Cobra King F6 Irons: Exclusive First Hit
We were lucky enough to sample all of the new Cobra Golf clubs for next year, and we’re pretty sure a lot of you will be playing Cobra’s F6 Irons next season.

Cobra have the King Ltd range for players who want the best performance with the most technology. The F6 range covers the golfer that wants adjustability in their equipment. But what if you just want to hit it high and straight? That's where the MAX clubs come in.
Lynx are doing things a little bit differently to most golf brands. Family run, this UK manufacturer is producing high quality equipment at lower prices than most of their competitors.
It's release weekend for the new TaylorMade PSI irons. Designed for mid to low handicaps, the PSI offer forged short irons for feel, tungsten weights for forgiveness, and speed pockets and face slot for distance.
Mizuno’s JPX EZ is the easiest to hit iron in their range. Designed to hit the ball a mile, the JPX EZ is designed for distance but not at the expense of feel.
The most forgiving forged iron that Mizuno have ever produced, the JPX EZ Forged is a true distance iron. Yet with it's forged head, it should feel incredibly soft at impact.
For 2016 Mizuno have simplified things. They set out to design a very EZ (say it in an American accent) to hit driver designed for forgiveness and distance. Rather than hundreds of adjustable options they've given you a handful to make things obvious.
Callaway’s Apex irons were one of the big success stories over the last couple of seasons. We all want more help, but we don’t want to use chopper big bats. The Apex felt great, and the ball flew miles, without looking like a garden rake. The Apex CF16 is their update.
TItleist are on a roll this year. The Pro V1 is on fire. The 915 Woods have been a massive success. And Titleist irons win a tour event seemingly every other week. The one area people don’t to think of Titleist though is forgiving mid handicap irons. Yet with the AP1, they’ve got a set of irons that combines offers shed loads of help, without looking like a chopper big bat.
Titleist are known as the serious brand for serious golfers. And golfers don't get any more serious than if they are using a set of muscle back blades. In an ideal world I'd be good enough to play the Titleist 716 MB. Seriously just look at it. It's stunning. But reality hits for most of us, as soon as we miss the tiny sweetspot.
The Titleist 716 CB was the biggest surprise in the new Titleist range. While the MB is still a classic MB, and not professing to be anything but, the new CB has really been amped up.
If the MB is the Titleist iron we want to play while the the forgiving AP1 is the club that most of us should be playing, then the AP2 is the club that most likely we will be playing. It’s a pocket rocket of a golf club, with loads of technology packed in to a classic looking iron.
