How to Compare Transition Golf Irons

Cobra Transition Irons are for mid-to-high handicappers.

The Cobra Transition-S irons are designed with the higher-handicap golfer in mind. Cobra has replaced the longer irons with utility woods and hybrids, allowing for larger hitting surfaces and easier launching ability throughout the set. The irons have thicker soles and large cavity backs to help golfers get the ball in the air.

Feel

Swing the Cobra Transition-S irons a few times and pay attention to how the clubs feel. A new set of irons should inspire confidence when they are in your hands. Any subtle discomfort will magnify itself during an actual round. Some people like the feel of hybrids and utility woods, while some prefer the feel of traditional irons.

Appearance

Similarly, you should like the way your clubs look. The Cobra Transition-S irons offer a fairly traditional look, despite their game-improvement technology. Determine if you like the color, finish and shape of the clubheads because this will lead to better ball-striking down the road.

Performance

Try out the set before you buy them. If you are going to invest several hundred dollars into a new set of golf clubs, you better hit them first. See for yourself whether or not the Cobra Transition-S irons can help your game.

Price

Price is a big factor in determining the right set of irons for you. The Cobra Transition-S irons have a suggested retail price of $840 as of 2010. This price is fairly typical for a new set of golf clubs. A set of clubs should last you several years, and perhaps decades if you take care of them properly.
