COBRA KING FORGED TEC ONE LENGTH IRONS REVIEW

[@dan.downing]

This years Cobra Forged TEC are flat out gorgeous. No gimmicky design flourishes, just a purpose-built tool and a clean design. I love it.

[@churchofsighandthology]

Dear Mark, I was an aspiring junior reaching single handicap at 12 and was at 4 by the time I was 14. It was like set in stone that I would one day work in golf. Then it just stopped for me, I struggled in tournaments and stopped to reach the goals my pro set for me. He blamed it on me, that I didn't practice enough although I spent so many nights at the chipping and pitching area and biking home way past dark. I grew hatred to the game and although I never started playing any other sports I just couldn't get anywhere, especially mentally. Now I'm 32 and I'm still struggling to pick up a golf club without getting bad feelings. Still, every year or two I watch a couple of your videos and I get really excited about playing again, all the good memories return. But usually just 1-2 hours at the range or 9 holes completely drains me and my thoughts always circle around what could have been had I only been better. I wish I could somehow return to the game and feel excited about playing and accepting that I might never play at the level I did back then - but still go out and enjoy hitting the ball without taking it so seriously. Do you have any experience of this or any suggestions for how I could find my love for the game again? Best regards /Hans, Sweden

[@rvhextall]

In England you can receive CBT for free on our national health system which can basically help rewire your mind to think more positively about playing golf. Anything like that in Sweden? I'm guessing you've tried a lot of simpler things to try to help (playing with 5 clubs, playing pitch and putt, joining a society etc.)? I'm sure 9 holes with the muppets would put a smile on anyone's face...what about it MC?

I'd read zen golf. Very helpful.

[@churchofsighandthology]

[@mtnman1]

I started golfing last year at 35 years old, I bought the Fmax one length as my very first set ever. The idea of only learning one swing really appealed to me and it still does. I’m planning on getting properly fitted for the ForgeTech in the near future. Cheers from Raleigh, North Carolina!

[@danamcqueen6982]

I've been using the King F7 one length irons (5-GW) for about two years. Really improved my greens in regulation numbers, now averaging 13-14 per round, which has helped me reduce my handicap from 7 to 3. I'd like to try the new Forged TEC one length y to see what improvements Cobra have made.

I play Cobra one-length irons. Love them. Don’t think I’ll go back to regular irons. I use a one-length ‘hybrid’ 4 and it’s amazing.

[@kourt2469]

I've been playing the Tom Wishon sterling single length irons for 3 years. Absolutely love them. Not a fan of the cobra line. The whole point of single length is same swing, setup, ball position, etc. The cobra have the same length but different weight shafts and different lie angles so the clubs don't feel or look the same.

[@stephenholbrook5908]

I have been playing one lengths for nearly two years now, and I love them! I’m 50 years old and shoot low 80’s from the men’s tees. One lengths have simplified and improved my game. I’ll never buy another set set that isn’t one length.

Hi Mark been playing these one length irons and hybrids for about 2 years now gone from 7 handicap to 2 with them. Been playing golf for about 30 years now and never had a hole in one until I got these irons now I’ve had 2 hole in ones. Best things ever invented

[@dromeo17]

I have the F8 one length iron set, I love them. I am a 14 handicap. I am 56 years old. I love the consistency, distance and feel. Cobra has won me over. I am not going to be a professional. I do not play the tips, I play men's tees, and I have fun playing weekly with my friends. I like the fact that I CAN use a 4 and 5 iron and actually hit them, with Cobra one lengths. New irons have gotten so long, that I had to replace the longer irons with hybrids. I like the fact with Cobra, I can use a full set of irons and hit my distances. They work for me. Thanks Mark for all your videos, I appreciate and respect your insight!

[@kevinhoover4197]

King F7 for me, love them. Feel normal now and I’m much more consistent with strike. 5 all the way through to a 60 degree wedge. I’d have reservations about switching back to regular irons just the same as many would have going to one length.

[@Jake61Haight]

I am using one length and really like them. Wishing I went one length on my wedges too.

