Is this the best game improvement iron of 2024 let’s find out oh go that looks good these feel powerful oh no do this 28 handicaps proud oh that was awful great shots great stries drify right wow very F I can’t say that was my best display

Of golfing ability I I I think that’s probably a fair fair assessment hi guys welcome back to the channel hang on that’s my line welcome back to the channel everyone and welcome to lenda on the heand course we myself and Johnny trying to Ste my job are on the first

Hole here but we’ve got a very exciting game improvement iron in our hands today we’ve got the Cobra dark speed a little bit of a difference to AIP which we’re going to talk about in a second and go into the details via Tech data and see

If we can hold out from about 200 yards yeah maybe maybe 210 so today we’ve got a six in our hands with the Cobra dark Johnny talk to me about the looks what do you like what don’t you like so starting I do really like actually the

Slightly darker finish it’s like a kind of brushed satin and that complements this kind of chrome effect and this I don’t know how how would you describe this this away with words so I was just it’s kind of like a flowing slightly ribbed chicade is it a chicane I don’t

Know F1 fans amongst you you can figure that one out for yourselves but yeah it’s quite unique it’s different to what we’ve what else is on the market I’d say currently the moment whether I’m completely convinced by the looks I’m not 100% sure but this could again be

One that’s splits opinion it’s very futuristic so could potentially appeal to a younger audience more traditional golfers might think there’s a little bit too much going on Stolen all the words out of my mouth there Johnny I mean I don’t think it’s actually as as divided as you think I think for game

Improvement irons we’ve spoken about this in the past game improvement on aren’t going to be the best looking irons in the world so I think what some brands are shifting to especially in 2024 is to perhaps have them a little bit darker matte finish a little bit

Cleaner than perhaps 5 years ago when they were just being like red blue green black that wasn’t particularly that very nice and I think they’ve actually completed this kind of turnaround because if we looked at AET last year there’s quite a lot of colors I would

Happily say a look cheap like the irons really did look cheap let’s do a little bit of that in there I’ll be honest I think if you compare this a really good example and I know you’re going to agree with me here comparing this to the Titus

T3 50 there are still still a big way to go there a big difference price as well but I think for the younger audience perhaps that Cobra trying to mark it towards I think it’s a really cool step up to AO jet looking down it what do you

Think it’s obviously a game improvement I’ll get into the data in a second because there’s a reason why it looks the way it does but what do you think I mean yeah this is the kind of offset you’d expect from a game improvement game improvement iron I actually do

Quite like the contrast between the heel toe and the middle I think that works quite nicely but yeah I mean it’s everything you’d kind of expect from a g Improvement iron looks pretty chunky which will be nice you can seal the Loft yeah I mean it’s it’s more this and

Actually having what you just said does make a lot of sense I think the actual like the muted color palette it definitely does look more premium than older models that we’ve seen this is just a personal thing for me before we do some OnCourse testing with the mid to

High handicappers John and will let’s head over to custom golf works and look at the data Behind These Cobra dark speed irons these irons are Could Be Long Hollow body construction and extremely accurate with a larger poers shell with AI design H face delivering more efficient speed and spin is that

Really the case though let’s find out what custom golf works okay guys so here we have the Cobra dark speed irons which are aimed at game improvement they pack a hell of a punch and also offer plenty of forgiveness so to trial them we’ve got our in-house Bandit willwoods here

Um before we go into the data will just your overall feeling having hit then a couple of shots of those yeah I mean as you I mean we’re going to look at the data shortly but I didn’t feel as confident hitting those as I do with other game improvement irons okay the

Sound I mean it sound they sounded quite nice uh the overall feel in in the hand they do feel quite heavy in the head I don’t know if that’s just me yeah yeah swing weights Just a Touch heavy for your yeah I I feel like it’s just a

Little bit heavier so I mean these typically I wouldn’t usually use a set of game improvement irons uh with other sets I’ve kind of said I’d maybe go for the kind of six five4 R and i’ I’d actually the same for these they pack a

Hell of a punch and we’re going to look at the data here so my backspin was kind of a touch on the low side but actually my carry distances and total were really quite impressive the Gap might be slightly too big for me personally from

A seven to a six sign but overall for those looking to eek a bit more distance out of their game who want a little bit um extra muscle behind the ball these could potentially be a really good fit we’ll have a look at your numbers here

Now um Back Spin again a touch on the low side so I mean yeah looking at data compared to yours uh as we as we are aware I’m a very high handicap golfer um kind of just really getting into the game but sure I’m hoping these numbers

Will be a lot different come this time next year that’s my goal for 2024 but yeah I mean there’s nothing stopping you getting from there to there in a year and a year and a half no I mean give me a couple months and I’ll be there I

