SPOTTED – 2011 COBRA S3 & S3 PRO Irons!

Cobra – Top MGS Rankings 5 Years Straight

How long have you been a reader of MyGolfSpy?  Well if the answer was more then a few months then you’re probably aware that MGS is quite fond of Cobra’s golf equipment.  Why is MGS so fond of Cobra?  Well every single year for the past 5 years I have tested their drivers & irons and they have ranked in my Top 3 for best gear every one of those years.  This is a 5-Year stretch we’re talking about…not just 1-2 years which in it self would be impressive but 5 years in a row.  No other golf company can claim that in my eyes…and I mean none of them.

Cobra – No Longer Anyone’s Baby Brother

But yet people still don’t flock to them when in the market for a driver or set of players clubs.  Not many golfers think of Cobra when they think “Players Club”.  Why is that?  Well one reason is because…they were always Titleist’s little baby brother…the one no one took serious in the local backyard brawl or game of tackle football.  Well…that is until that little brother grew up and some of those older friends realized he could kick their asses now.  And that’s just what I hope happens for Cobra now that they’re on their own.  The guys over at Cobra/Titleist which is now Cobra/Puma deserve it. They deserve it for many reasons that I won’t go into…would most likely bore the hell out of you.  But one important reason is because they are and have been what I feel is the most underrated golf company in the industry when it comes to not only making great equipment but having some of the best employees and management in the biz and I respect that.  Hell anyone should be able to respect that.  From top to bottom they have a class-act group of guys.

MGS Readers Shocked By Results

We got a lot of emails this year from shocked readers when the Cobra S2 driver finished in 1st Place in our “Clash Of The Adjustable Drivers!” – LONGEST DRIVER AWARDS and then even more when their Cobra S2 and Cobra ZL finished both 1st and 2nd in our “Clash Of The Adjustable Drivers!” – USER’S CHOICE AWARDS!.  Might have shocked the readers but I could almost have predicted those results.  We have another in depth review coming of “The Best Forged Cavity Iron in 2010” coming soon as well and I won’t be surprised if they perform near the top in that review as well.

2011 Cobra S3 & S3 Pro Irons

A couple of my favorite modern forged irons are the original Cobra PRO MB’s and Pro CB’s…in my mind they are true classics that will stand the test of time performance wise.  So I was happy to see that they didn’t stray too far with the new 2011 Cobra Pro line-up of irons.  Now the new standard 2011 Cobra S3 game-improvement irons might not be my cup of tea in regards to looks but their aren’t many game improvement sticks out there nowadays that are…the new GI irons of today are just a little much for me…but I understand in this business that you have to have a line that appeals to more then 1 group of golfers if you’re going to stay afloat.

“Players Clubs” aren’t where most these companies make their big bread.  The GI market seems to be drawn to crazy decals and color schemes…the crazier they are the more eyes that latch on to them when they are walking through their local proshop…it’s a growing trend. And one I don’t see fading for years to come.  And honestly no matter how it looks if we test it and it out performs what I am currently playing then it goes in the bag…simple as that.  So we won’t knock it until we try it.

We gave you a sneak-peek at Cobra’s New S3 Driver back in August…and now we wanted to show you the spy pics we have of their new irons for 2011.  So let us and the guys over at Cobra now what you think…
