Cobra T-Rail irons

Just seen this name pop up for next years release, anyone got more info?

F9 replacement? Supposed to come in both men and womens as standard specs

Interesting, maybe they are trying to make something that acts like baffler rails for irons? Or maybe Tungsten weighting in the shape of a T?

Cobra had a big box set named Baffler XL last year, sounds like this is the replacement

Baffler XL irons were pretty popular around 2015 or so. Friend of mine still bags them and refuses to give them up. If Cobra's releasing a set that's like those, and updated with better looks and performance, I'd have to take a seriously hard look at them.

Maybe a F-max replacement? Supposed to be a combo set 4-pw at $900 as standard

To be released Nov. 01.

These should be great. Like the Clevelands but with better face and sole tech.

Saw a demo 7 iron today at PGA superstore. They pulled it out of the warehouse after an older gentlemen asked if they had it yet. I hit it after he did. Not for me, but they look techy and get the ball in the air. For the right person i could see these improving scores from a more traditional set. not an f9 replacement though. this is super super improvement.

These are intriguing coming from Cleveland Altitude irons.

From the top they remind me of the Adams Idea Tech irons

These are more hybrid looking with a hollow body construction.

On looks alone, they are the best I've seen in the category: understated cosmetics, minimal tech branding. If I were in the market for that type of set, they would be at the top of my list.

The guy is a bit goofy but gives decent reviews.

Big difference from the Baffler XL, which I posted about long before there were pics of these new irons available.

IMO, the new Cleveland Launchers look far, far better than these. I'll reserve any real judgement until I see them in hand, however.

I'm curious about the blade length of the T Rails. To me the Clevelands always seemed a bit short heel/toe for an SGI iron.

Best club I've hit in this hybrid-iron set category is the Tour Edge Hot Launch 2; will be interested to test the Cobras to see how they stack up. Variable face thickness in this type of hollow, thin-faced iron is essential IMO, so I'm eager to see how well Cobra's E9 face tech works.

They need offer a OL set in these!!

I find him entertaining. He is a bit of fresh air to the "lets get stuck in" crowd.

Agreed. These don't look bad at all. They're Cobra's and they're going to work, just will they be better than what's already out there? That remains to be seen.

I didn't mind the Launchers, I found them to be a big improvement over the Altitudes in ballflight and forgiveness. Still, these are Cobras, which is almost a guarantee for "high and straight" when it comes to their SGI clubs.

Guess I nailed this one.

Some interesting info and video by TGW on the t-rails. I can't post the link (newbie) but I sure someone else can:-)

Are these available in one length?

I do not believe these are available in one length.

Has anybody hit these in anything other than the stock graphite shaft (e.g. The stock FST steel shaft)? I'm interested to see if the difference in shaft changes the sound which is a little "tingy" with the graphite.

The Cleveland Launcher HB Turbo sounded and felt way more solid....

I haven’t hit the Trails with the FST shaft but have hit it with a few other steel shafts like the $Taper Lite, , Modus 105, TT XP95, AMT White and a few others I can’t Remember.

I’m not huge on sound and feel though but nothing felt out of place with the TRail.

I game 588 Altitudes which are very tinky sounding. The Cobras were more muted than my irons.

They should be though!! You listening @Cobra Golf??> @scooterhd2 said:

Had the T-Rails in hand tonight at GG. Nice looking and VERY light. I like the feel of the Midsize REL grip. Was surprised to see the wedge and 9 iron having a larger sole than the 8-5 irons. Having a standard 4 hybrid is a nice touch. I am tempted. Any one currently gaming these?

I suppose these hybrid-iron type clubs fall into the super-game-improvement (SGI) category. Normally, I can’t stand to look at SGI irons, but these ... with PVD black shafts ... and I’m clenching my fist and biting a knuckle.
