The new irons from COBRA Golf in the RADSPEED family for 2021 feature breakthrough technology with use of 3D printing as seen in their recent KING SuperSport-35 Putter developed in partnership with HP Parmatech. The 3D printed nylon medallion at the back of the club head allows for a new manufacturing process resulting in weight saving to enhance performance and along with Radial Weighting provides optimised speed and performance. The Radial weighting, a key technology in the RADSPEED family, allows for adjustments to weight placement to maximise the performance. This is further optimised through the use of weighting system in the toe with weights ranging from 2-16 grams.
The RADSPEED irons feature a Carbon fibre topline and PWRSHELL face all designed to maximise distance and to be easier to hit. The irons feature U grooves in the long irons and V grooves in the short irons (8-SW) all focused on optimising launch, distance and accuracy. Additionally, the irons feature larger grips as standard, KBS shafts and COBRA CONNECT.

I have the one length version. These clubs are monstrous and they produce the best feeling Miss hits of any irons I have ever tried. it's hard to explain but it's like there's built-in airbags for jarring shots
Well done Ryan, Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So I’m don’t take a divot, sweep it off the turf. Play a lot of firm conditions. Would I have issues with the soles on these bouncing into the ball? Thanks
I don't know, but during a rainy day the amount of potentially dirt-accumulating recesses within the medallion and around the screw may partially counteract the grams of weight saved in the first place.
Doubt it will have much effect and difficult for the muck to get in in any real size to cause an issue and no different to other clubs and cavities etc We will check it out though.
You are likely right. Looks like some work to clean out the recesses in the superior part of the medallion with a cotton swab though.
@@golfshake Doesn’t matter how small the dirt. This design will be an absolute magnet for any dirt making cleaning them nigh on impossible. Any dirt / moisture accumulates over time can’t be good for the overall integrity of the club.
Also those screws. Another potential area to encourage premature rusting. They aren’t the cleanest of designs. Also I think the adjustment idea is a little over engineered too. Just confuses the fitting. Of the big box fitters I’ve been to I doubt they will have the required knowledge to get the right weight for you (with all due respect). Your talking very marginal gains here that can’t possibly be identified through a relatively small amount of balls hit off an indoor mat. Choosing the right head, shaft, lie, length, grip etc is difficult enough as it is without yet another element thrown in!
I like Cobra I really do. I think they are pushing the boundaries for innovation, but I think their R&D department had a bumper delivery of red bull on the day they came up with these and got a little over excited. I wanted to like these. I was hanging on for their release to potentially buy a set. Im sure some people will not care about the negatives I’ve highlighted but there will some people where these will be a deal breaker. I’m sure they will perform but overall I’m left a little disappointed.
Hi Ryan, which shafts did you test in these? The KBS Tour 90 in Regular or Stiff? Thanks.
Great review you did thanks I’m going to test these , I play Maverick and have a hard time stopping them they seem to be to low all the time. Good review
Glad you enjoyed. Let us know how you get on when you try out. Just posted a tech talk video here you might like on the COBRA RADSPEED

They look so rad
🐍 💯
If I am fitted for Speedzone Irons would these be similar or would you suggest a whole new fitting?
They will be similar but it’s always best to check as they may perform slightly differently 👍
Worth testing out and you will see but then worth the custom fit to see how they stack up from the data/results
In your opinion, do you think these or the cobra forged tec irons would be better at holding greens? Thanks and great review!
Glad you enjoyed the review. Will really come down to the actual golfer so the suggestion would be to try and test out if you can.
Thanks for the reply, I currently swing i210s with project x 6.5 shafts. I hit my irons much too high and if it’s windy it’s a real struggle. Our iron swing speeds are similar so that’s why I was wondering how they did for you. Thanks for the reply!
Ryan was looking at the wilson d9, ping g425 but these cobra look more compact and neater. I'm leaning towards these now as i play the kbs 90 shaft and lamkin grips. Have you any stand out performer from these three sets
Looking to do a round up very soon!
@@golfshake look forward to that and any idea if you will be allowed to open for fittings in the near future
Good stuff mate👍👍
Glad you enjoyed
are these suitable for a high handicap golfer..great review also
Yes but always worth testing out and getting custom fit if you can
We've just done a tech talk interview answering this exact question

Great video... ive never hit a golf ball in my life but this is the year I'm 37 and just retired so plan on getting a set and getting on the courses this year...(if boris allows me) what clubs would you advise for a brand new golfer i was told to go for the speedzone one length but these are the newer ones so I'm stuck haha (money isn't an issue I just want something decent to get me started)
Awesome news on taking up golf. Don't worry on the set too much once you start out, just get playing and practice and then once you feel more set-up with your game look at getting a custom fit. This should help find the clubs for your game and potentially either variable or one length will suit you
Any chance of a review of the one length range of Radspeed irons ?
Difficult to do really given that different golfers will benefit from either variable or onelength but we will look at seeing what we can do to highlight the benefits of onelength which are very good
@@golfshake Ah ha! I’m about to treat myself to a new set of irons. And herein lies the crux of my dilemma.... To One-Length or not to One-Length. I’ve tried them out on a mat and at the range.. maybe hit only 40 balls and was totally underwhelmed. Yet a couple of my pals who use One-Length irons swear by them as the best thing since sliced bread albeit with the caveat that you need to allow six months to get used to them.
I’m asking myself whether the six months of agony while getting used to one length irons is worth it. Or simply just buy a set of XXIO irons and know they’re as good as it gets.

@@golfshake Thanks, I watched it and went straight out and got fitted for 5-GW single length Radspeed. 6 weeks wait they say.
Can you compare to GBB B21 irons?
We are looking at this for 2021.
These in one length versus the speed zone in one length. Decisions, decisions...
Have fun testing out!
Are these as forgiving as the speed zones ?
Hi guys, just posted a tech talk interview you might like
th-cam.com/video/wX8R0bu5YvM/w-d-xo.html
Do they have the same loft as the cobra F8?
There are slight differences we believe from the variable and one length irons so supsect that there will be marginal differences from the f8
When they released ?
Retail Jan 2021, full info here:

Aren’t U-grooves nonconforming?
The old style ones are but if they are under a certain threshold of width and depth they are ok 👍
Not for these but you do reference the old style which were
I’ll pass
No worries
@@golfshake just got some PxG 2ng Gen and I’m happiest so far
@@jadamane Nice clubs ! 👍
