Best irons for high handicappers 2018
6. Best irons for high handicappers – Cobra King F8
In a nutshell: To the untrained eye the tweaks to the club heads compared to F7 may seem subtle but there’s plenty going on.
We’ve got an all-new thinner forged face which should add a bit more ball speed over a wider area.
There’s new Carbon inserts that are strategically-positioned and new Carbon medallions behind the face dampen vibrations for improved sound and feel throughout the set.
We’ve still got the progressive cavity system – which Cobra call Tecflo – where we see a full hollow design on the 4-7 irons, a traditional cavity-back design on 8-PW.
The grooves are different too with reduced spin on the longer irons for more distance and more spin on the shorter irons for stopping power.
Two bonuses here are they fact the F8 is available in One Length and comes with the built-in Cobra Connect system powered by Arccos to track your stats.
You won’t find a better value-for-money package than this. And the irons are superb -very consistent with a lovely sound and feel.
SRP: Variable/One Length 7-piece set: £649/£749 (steel/graphite)
