Guys I need you help. I have played the same irons for forever it seems like. So I decided to treat myself to a new set this year. The irons that I have are standard size and I can hit them straight as a arrow, and be pretty accurate. Now here's the problem. I bought a set of the cobra SS-I oversize irons. And hit them for the first time today on the range. I can't even come close to my target. to be exact I am like 30 yards right 7 out of ten. Could it be that with the extra weight that I am swinging I am just not flipping my wrist enough to square the club face ,or is accuracy a normal problem when switching to new clubs and will eventually come back with time, and practice.Please Help!!!!

My questions are, why did you make a change when you were hitting your other irons so well, and did you hit the Cobra irons before you bought them?

What irons did you switch from?

I'm in the process of looking for new irons myself. I have probably hit 8-10 different sets, and I am constantly asking other golfers their opinions of what they hit. It is kind of a fun process. It is driving my wife nuts, dragging her to different pro shops. I always remind her of how many times I have been with her when she is trying on another pair of black shoes. How many pairs do they need?

I'm Still Up, Were you fitted for the new irons? Did you look into what lie angle you were? If not, Look at your divots. Your divots can tell you alot about your swing and contact with the ball. Most balls will sail to the right of the target because the players lie angle of the iron is too flat. If the toe of your iron is going into the ground and the heel is not, your shots will sail right of your target. If the heel of the club is taking the divot, your lie angle is too steep and your ball will go left of the targe. Granted there are other reasons why your ball could be going right, but if it's new equipment that is the first thing I would look for. Good Luck

The old irons were Wilson advantage. The clubs that I got were standard lie and loft. I fitted for a set of pings while I was making my decision and that is what I came out to be.

If you measured for standard, and these Cobra's are suppose to be standard, I would have them checked on a loft and lie machine. I would also check the lie angle of your old set, just to be sure there are not any major differences.

I'm very surprised this question hasn't been asked yet: What type(steel, graphite), flex(reg, med, stif, sr) and length(std, +1", -1"...etc) shafts are on the Wilsons? The Cobras?

You don't get all those choices with a Wison advantage set, because it is a starter set. Whether they are graphite or steal you can bet the shafts are regular flex, or softer, even if he purchased a set that said stiff.

Have you only used them once? I would try them out for about two weeks before I ebayed them.

The irons may exaggerate the flaw, but it's most likely a flaw and how you're swinging the club.

Ding,Ding,Ding,Ding. You are the winner! I went out to a shop today with my Cobra 6 iron and my Wilson 6 iron. The verdict is.... They are both standard lie and loft. We taped the bottom of each and I hit both on the ping board. I am hitting dead center. BUT he said that my back swing was a little flat. So I guess the only thing wrong was the guy holding the club in his hand. He said that all irons take time to adjust to. Since this is only my second set I didn't know that. But I feel better now.

I agree. For whatever reason - sometimes you adjust right away, and other times it take several rounds and range sessions. When I switched from Callaways to forged Hogans, it took me a good 2 months to finally dial them in.

It is frustrating. I am sick and can't get out to shake this problem..

Im betting is more of your swing than the irons. I would have a swing coach look at your swing