Absolutely yeah that’s that’s that’s my aim but but no I think it’s it’s difficult when’re looking at the numbers here and I mean as as we’ve seen in that impressive display I just didn’t really feel confident hitting them compared to other game improvement isons that I have

Used before I think to be to be fair the state your game is in right now you could probably really benefit from a custom fitting yeah so that might be the next step for you to kind of like fine-tune your game find out how we got

On with this club on the course we’re going to head over to theenda in Spain right so we’re about 190 yards out here on the first and I have got a six iron so we’re going to hit a couple of shots at the green and uh see where they land

Okay good luck mate oh go that sounded lovely that looks good is it got the legs nice good can you just knock me another ball these feel powerful shot great start right see if it’s repeatable left but touch left the strike was lovely yeah exactly little bump yeah I mean so

Far the Forgiveness on off that like wasn’t my best strike at all okay and those ones that tend to kind of Veer off left do tend to go slightly harder so the fact that that’s just kind of what 10 12 yards to the left is pretty good give a

Take that was a bit left bit thin but I mean I mean you would you take that yeah I mean from 190 yards out that’s not that’s not the end of the world by any means not at all and yeah and that was that was Alex then you’d be running for

The hills i’ imagine but that was that was not a good strike at all that was um not your not your best C it caugh it CAU it thin oh no chunky very chunky but is she’s rolling she is rolling that was horrible that was not very nice but I

Mean yeah the first two i’ would take okay the other two that’s just a bad that’s just just user eror rather than the club itself General feel of all of them even with the bad hits how did you feel I mean the one out of the middle

Felt felt lovely I mean they’re slightly slightly firmer than forged forged iron um but that that’s to be expected what what I mean the reason you’d use these clubs particular is for the performance and the Forgiveness that they offer um and as we’ve seen from those from a few

Shots there um especially distance from 190 yards out I would probably with the irons that I have in the bag I would maybe be closer to hitting a four iron or definitely a five I wouldn’t take a six but these really do hell of a punch interesting okay well over to you let’s

Give it a go then shall we nice okay nice okay well so let’s see how you get on with these bad boys okay let’s give it a go do these 28 handicappers proud I really hope to do great shots great stri drifting right little bit fadey well yeah very

Fadey swing it easy when it’s slightly Cy oh no that wasn’t I can’t say that was my best display of golfing ability I think that’s probably a fair fair assessment so overall though look and feel what they’re very Batman superheroes okay yeah I can see that

What I’m getting from them I do prefer the look of the this is obviously n but I like the driver a lot in this yeah yeah yeah in the in the dark driver very good I agree but yeah no I uh do like the look of them I just can’t get on

With them as well as as well as other game improvement ions that I’ve used before okay so obviously wasn’t my best display of ability there but 20 handicapp or isn’t guaranteed to get it on the get it on the Green from 190 yards every day so yeah okay uh right so

For the full wrap up and our final thoughts on these clubs we’re going to head over to the green so these Cobra dark speed irons are they’re quite interesting actually I agree I mean we were lucky enough to have William Ward a token High handicap

To step up to the plate and he hits shots that a high handicap would hit and this is the thing with game improvement they can’t solve pilot error but from the testing that Johnny will and I have done we noticed that there are some different results for different type of

Golfers I actually noticed as a five hand they go bloody miles like a 250 yards for a six iron but that isn’t really applicable for a game improvement iron to a sense for a four iron we would absolutely put one of these in the bag

Correct yeah I mean from 190 yards out I as I was saying I typically hit a four IR uh and one was on the green two just off to the left but pretty much pin High yeah one of them was was not a particularly good strike but it still

Managed to maintain enough speed to get to the green which is realistic basically I’m a 13 handicapper what you what you need and what you want yeah absolutely I mean it’s funny because with the different types of golfers what I’ve felt with this iron is that it’s it’s certainly ticking the box for

Distance but I think there are other game improvement l in the market that are more directed towards forgiveness now with players distance players forgiveness things like that for high handicappers yes you want distance but in my head the main thing is forgiveness you want to hit it straighter yes

Further whatever but like you just want to be able to find the Fairway I think there are other isons better for this facet of forgiveness what do you think yeah I i’ be inclined to agree with you I was actually really surprised and quite happy with the results I saw from

That but um but as you said it is a very strong um kind of bracket of ions so there’s there’s some tough competition but I I I actually think uh if especially if you’re someone who struggles with distance if that’s your main key area of concern then these

Could potentially be a really good fix for that wouldn’t have said it better myself but I welcome your guys opinions in the comments and what you think about the new Cobra dark speed ions would I upgrade of the A J no upgrade with an iron two three years ago no but you

Would see some improvements of irons let’s say six or seven years ago which is the current life cycle of irons into 2024 guys let me know your thoughts down in the comments and if you’ve enjoyed this video here at laass Enda on the hean course on the first hole leave a
