Similar many golfers, my first introduction to the game came from my dad when I was a child. To this day, we however share a common interest in the game, and he definitely enjoys having some insight into my "golf reviews." I'm sharing this brief insight with you for a specific reason.

First Impressions

I was outside of my house taking pictures for some reviews when my dad walked up and picked up one of the Cobra F-Max irons. His first words out of his mouth were, "man, these seem really light!" No hello, hello, how are y'all, simply "man, these seem really light!" The thing is, he was exactly right. Coming in with swingweights of C9 through D0 in the wedges, the F-Max is incredibly calorie-free.

The F-Max club itself is every bit of a Super Game Comeback (SGI) atomic number 26. Thick soles and toplines, meaning starting time, and large footprint make for a lot of social club to hit the ball. For the audition the F-Max irons are geared for, this should exist a welcomed sight behind the brawl from any lie.

How Does it Feel?

Did I mention these are lite? Every bit stated, the F-Max irons are light and you feel it as soon every bit y'all took the club away. Cobra makes a point to clarify that these irons are made for a moderate swing speed. With a faster swing speed, the F-Max could feel also wild. In the easily of the right swing, the F-Max feels very smoothen and easy to swing. Expert shots experience very lively off the face with a smooth feel. It was pointed out to me by a tester that clear mishits even had a lively feel. For a player looking for an iron that really make a tough game easier, the F-Max has a nice forgiving and active feel.

How Does it Sound?

The Cobra F-Max iron is designed purely for forgiveness and ease of launch for moderate swing speeds. Irons in this grouping oft accept very thin faces with dampening materials in the crenel to control the sound and feel. The F-Max is no exception. As long as you hit anywhere on the grooves, the F-Max produces a "pop" sound. If you miss the grooves, it becomes more of dead slap. As the sole cuts through the turf, information technology creates a "punch" sound. I personally feel the sound is the F-Max's one weakness, but I believe it to exist a very fair trade off given its strengths.

On-Grade Performance

I couldn't really do a full playing review with the Cobra F-Max irons because, in all honesty, it just wouldn't be a off-white review. I'yard non who these irons are geared toward. In order to go a amend opinion, I sought out some trustworthy players I thought might be a good fit and asked what they thought of them.

At that place were really ii consistent pieces of feedback that came back. The improve players commented that the F-Max was very like shooting fish in a barrel to hit directly and high. They fifty-fifty found they could float nice like shooting fish in a barrel draws with them (draws probable attributed to the start). The weaker players said they found it easier to launch the ball regardless of how bad of a swing they made. I figured this out to mean, "even the fat shots got going and I really didn't hit the ball thin." Watching these players hitting these irons, I noticed less shots going right (piece).

It'due south important to notation that you take to seriously be mindful of swing speed. Beingness the curious reviewer that I am, I obviously had to hit some shots with these too. I'll exist honest, I was a hot mess. If you're a faster swinging, more ambitious thespian, you'll to desire to be fitted into a more accommodating iron.

Concluding Thoughts

Prissy and easy swings are exactly what the Cobra F-Max irons promote. Promoting a overnice and like shooting fish in a barrel swing seems perfect for the outset role player or the older histrion looking to go a lilliputian help from their equipment. More importantly, Cobra has created an extremely like shooting fish in a barrel iron to hit straight and go airborne. Sometimes straight and in the air is a better fit than fast and far.