[@mattmcdonald6134]

Glad to hear somebody say this. Just ordered my wedges same length along with the cobra one

[@c.c2514]

I’ve been playing the F8 one length for two seasons now. My only gripe is the chunky ness of the sole and a tad bit heavy. I love the concept of not worrying about ball position. Since I only play maybe once a week and don’t have time to practice, it just keep things simple. I’ve gone from a 10hcp to an 8hcp without having to practice. It works for me.

[@totisanchez3607]

Ive played a set when i accidentally brought my sons bag. The set consists of 4 uron through gap wedge. They are easy to hit no adjustment for ball placement and stance width. I use a single plane swing which makes it more natural. Distances are almost the same as my variable length i500s but the ball flight is lower in the longer irons and higher on the shorter irons.

[@pierreevrard8283]

've been olaying rhe cobra king forged tec black one for 1 year now. Hcp went down from 12 to 6. I' ve never felt so confident behind the ball. Just love the concept : 1 set of clubs, 1 swing! Can't wait to see the 2020 models.

[@josiahjones9521]

I have the same clubs. Dropped my handicap from a 18 to a 11-12.

[@richdouglas2311]

I've played Wishon Sterlings since their introduction about 3 years ago. Set up at an 8-iron length. I'll never, ever go back to variable-length clubs.

[@chevy4x466]

Ya, I will take the plunge this winter with my Cleveland irons. I will go between 6-7 iron length.

[@ElvisPriscillaPresley]

You must be fitted properly with one length, priority being the gapping. A must.

[@2Eaglez]

I am on my second set of one length, current is 6 through pitching wedge Cobra F Max Gap wedge is Cobra F8. 4 and 5 hybrid are Pinhawk. All are 37.5 length and all are 62.5 lie. I went back to standard length Pings G25 after playing some GRIA Nova single length irons. Liked the Pings and played them for 5 + years. Went back to single length for control and the only clubs not single length are my Driver ,3 wood, and sand wedge. I use the Gap wedge like most use their sand wedge. For the touch shots around the green. My sand wedge is a one trick pony - sand trap.

[@nickracine]

Great review per usual! I've gamed the Cobra King Forged One length for a year now and I don't see myself going back to variable length anytime soon. One of the best things about one length clubs is that it cuts my practice time in half. I can work on shot shapes and accuracy bucket after bucket without losing sleep that I didn't hit every club above my 6 iron during my practice session. Another plus for me is that I like the simplicity of the setup throughout the set. This translates seamlessly onto the course and helps me by having one less thing to think about before I hit my shot. And the last thing I should mention is that the clubs are stunning! Great quality through and through. I'm so glad I tried the one length because prior to doing so, I had never tried a Cobra product. Now they are the first company I look at when I am in the market for a new club. Their quality and price really can't be beat.

[@terryanderson8720]

Same for me...

I purchased f8 one length this year. Love them. A fairly new senior golfer very consistent for me. Reliable if you commit. Not complicated. 😊

I picked up a set of the Cobra F-8 one length irons this year. I really enjoyed hitting them and will be keeping them around for the foreseeable future 👍

[@robertmiddleton5006]

in response to your comment about not meeting anyone who "needs" one-length : I'm 6'6" with back issues - had one disc surgery and have some other issues. Cobra made me a set of graphite one length irons and wedges at plus 2 inches. This makes the short clubs what would seem ridiculously long to most people but has greatly reduced the amount of back pain I have after playing. I only play irons up to the 7 - and I love them. Having said that I tried the one length hybrids and really disliked them for basically the same reason - I want to be able to stand as straight up as possible. After a demo day a few weeks ago (before the Coronavirus killed events) I went to Taylormade Sim Max Hybrids at + 3/4 inch. They blended nicely into my Cobra irons and woods. Thanks for your reviews.

[@mikewiggill3140]

I gamed the original F7 One Length with a borrowed set. Fell in love with the entire One Length concept. If I could afford new irons I would be shopping for these

[@johnmagnell8902]

I have an old set of mizuno mp52s. Cut down the 6 & 5 iron to 7 iron length. Adjusted lie and added some ledtape. I then bought a cobra 4hybrid one length. Actually works brilliantly.

