Cobra King Pro Irons....What ya got???


socied

Recommended Posts

I wanted to start this thread to see who is still playing these and if yall are still loving them?!?!? Also, what shafts are you playing? And show me your paint fill!!!

 

I just picked up a set and promptly removed the paintfill. I was going to use some photo blue paint to match some of my Nike gear, but I LOVE the murdered out look.

 

I have tour issue x100s coming in this week so hopefully they will fit nicely with these. I wanted to jump on KBS or Nippons but ive played x100s my whole golf life. I love them.

I so badly want some, but just not in the budget with a wedding less than 2 mos away.

 

Although if I could get a great price would be tough to pass up.

 

Dude I was in the exact same boat. Oct 15 is mine. How I wiggled into these was something along the lines of "oh yeah sure babe, feel free to get 6-12 dresses for that week. I am sure you will wear all of them. While you're at it. Throw in some shoes to match. Since I will probably just wear clothes that I already have, its cool if I grab a club or two this week?" - Instant yes.

I grabbed a set of "mint" from global golf last month and ended up paying about $650 after coupon for the 3-PW. They came new in the factory box with shrink wrap on the grips and heads. Playing the stock C Tapers but got rid of the stock grips in favor of some Iomics.

 

Socied, what did you use to remove the paintfill? I have tried citristrip and acetone but still have some orange residue that doesn't want to go away.

Nice. I will have to see if that works for me. And mine is also Oct 15th.

I used acetone, tooth brush, and an exacto knife. I will say, it was not easy. only did 5. Took probably 2 hours.I was really careful, I didnt want to remove the black

Have 2 sets of these in black and they do feel amazing and are not as hard to hit as some may think looking at them. Because im a club ho im not using either set right now. Lol using and playing very well with my PXG's. Definitely keeping my Cobra set with black Fujikura pro graphite shafts but really have no use for the other set with c-tapers. Life of a club ho i guess. Lol

Just went to Austads to see them in person. They are even better looking in person than I thought. Going to have to go back and hit them. Not sure I am good enough to hit them, but dang can't get them out of my head.

Like a few others have said, they are not hard to hit at all, especially the MBs. I am about a 6 hdcp right now and im not a great ball striker and I can play these just fine. I feel like these are very similar to my old VPC and honestly probably easier to hit. The MBs are for sure easier to hit compared to my full set of Vapor pros.

Finally was able to get these out on the course. Man they are great. They are a little longer than my Tourstages but I think that has to do with the lofts, which i need to get check anyway. I was hitting my 7 iron about 190 which is about 10 yards further than normal. I was hitting my 6 iron about 195ish and my 8 iron about 170ish, which are both a little longer than normal. The 7 iron is way off. I think the loft is jacked.

 

Anyway, great clubs in all lies. FW bunker, rough, FW, etc. They are soft and pure. It's only been one round, but I think these will stay in the bag for at least a month until I can make the call if they will beat out my tourstages.

The no orange paintfill look is nice. Tempting. Any specific brand you would recommend? Do you just dip a toothbrush in it and "brush" away the paint? I've never done anything like this unless you count using a dremel brush and sandpaper to remove the black PVD from a set of Vapor PC (which turned out great). I'd definitely consider removing the orange but not at the risk of doing any cosmetic damage to the black finish. Worst case I'll do nothing; the King orange is far less bothersome than Nike PVD, IMO.

I just sprayed them and let sit for 10-15 minutes, then took my club brush to get the corners.

 

 

Ive enjoyed them but since I found and love the km-350 putter, it's time to say goodbye to them and hello to some 57s. Though I might hold on to the 2i.

I've had the Black CB's since February and they still look as good as the day I bought them. This finish is the real deal. I have black PVD wedges and those have obviously worn down and started wearing right away. If I cleaned these up, I don't think you could tell if these were almost a year old or a week old. The finish is amazing.

 

Edit: I played college golf and had practice either on the course or range everyday plus whatever meets we played and these still look brand new. Whatever this finish is, they should keep it to themselves and let the other companies continue to use PVD.
