A TXG video just in time if my lunch break at work! Thanks a ton for the midday entertainment!
I was about to say lunch break? It's still morning! Till I looked at the time and saw it was already noon and I just haven't done anything today.
Same!
When the intro music bumps my girlfriend says “not again”.
🤣🤣🤣
But what does your wife say?😉
I would recommend Headphones or a new Girlfriend👍😎
Yes, more driving iron testing please! Include the wilson staff model in there if available.
"These are fairly easy to hit...I think Matty's proven that."
Come on Ian. Matty the Robot can hit ANYTHING. Just because he can hit it doesn't mean it's easy.
Cobra is very underrated, keep reviewing their stuff! Would love to see a retro review of the Forged Black CB/MB, mostly the CB’s
I just got 2 driving irons (3 and a 4) they work so well for me on my course where I have 3 par 3's all around 190 - 200 yards which have open front greens to run the ball on. I find the driving irons to be so much easier to hit straight, the ball flight gets less affected by the wind and seems to have a more piercing, slightly flatter flight. I also have a hybrid and a fairway wood as those are much easier to hit from rough lies (both go the same relative distance and the 2 driving irons) Dropped my lob wedge from the bag to make space for them and I would say a lot of handicap golfers could benefit from having more clubs top end of the bag
Ian @ 5:38: “You’re not having any issue getting up in the air with it.”
Everyone thinking: “That’s what she said...”
(Always love the content fellas! Best of luck, and keep doing what you’re doing)
and I was thinking, "thank goodness for them little blue pills!!!!!
Just bought one of these off the back of this review, be happy to hit half as far as Matt !!! Great video !
I would enjoy a “remedial physics of golf” video. E.g., moving CG this way does that, etc.
I feel so odd playing a bag without a fairway wood. But my 18* driving iron is so good for me it’s made my 3 wood almost irrelevant. Extra wedge might be more useful than a 3 wood. I’ve even thought of playing two drivers. A spinny forgiving high lofted driver and a bomber. How often do I need a 270 carry club instead of a 250? For longer hitters these days, if you aren’t playing 600 yard par 5s the 3 wood doesn’t get used much if you are comfortable with a driving iron.
I just don't get on with 3 woods consistently so I've got a tsi3 hybrid set to 18° and use it as my 3 wood as I can get 235 yards out of it and just got a callaway x forged utility iron for off the tee in to wind, then go in to a 4 iron. I'm much better with irons and so completely agree with what you are saying. So instead of 2 drivers I've got the utility as an alternative.
I purchased this in the 4 iron. Ive played around with the loft sleeve on the course. Not on a launch monitor though. The difference in lofting down on the course isnt too noticeable. Lofting up however you notice a higher apex. Super easy to hit off a tee. The boys couldnt believe the distance i was getting with a 4 iron. Around a 240 total distance. I paired it with a modus 105x. I usually play my clubs 2 degrees flat. I did notice the more upright lie angle had an opposite effect of what some might expect, where it actually causes me to fade the ball more and I have a harder time hitting a draw with this club. Its more of a straight/fade bias for me with the naturally upright lie angle. Great review!!
I like all these UDI's coming out when I'm trying to decide if the M2 hybrid stays in the bag, perfect timing.
I have this club from a few generations ago. Love the versatility. If it’s a windy day or I know I will need to hit it off the tee more I’ll set it at 18. If it’s a longer course that has a long par 3 or I know I’ll be hitting longer shots into a green, I’ll set it at 20 or 21. Great click off the face... love it.
Thanks for the great info guys, FYI you helped me make the conversion. I am one that has struggled with hybrids. Went to a Titleist fit and the U*510 was surprisingly friendly and better than woods & hybrid for me. I put it in to play and even a fairly stinky toe strike still gets a "good shot" from playing partners.
My cobra was adjustable a few years before the gapr was invented. Just a little fact check because Taylormade didn’t come up with the idea for once 😂
I recently bought the 3 iron in the KBS steel shaft. I spin woods way too much and this a great safe option off the tee. I wanted to get a little less spin and more rollout so I put it in the draw setting at 18.5 degrees. Great review.