[@Mic_melody]

I love one length because I get more value out of my range sessions. I have one length from 4hybrid down to my lob wedge and it’s honestly the same exact same setup and swing for those 10 clubs. As a result I’ve been able to focus on my driver and 3-wood even more, now I’ don’t have a weak club in the bag. my woods are longer and more accurate than ever, and I’ve been able to drop 7 strokes off my game in a span of 5 months. The concept is simple yet so effective, why more people don’t get into one length is beyond me.

[@TheTDH64]

Love your guys reviews on one length! Have no bias against them (which so many others do). I game one length F8s. Absolutely love them hands down best clubs I’ve ever played. As for the top end, I game up to a 5i (22.5*) and then use a 3hybrid (19*) as a substitute for a 4 iron. Ends up tapping the clubs perfectly then that way I’ve found.

[@bolz1234]

Hi Mark- I’ve been using Cobra F9’s since February and my handicap has dropped from a 23 to 16.5 over the summer. I had a tough time with my short game initially (as a number of people have expressed in the comments) so now my 4 iron thru PW are One Length and my Gap, 56 degree and SW are standard progressive length. The F9’s are great and much longer than my old clubs - 7 iron has gone from 150 to 165 yards which was a nice surprise. To complete the package I ordered new driver and 3 wood combo that are 1 inch short which has really helped me keep it in the fairway.

[@peterw6791]

Hi how long were you playing at 23 handicap before you dropped to 16.5? I am looking at a set of one length and trying to gauge things. Cheers Pete

[@QUANTRELLBISHOP]

I'm using one iron Blackstones and at 1st I didn't lie them but now I love them. 1 thing I don't like is how they use degrees as their club instead of traditional numbers. But every club is the exact same weight and length

[@leroyvalley8727]

Great video! This covers all aspects of these clubs, from looks, to feel, and performance! My current set of clubs are the Cobra Forged Tec from 2018, standard variable length with the Recoil 660 graphite shaft. My handicap is normally around 6-9, and once in a while it drops to 4-5, so I can hit the ball fairly well. I love the feel of my current clubs, but do struggle at times with my distance irons. I just ordered a set of one length King Forged Tec irons with the Recoil 460 ESX shafts and am looking forward to them even more after watching this video! I ordered the 5-GW along with the one length Speedzone hybrids in 3 and 4. Once I get them and play them for a bit, I'll come back and give you my feedback.

[@vallianthopeland1690]

how did these compare to your cobra forged tec 2018's after playing the new ones a while? thx in advance for any insight

[@anthonyjames4522]

Love that you are doing inside and outside testing 👍

[@bkwchiu]

I put the one length 22 degree hybrid in my bag to replace my five iron. Best decision ever. Towering shots, low chippy ones to get out of trouble, chip/putting from off the green. Does everything.

[@adski01]

Haven't gamed one length irons because I've had the same clubs for 11 years and don't have the cash to try and change regularly. Plus you taught us that it's all about the player!

[@bobbrown5951]

I bought Cobra F-Max one length just on a whim and have shot some of my best rounds with them (I also play Ping G25's}. You have to practice with them as the least and most lofted clubs just feel odd at first. And you have to trust the tech. Note the F-Max lie angles are all the same (Speed Zone aren't) and I was standing farther from the ball with the five iron at first when I shouldn't have. Gotta remember one setup for all. I highly recommend at least trying one length. They're fun.

[@westy67]

One length went in the bag as of last week. A change from 695MB's. There is an adjustment period going on for sure, but I feel like my strike is on the improve. I'm naturally a low ball flight so it kind of seems pretty similar in the 4 and 5 irons. Gapping possibly a little tight. Happy to get some extra height with the shorter irons as my course is a links style. Spin seems to be on par with what you show on the video. I've seen my 7 iron spin off the front of a green to a tight pin. Just adjustment time. Happy with the decision overall to go the way I've gone.

