Cobra 2024

[geauxWRX]

did cobra adjust their pricing for Ventus and Graphite design shafts? On release day i thought i saw ventus was a $250 up charge and GD was around $ 225. This morning I see ventus for $350 and GD for $325.

YES

Upcharge shafts look to be much less from major retailers

Just checked and shows $350 for Ventus line and $325 for GD line.  You are correct that they were lower prices on release day.

That sure is one way to attract early adopters.

Various 3d party retailers showing $210 for ventus and $195 for GD. Unless there is some mistake and haven't yet updated their systems.

High handicappers don't compress the ball and spin it , no way they can hold a green or get these airborne enough.

Nah they will be fine.  The club is designed for that very use case and will launch the ball high enough to have a descent angle that will hold the green.  Heck the Titleist T400's 7 iron is 26° and definitely not aimed at low handicappers.

So, it's a 5i...with a 7 on it.

On the woods?  Where are the marks?  I am typically apprehensive with the matte finishes because I feel like they show more wear than gloss.  A small mark can really stand out.

Anyone know/confirm if the Forged Tec are on the schedule for an update this year?

I’m not sure how closely you follow golf tech, but the whole idea of these GI irons is to move the CG as low as possible to put the ball in the air while using the stronger lofts to push the ball down range. It’s no secret, and it works. Sure, you aren’t getting 7,000 spin on a 7 iron, but the majority of golfers are just fine with their 7 iron spin being around 5,000.

There was only a 1 year gap between the last two models wasn't there? So could be another one this year based on that

The Forged Tec and X came out in 2022, I know as I got them when they just came out hence I am hoping this will be the year of the refresh confirmed...

I’ve seen these, but I haven’t seen where anyone has complained about the finish wearing.

Finish on these irons reminds me a little of the original RBZ irons...maybe not exactly the same but similar.