Yet another great video from the Gents at TXG. Looking forward to the future driving iron tests.🥇
Love seeing the other than the biggest manufacturers get tested. Awesome job as always guys :))
Always the best golf review channel!
How in the heck do you get 11 thumbs down for this video? Informative, relatively short, good interaction...some people. Must be Nova Scotians...lol
I love my prior gen Cobra King UI. I run mine mainly at 18*. Great clubs.
TXG - would you guys be willing to do this same testing on the Cobra King Utility but in the One Length? I think a lot of people would love to see the One Length results, and then have you compared those results to the standard length results - see what kind of differences Matt is getting with basically the same lofts but different lengths. Would love to see this!!
Great content, enjoyed the review and the explanation behind the strikes and adjustments. Driving Irons have always intrigued me and put a Titleist 2 iron in my bag at one point with limited success. Much appreciated.
I play the older black one...My best club in the bag. ⛳
I have been looking at getting this club as 19.5 fills a gap in my bag perfectly
Been looking at getting a driving iron as of late. My hybrids are not my cup of tee right now! Might just have to give it a try. But want to see your other videos on the next few! Thanks awesome as always!
Superb as always gents!
I've had a real issue with the last few years cobra models.. they perform very well in my experience on low face toward heel strikes, but I'm much more of a down hitting high on the face more toward toe striker. Every cobra in the last few years, whether it be driver, fairway wood, hybrid, or iron, they all seem to struggle with these strikes.
that's great news for me right now, low heels are my miss
Yesterday I bought the King Utility 4 Iron (22.5*) and lofted down to 21*. Now I have something that goes 200+ meter from tee that is easy to hit-
Thanks for thr review, guys! Gives me more confidence in buying this club.
Man, I wish i would have saw this before I got my PXG 0311X 2I. The flexibility seems awesome
Thanks gents, another great review.
I ordered the 4 utility hoping for the high launch that you demonstrated with loft turned up.
Cheers
Been really wanting for you guys to review this. I have the forged tech one lengths and love them so I was looking at this driving iron. Also Bridgestone e12 soft with my forged techs feel like pure butter.
Been waiting on somebody to do a review on this club. Going to check it out this weekend for sure..
Great review”let’s see how toasty we can get it”
Maybe Ian should think about moonlighting in golf commentary
Love it. Just took my 5w out and put the DI back in.
I have a cobra 3 utility one length that i added to my wishon one lengths, been using it in 19.5 really nice club that you can feel spring off the sweet spot. Great for tighter par4's where i dont have room for a sliced driver. The draw setting have a big effect too, tried it out at the range and just hook it instead of straight.
How are you liking your set? I'm leaning towards that type of set up, or cobra one length hybrids. Really interested in single length
@@DavidSmith-lo7wf (reply 2 years later!) I really like the one length, but I am only using a limited set of clubs, I have a 5 hybrid (eq1-nx) 7/8/9 cobra irons in the one length.(corbra are strong lofter so dont need a 6) Above that i use a 5 wishon eq1-nxwood a driver and below i use a cleveland smart sole C (42deg) and 52 wedge, and a putter. I recently changed the sterling irons out for the new eq1-nx and in a few rounds the 7 iron cracked at the welds, I have now moved to cobras.
Was tempted to give this a go! Went with a 2 UDI though in a fitting I had. I think having the adjustability is more of a negative for me as I fiddle with it too much when maybe I’m not swinging the best. Plus UDI looks so good behind the ball. 🔥
Great content again as always. 👍🏼
The young guy who won the US Amateur last week won it with a 240 yard 3 iron on the 18th hole. One of these clubs would have been useful on that course.
Do I smell a driving iron shoot out....????
A Driving Iron Bracket, perhaps?
Love to see a shoot out with all the current driving irons like drivers and 3wood
What a club! I love Cobra woods but have never tried an iron. This may be in the running to replace my Miz HMB driving iron 🤷🏻♂️
Great Work love to See a League table with the new driving irons with the old p790 as wall
New subscriber I love all the videos. Keep up the awesome content guys.
