Cobra have launched the King Forged Tec Iron this year, and it's unlike anything the brand have released before. With it forged body, and multi material design, it's forgiving, feels great, and it's forged but with loads of science built in.
Vapor Fly Hybrid was completely redesigned for 2016 with input from Nike's tour pros. Let’s call it the Blue Meanie Jnr.

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.
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.
