as much forgiveness on thin shots which is my miss. Great irons!!

Love Cobra. I think more people over look them simply because they don't market very heavily, and their prices are lower, so some people may perceive that as not being as good performance wise compared to say Callaway, Titleist, etc.

I have always been impressed by Cobra's irons and woods. They perform very solidly overall. I still am surprised by how much advertising, marketing, and what pro players get paid to play, influences our decisions in what clubs we choose.

Can't wait to see the new irons! They always have great looking and feeling MB/CB. My first real set of irons were the King Cobra II (1997). Damn I'm old!

Didn’t cobra just release new blades?

I am a bona fide Cobra nut. I love my Fly-Z Irons and Hybrids and F6 Driver.

My issue now is that around me, the only real Golf Retailer is Golf Galaxy. They told me they are not going to carry the Cobra line anymore, so I literally have nowhere to try or purchase Cobra clubs unless I get a custom fitting in Philadelphia and order them there. Sucks.

Weren't the King MB two seasons ago?

I believe you are correct. Late 2015 or very early 2016. Shiels did his review of them in Oct. 2015

King MB has run out at the manufacturer (at least Lefty’s as i’ve been told).

Depending how I get on with my new Forged TEC's, I could see myself with a full cobra bag at some point. Although, I do really love my hybrids and the XR16 is stupid easy to hit. Maybe if I found some good deals late next year on the "F8" stuff, I'd bag it.

Cobra's forgings are as soft as anything I have ever played. I will give these new blades a look for sure next year.

Golf Galaxy and Dicks have stopped carrying Cobra clubs.

Dick's, in particular, used to give them the worst retail space...shoved in a corner, against a wall...then they wonder why they have trouble selling. Marketing and product placement matter.

where are some pics, jeez