I pre-ordered the 3 & 4 direct from Cobra when they were first announced because I could get them custom with the same Aerotech Steelfiber shafts I have in my MP-20 HMB. I wish Mizuno hadn't stop making "iron-like" hybrids. I guess the MP-18 versions didn't do too well for them.
Driving Iron Shootout!
Truth is there are players, like me, that struggle with hybrid and 3/4 wood, they went way too high and not workable. So I carry driver then mizuno mp 20 HMB in 2 (16.5*) and 3 (21*). As a better iron player im always interested in whats out there and how they all perform. Truth is you can play off the tee shot where you hit slightly up on it or level to hit lower and off the deck you can still work flight. Hybrids and woods never let me do that and seem like they are too hot off face and never stay consistent.
I had the previous generation of this club and put it in the bag exactly for the reason you mentioned. I was spinning my hybrid too much and it was flying way too high for me.
Utility Bracket!!! hahaha I can't wait for the ranking and wondering if Matt is going to bag a driving iron
Excellent review, great looking club for the price!
Nicely done chaps
Bought one off the back of this review, love it, thanks 👍😁
I've been looking for a club to hit 200-210 yds. Testing various driving irons might be the solution. Great review.
How far do u drive the ball
I hit my 3 hybrid 215 and it has become my best club in my bag it goes wherever I want it fairway off the tee I use a tour edge exs hybrid its amazing
You guys should do a video with an old bladed 1 iron! Would love to see those numbers and how you can swing that bad boy.
These clubs are really cool to watch when Matt hits them speaking for us 72 YO's can you order a couple for me and Ronnie they look like they would be quite effective weopons for the zombie apocalypse. :-))))) Great stuff as usual guys Cheers from Norcal
Very interesting category, for me the U510 is the best performer!!
Waiting for my Cleveland uhx utility iron. Would-be a nice alternative to give driving irons a try
As a person that plays P790 UDI 2 iron. Would love to see a head to head
I traded my UDi in for one of these beasties in 2 iron set +1 degree loft. Easier to launch and just as workable as the UDI. It's going to come down to personal preference.
You boys are nailing it at the moment. Genuine contenders to take Rick Shiels spot as #1 golf you tubers imo
Callum James the channels couldn’t be any more different. Rick’s testing is nowhere near as thorough or backed by numbers.
Rick is a pioneer for sure, but TXG is an entirely different level and arguably geared towards a more clued-in golfer.
@@lowcodelucas1088 are you Rick in disguise! not sure your making a relevant point there chief. Arguably all channels are different as they require to be to succeed. However, there can only be one at the top. All I'm saying is that if these lads continue on the path they are going I see them having a chance to go to #1 eventually.
Great video fellas. Would love to see a review on the Wilson Staff utility.
What is the comparison between this and a game improvement 3 iron? something like a F9 3 iron? Or z585 compared to u85 utility?
The F9 4i is 19.5 degrees. It's the longest they make for that set. They're out of stock at Cobra. The SZ 4i is 19 degrees and are $115 ea. I used a BioCell 4i off the tee for several years before I bought new irons and could hit it well... off the tee. I know driving irons are expensive. If you're on a budget you could try this. I actually miss my old BioCell 4i. I should have sold the set from 5-GW instead of 4-GW.
Julia-6 I don’t mean in a money aspect I meant how they compare in playability. Is one easier to hit off the turf?
I love this iron and wish they had this when I bought my clubs a few months ago. As a lefty I went with an MP-20 HMB and deported it three degrees. Is there anything I can alter on that club to make it easier to get off the ground? Lead tape? Put it back to the 18 degree of the 3 iron, which if I do that then will it go any further then my three iron when the only difference would be steel shaft verse hybrid graphite shaft? Love watching you guys!
Awesome review 👏 when are we getting the new Mizuno iron review 😀
Monday 👍
A driving iron bracket is such a good idea though end up with 3 brackets a year
Fantastic option.
