Cobra S2 Irons

COBRA S2 Iron Set 4-GW with Steel Shafts

I tried the Cobra S2 Irons at a recent demo day and was impressed by their feel (the less we say about my ball striking that day, the better).

The key feature is the polymer topline, which as you might suspect, reduces the weight there, and repositions it where it’ll do some good—at the bottom. That multi-material topline, combined with a lower urethane sole is apparently what accounts for the nice feel I experienced when chunking shots off a frozen astroturf mat.

The also look very nice from address, with a hidden back flange, shorter blade length and a topline that doesn’t look like a game-improvement iron.

Cobra says that other features include a mid-width sole with a trailing edge groove that’s supposed to offer the reduce fat shots, while still keeping the leading edge low. Distance is maximized throughout the set through the combined tricks of stronger lofts and slightly longer shafts. But that’s been a trend with manufacturers for years. Hmm. If this keeps up, we’ll eventually have seven irons the length of drivers.
