Cobra Air X Vs Cobra Aerojet Irons Comparison & Review 2023

 

“One of the good things about the game improvement iron market is that there are all kinds of game improvement irons.”

More specifically there are varying degrees of shot assistance that you can get based on your skill level and shot tendencies. That remains true even if you are shopping for different iron sets under the same brand.

The Cobra Aerojet and the Cobra Air X irons are prime examples of this variety. While we would feel comfortable classifying both sets as GI irons, they take different approaches to help golfers. In the following comparison review, we will be taking a look at both sets, telling you how they perform and who they might benefit.

Cobra Air X Irons Overview

 

“First and foremost, the Cobra Air X irons were built to be lightweight.”

If you slap the stock graphite shafts on these irons, you are looking at a swing weight of C7.5. It’s obvious that Cobra wanted to emphasize a lightweight design in order to help players swing the club head faster and generate more distance that way.

The Cobra Air X irons will definitely help you get the ball in the air too. They have weak lofts with the 9-iron being set to 40°. In addition to the loft profile, they have deep undercut cavities that lower the CG and promote towering shots pretty much throughout the set.

The idea here is to increase carry distance through better apex height. However, perhaps an unintended bonus of these irons is that they have ample stopping power – even for a high handicapper.

Cobra Aerojet Irons Overview

 

“The Cobra Aerojet irons are newer than the Air X’s and sport a new face design.”

New for Cobra;but not really new to the golf world. Basically, Cobra added a variable thickness face to the Cobra Aerojet irons. This allows for more flex across the face – and as you may already know, more flex typically leads to faster ball speeds.

The Cobra Aerojet irons also feature a redesigned internal weight. See, the only problem with higher face flexion is that it tends to make flight less stable. To counter this, MOI has to be increased. The new internal weight does a good job of increasing MOI as it basically acts as a brace that connects the heel and toe sections.

The weight is actually floating above the sole and is covered with a layer of soft polymer. The thinner, variable thickness face would usually make it harder for players to get a straight shot but the”PWR-BRIDGE” weighting system helps negate the head/face twisting that usually causes erratic flight paths.

Overview Conclusion

“The Cobra Aerojet and Cobra Air X irons go about forgiveness and game improvement in very different ways.”

The Cobra Air X would be a good choice for anyone who wants to get their swing speed up and can work with a lot of offset. The Cobra Aerojet irons are better for players who want more distance and straighter shots.