Great video guys, the club looks really interesting. I use the Wilson Staff driving iron and it is so easy to launch it high and long, with a very soft feel. Any chance you would review that or test with other driving irons
So, because that DI is adjustable, does that mean any loft change will remove any offset change? It seems like the hosel adjustments would instead lean the top of the club creating less or more loft with the head staying in the same spot in relation to the shaft.
So I’ve been looking for a 4iron replacement. Have an Adam’s 7wood but finding the gapping to close to my 5 wood. I think I’ll try this club to fill that gap.
I'm curious what the differences would be between this utility 4 iron set at 21 degrees .... compared to the standard Cobra forged Tec 4-iron which is at 21 degrees ? I'm guessing the utility iron is potentially easier to hit ? More forgiving? Easier to launch ? More carry distance?
As much as I hate my 3 wood, I simply must try this club.
I wish I could find one in a one length 3 iron.
Noticed the 80g shaft. Even if X stiff would a 80g shaft in a 2 iron generally be a bit light for someone swinging it 105? For context I have a u510 2 iron with smoke 6.5 80g and wondering whether too light
Lie angle is more important to me so depending on what loft can get me to my 2 up lie will determine which loft I need
Wish TM did a club like this
TXG Can you please review the new are pxg 3 wood and hybrid because there aren't many good video's and you guys make the best please!!!
High quality Vid!!!!!!!
It would be great to see if a club like this could be a good 5 iron replacement for the average player that does not want to go to a 5 hybrid. I would like to see that with an average swing speed tester.
Would love to see you guys compare this type of conventional driving iron, versus something like a Sim Max OS 4-iron, which sits at 18 degrees. I had a hell of a time getting any air with my medium swing speed on the previous gen Cobra King Forged driving iron.
This! We pesky 100mph swingers may have a hard time getting these over the pond 200 yards away. I'd like to see this tested in that scenario.
Can y’all test the new Ben hogan driving iron? It looks really nice and the price is amazing compared to all of the other brands.
Great video as always guys! Might I ask what golf spikes is Matt wearing? I'm in the market of some golf spikes and those look clean!
Nike Roshe G
Awesome as always. Can you guys do the Ben Hogan UiHi?
I'm a high to mid handicap golfer. I have been using my 3-4 iron as an iron to use for a stinger shot or a get my self out of trouble iron. With a half back swing with full speed follow through I can typically hit the ball around 180-190 yards with my 4 iron. (full swing speed of 110-115 on average with driver and or 4 iron). I have been looking at adding the club to my bag to provide me some additional shot options as a second shot on a long par 5 or narrower fairways on par 4s. Do you have any suggestions to how I may better utilize the club to help take 2-5 strokes off my game.
-for the record I am working mainly on my putting and chipping to bring my handicap down immediately, just looking for something to help improve my long game.
Anyone know where you can get a new shaft for one of these. Based in Ireland.
Rocking a funky top today Ian. Are you looking for a Marvel film franchise!?
Hope you review the Tour Edge Exotic driving iron too.
Im thinking of getting a utility iron to complement my hybrid. Im not a fw player. Hybrid is high i want a lower flight similar to 4 iron but longer
Do you happen to have the one length version to test? Looking to order one of those, just not sure on the shaft. Thanks for the content as always!
Any plans to review the Callaway Super hybrid ? Would love to hear thoughts from the boys.
terrible with a three wood, been thinking of a 2hybrid (16*), have you done a video on delivery/swing characteristics that would favor one vs the other?
I hit my 4 iron 205 and I need a club that goes in the range of 210-225. Would the 4 utility be a good choice?
Marty wondering about your comment, what is it you are not liking about your hybrid now?
Great information on that club.
Do you think the tech in these driving irons means the traditional 3 wood could become obsolete for some players?
Can you review the Ping crossover please. Love these videos
Soo many clubs i need to try ..damn
Would love you guys to review the EXS Pro blades
@txg what do you think. Is it possible to bend this utility iron? I need 19° of loft and as a lefty only the 4 iron loft is available for the utility...
Well done fellas.
Can we get a review of the Hogan UiHi utility iron?!?
As a fellow lefty from what I can see I can only order the 3 loft with a stock graphite shaft. Is this right?
