What Golfalot Says


The 2008 versions of the Cobra FP iron are an improvement on the old model. Like the other cavity backed irons in the Cobra range, the forgiveness was excellent and it will be down to personal preference whether you prefer these or the S9 irons as there is not much between them. We would go for the latter, but these are great for mid to high handicappers.

The Cobra 08 FP irons are so easy to hit and give you a fair bit of forgiveness, but the head shape is just too big. It will suit the higher handicapper and will give them a whole lot of confidence over the ball, but these were just a bit too clunky for me.
