Time for new irons

[mmills820105]

After playing with my knock-off clubs for two summers, I am finally going to bite the bullet and get a new set. I have decided upon the Cobra SS-i after hitting every club out there (pretty much.) I am getting a good price of $350CDN on them, but I am wondering, I see some people on this board carry only 5,6,7,8,9,PW in their bags, and them some extra woods or a hybrid. My question is, how can you purchase just the 5,6,7,8,9,PW? Where I'm from (Newfoundland), you can only get them from 3-PW. I never hit my 3 or 4 (very well anyway) so I could use that space for another hybrid or wood. 5-PW would be ideal for me.

Tks.

Virtually every OEM everywhere only sells 3-PW, which is a huge rip-off in today's market IMHO. Almost all the OEM's make hybrids and 7 woods to replace long irons (even Callaway & Titleist), but you have to spend more $$$ to purchase them separately. I believe only Adams and Ping sell sets that can include hybrids (there may be others) - unless you go to a clubmaker to build you a set from components.

Ping will let you buy 5,6,7,8,9,pw,uw,sw instead of 3-pw.

You'll also get custom fitted. Ping is one of those brands you either love them or hate them.

Hogan has a set like this also.

I purchased a partial set of Cobra SSi irons(4 to 9) this past summer at one of our local Pro shops. They ordered them directly from Acushnet Golf which owns Titleist and Cobra brands. Maybe you could contact Acushnet Golf and find out if some proshop near you does the same.

I couldn't hit my old 4 iron worth beans but I am amazed how well I can hit the Cobra SSi 4 iron. I love newer technology.

Why not try a set of Snake Eyes, KZG or Wishon irons?

I have only used Snake Eyes, but all are supposed to be good. Get them at a much lower price than the Cobras or whatever and with your exact desired specs.

Otherwise the Hogan Apex line with the hybrid 3/4 is a solid choice.

Where did you find the SSIs for $350 CDN? Your post is almost identical to my story - I seem to like the SSIs the best of the OEMs (although Ping i3+ were mighty nice as well). I am still looking into the custom component route but at $350 CDN that starts to bring the price out of the equation.

Got a friend who works at Pro Golf. Sorry.

I bought my Mizuno's 4-GW earlier this year. The retailer (Golftown) simply swapped out the 3 iron for a MP GW. It didn't cost me more. Any retailer should be able to do it. All they have to do is order their next set without the club you didn't get and sub the 3 iron into the set when it arrives.

Adams has a great set of 5-PW and #3 and #4 hybrids