[@sailingnoboundaries]

I haven’t tried one-length because Mizuno does not have a one-length model.

I used Cobra one length irons, PW to 7 iron, there was a difference in distance, but 6 to 4 hybrid, all pretty much the same distance plus a flat flight!. I think that these irons/ hybrids need individual club customisations, to get the best from these!. Keep going Cobra!.

[@davidpwhitehouse]

Got the one length F-Max. Love them. Great for me with the confidence of the long irons. U are right they bleed into each other with my 5 iron and my 4 hybrid (f8 one length). Love the short game, I do grip down for the feely shots, but otherwise I try to keep it all the same. Loving the videos. Keep them coming

[@kymstock1852]

I bought a second hand set of Cobra F7 one length irons. Liked them a lot. I sold them and bought the F9 one length. I am getting pretty good with them now. They seem like about 1/2 a club longer than the F7. I have tried some graphite shafted SL irons from Milford golf in Oz. Very similar to F7 Cobra at 50% the price. If you don't have a high swing speed, go 5-GW and a SL hybrid instead of the 4 iron.

[@ianbarton2581]

How about blending these with regular at the lower end so that wedge to 8 feel like normal

[@TheWora1]

New to golf, started playing about 1.5 years ago, purchased a set of regular clubs (game improvement type) about 6 months later switched to One Length, Cobra F9. Yes I had to get a bit used to the long 8i, 9i & wedges, but the confidence I felt hitting 4i & 5i was well worth it. Now that I've been using the OL for almost 1 year I'm absolutely convinced it was the right choice for me, it truly is exactly the same swing for all clubs. i do sometimes 'choke-up' on the SW & my 60, but I don't find that difficult at all. Yes the flight is lower on the 4i & 5i (comparing to traditional clubs), and the flight on the wedges is very high, but I don't see how this has a negative impact, since the yardage and gapping works very well for me. Like 99% of us, golf is our hobby, we will never make money playing this great game, so if the gaping is 8yds vs. 10 yds from traditional clubs this will certainly not affect my overall satisfaction of playing the game. I would not recommend one length to an experienced low handicap golfer, no reason to re-learn, but I would most certainly recommend all new golfers to at least try them. cheers!!

[@shannondudley3757]

I currently own a set of Cobra F7 5 - PW one length irons. Once I learned to play them my game has improved. I've dropped my handicap from 14 to 11.2 in two seasons. I had several rounds this summer where I was close to breaking 80. Admittedly, I do not play one length wedges and I do feel that the 5 iron comes out rather flat, but it does not offset all the benefits I have found.I'm thinking of upgrading my set and will test the Forged Tec. I like its looks and I've bought into its concept

[@mattwilliams3104]

So far loving the one length world. Mine is a bit different tho as I went one length 5-7, hybrid, and utility iron and regular length 8-wedges. Had to do some gap fits to get those worked out but overall loving that setup.

[@JRock4572001]

I started with the Cobra F7 one length irons when they first came out. I will never go back to variable length ever again. Yes, at first it was strange to see a PW with the extra length but the moment you tell your mind to swing every club like a 7 iron the clubs will do amazing things. The repeatability of these clubs is what I love the most. I can take one club to the range and practice the hell out of the club and know that if I swing the same way the rest will take care of itself. I know golf is very personable but to me variable length clubs is just make absolutely no sense.

I own the F9 Speedback One Lengths. 6i - SW (One Length) but I went with the standard length F9 Speedback 4H and 5H. I've had no trouble gaming the one lengths. I got the OL because I have a bad back and have trouble with short irons and they make them easy. When I tried the OL 5H, I had 0 gapping between that and the 6i, and only 9 yds between the 5i and the 6i, whereas there is 13 yds between the 7i and 6i. I never had any trouble with standard length hybrids so why change?

I use one length in 6i, 5i, 3ut. I found that the 4i didn't gap enough from the 5. Then I play 5 wood, 3 wood, driver at the top end. At the low end I game mizuno jpx921's to 7-PW and 3 t20 wedges (50, 55, 60). It took me two years to design my frankenbag.

