    I've been playing the Cobra one-length irons for a while now. I will never go back to variable-length irons. The "shorter" clubs (8, 9, Pw, Gw, Sw) are easier to hit than ever before.

      ​@Ricky_rickito i have the LTDx by cobra and they are all 7i length. I love them, like OP, and will likely never go back. My game improved tremendously from day 1 of hitting them. One set up(minor adjustments over time) makes it super easy for beginning golfers. Started with them shooting mid-90s, im now trying to break 80. I shoot 82/83 regularly and 90% of that issue is driver based. I highly recommend people try them

      "Spin gapping" is irrelevant especially when you're playing same length irons. Just because you label it an 8 instead of a 6 doesn't change what the ball is doing. If your 150 yard club launches at 22 and spins 9000 rpms, calling it a 9 iron instead of a gap wedge literally does nothing, the ball flies the exact same but if you label it a 9 iron it's magically spinning the right amount but if you label it gw it's now spinning too much? Yeah that's just nonsense.

    When you have the speed of players like DeChamBeau, the reason they deloft them is to set proper gapping distances and ball flight height. If they didn't the ball would ballon way up in the air and spin too much. I would be willing to bet that your peck height is a good bit lower than his with the same club. Therefore, less stopping power. His stock Lob 60* wedge is 110-yards, and he works off 15-yard gaps, that's how the lofts turn out the way they are. All that matters regardless of loft is does the PW launch and descent at proper PW angle, does the 8I launch and descent at proper 8I angle etc. BTW in the late 80's a stock PW was 50* just for one type of reference.

    This is very interesting.
    My 48-degree wedge with 75R graphite shaft goes 5 or 6 yards shorter than my 48-degree with a 128R steel shaft. Flight with the graphite is higher, so I am guessing that one spins more. No numbers to back this up at this point, just a hunch.

    Loft and swing speed ratio must be golden. Low swings speeds require higher lofts, and higher swing speeds require lower lofts. They also require stiffer shafts to reign in the draw. The same principles used with fitting for a driver should be no different to how you fit an iron. Swing speed and shot shape only. And Bryson’s clubs are designed for super fast and high drawers of the ball only. His whole swing is built on trying to hit the fattest duck hooks possible, then reigning them in with super stiff shafts, the open convex face and baseball bat grips.

      Hi Paul, great to hear from a fan. Appreciate you commenting 👍 I don’t think so, every one of the irons is the exact same dead weight, swing weight, length and lie angle. Every head in the set is 273 grams, shaft 130, and grips 123 grams 🤯 Swingweight comes in around C2! I just wonder with the additional speed and me being a pretty high dynamic loft player, whether I am just sliding underneath the lob wedge like someone pulling the dinner cloth from under the plates if you know what I mean?!

    • @l33tLX
      @l33tLX 9 днів тому +2

      As stated the clubs are all intended to be the same exact weight for all the components. 2 things not talked about often are that a lob wedge has a taller face and therefore more cross sectional area, meaning more aero resistance when swung. The other aspect is that a 5 iron is supposed to go a lot farther than a wedge, and most golfers will tend to swing a bit harder subconsciously

      The thing is if you watch him play with regular clubs he still hits them a similar distance to what he hits his actual clubs. The main difference is he can't really control the shape or spin with standard clubs because his swing speed is so high. I find it silly people talk so negatively about his clubs when his swing speed is averaging 10 miles per hour more than the other guys on tour.

    How long before bulge and roll are incorporated into mainstream irons? I'm not a golfing engineer but I can't see a downside (price?). If one were to play a set of hybrids down to, say, a 9 iron or PW, they'd all have bulge and roll so I can't see a rule infraction simply because they're irons and not metal woods. And of course if Bryon is using them, obviously they're conforming.

    • @JoeFerguson-cd4bg
      @JoeFerguson-cd4bg 8 днів тому

      Kind of correct. The heads are lighter than 'standard' in the shorter irons, but heavier than standard in the longer irons. The less mass = less distance thing can be true for some (all other things being equal) but in other cases some people swing the lighter heads faster and as such experience more ball speed. It's very player dependent in my experience

The lob wedge distance you are getting is because there is no help because you aren't swinging fast enough. I watched it all now and the 5 iron is extreme, a not so good strike sees you get your normal 5 iron distance, get it better and 223 mad.

      @@nevvanclarke9225 Well yes of course it’s better to get fitted outside, but unless you go to a really expensive place, you will be hitting range balls which aren’t accurate.
      The best is to get fitted with a camera based device like GC Quad. The most accurate, data won’t change according to wind and stuff like that. Club data is measured and not calculated.
      So the only reason it’s still going to be better outside is that you will really have the club feeling with real turf interaction

      @Simon19SF we shall politely agree to disagree on that
      I'm in Australia and we have a balance
      I see 15 handicappers hitting 200 with 6 irons....is laughable considerongbtheunomly drive it 250 to 260
      The numbers don't add up
      The whole thing is an absolute farce
