The Cobra AMP Irons are designed for the golfer looking for improved distance and accuracy. Cobra's Advanced Material Placement (AMP) technology features a progressive face and cavity design and a new v-skid sole. The multi-alloy design positions the weight strategically throughout the set to provide explosive long irons and consistent, accurate short irons. The 3 to 7 irons feature a 2-piece alloy steel face plasma that is welded to the steel body to create a thinner face.
The v-skid sole promotes accuracy using a sole design that narrows in the toe and heel. This drastically reduces the amount of turf drag. The front of the sole has a higher bounce providing forgiving sole interaction, the lower middle section helps keep the leading edge at the correct height and the rear relief has the weight benefits of a wider sole but with cleaner turk contact.
Cobra's successful E9 Face Technology remains in the AMP irons. This technology optimises distance, forgiveness and feel thanks to a progressive face and design. The AMP set also benefits from a full cavity TPU layer provides exceptional feel and helps to dampen vibrations.
The Cobra AMP irons are available in either an iron set or a iron-hybrid combo set. The set can be paired with either an AMP by Aldila graphite shaft or a True Temper Dynalite 90 Steel shaft. All irons feature the Lamkin N-DUR 3GEN grip.

The Cobra AMP Irons continue the theme of the oversized S3 irons which were one of our favourites. The styling is a little more aggressive and the finish has changed from black PVD to matt chrome which we think will appeal to more players.
Underneath the sharper angles of the AMP irons is a similar concept of a large face with weight in the heel and toe to create a high level of forgiveness. The weight is a little lower and further back than the S3s which makes the long irons in particular very easy to hit. The new V-skid sole does a good job of getting through the turf and will be ideal for most parkland layouts.
Despite the oversize heads, the top line looks great and just the right balance of playability without being too chunky. The white grooves on the face help you line up more easily than the orange line at the bottom of the face and the orange cavity on the back of the head cannot be seen at address on even the longer irons. The short irons again look compact and forgiving and the sound and feel throughout the set was very good.
Each club comes with a lovely feeling orange Lamkin N-DUR 3GEN grip on a True Temper Dynalite 90 Steel shaft that reduces weight for a little more clubhead speed. Thankfully the number is now back on the sole of the club too which is a welcome change.
The S3 irons were a little bit of a hidden gem and we think the Cobra AMP irons are just as good and ideal for a mid-handicapper or high single figure player looking for a quality iron with a bit of forgiveness.