I have been playong King Forged One Lengths for a few years now. (the ones with traditional lofts). I have LW-5i. I swapped out my 4i with one length 4h and 3h. I really enjoy the set. I'm 6'3" tall so I like the longer wedges. The wedges go pretty high and the long irons are flatter and they do bunch up a bit, but I do hit them straighter. I'll probably stick with them.

[@natebass9209]

2 seasons ago I decided to check my ego and move to cavity back clubs, in an effort to “simplify” my game. When talking with the pro at a local club he suggested one length given my goal and I love it. Bought the King F9 and I Never have to think about where the ball is in my stance, never have to think about changing my swing. Sure maybe my launch height is different, but overall my game has improved significantly. It’s unlikely I’ll ever go back. I will say, I plan to buy a standard 3-4 utility iron because I like the length on a utility.

[@samgrace12020]

I played the cobra forged one length, and i loved them. the only issue i had was that eventually after playing more and more, i needed different shafts which meant a custom fitting. I would play one length again without any issue, but I got custom fit into mizuno JPX 919 tour irons. I loved the one length, and it was the second performer behind the mizunos. the only difference was that I liked the height better with the mizunos in the longer irons, and I found it easier to shape the golf ball. I sold my set to a friend, and he has gone from a 24 handicap to a 16 since getting them. They are so easy to use since you don't have to change any other part of your swing. I think people should look into them more, but make sure that you get the right shaft and weight to help with your ball flight. Otherwise those forged one irons were incredible.

[@golfreviewshow]

I have been playing with one length irons for almost a year now, F8s and won my first 2 gold leadfs with them, i play off 8 and bought 4 to gap but only use 4 to PW, plus 3 other wedges. Also bought the utility 3 iron which is adjustable and I love it. Did take a while to get used to the look in the longer irons and wedge but once you see the numbers it helps you to trust, Not for everyone

[@asw16177]

I have been using the cobra f7 one lengths for what must be nearly 2 years now... I use LW-3 iron. One thing I'd said for potential users (in my opinion)... Don't get sucked into what I saw in this video and start gripping down the club (effectively making it a 'normal' club), you have to embrace what the club is designed for to make the most of them. Even around the green. I've gone from 14 to 11 handicap and it's a game simplifier for me, same setup for every shot pretty much. For a better player I'm not sure of their benefit.... For a mid to high I think they're a great idea.

[@davepalmerton2429]

I think you hit the nail on the head...I don't want to relearn short irons ( the strength of my game ) to improve the part of my game I use the least ( long irons ). Golf is a game of trade offs I guess.

I have Cobra Forged Tec OL Black irons in 5-GW and normal length 54 and 58 wedges. I love them and have dropped my handicap by 6 strokes. But the longer irons do have a lower ball flight. If they can fix that, one length would be perfect.

[@michaelkladis8015]

That's why I don't have a 4 iron or 4 hybrid. My set goes from a 3 Hybrid to a 5 iron. The gapping is consistent in that set up FOR ME. I completely agree that no one really NEEDS One Length but I like the idea of a constant length club.

[@ThomasHoffDE]

changed to one-length 3 years ago and it dramatically reduced my handicap. Looking to refresh my cobra one-lengths this year with these most likely

[@scottsmith8546]

Great video Mark. One length clubs can only be called "GAME IMPROVEMENT" clubs because you can not cheat physics. The club head speed of any club increases with length because the head is farther away from the pivot point. No matter how they configure the club.

[@scottsmith8546]

@Just Hustle Speed is the most important factor when controlling the distance of each club...but I understand that if you hit it higher or lower etc...the distance will change. My point was, if you have 35" club as a PW and 35" 7 iron at it's normal length, it is really hard to get a longer PW to hit the spots it would as a shorter(more normal) PW. In a nutshell, things that are farther away are going faster than things that are closer to you with the same swing.

[@fraiserbrough4868]

Love them, took a bit to get used to but so easy to hit a long way

[@joshuamcclellan4942]

I have 4 thru pw in f8 one length and I don't ever hit my 4 iron I hit to low also probably going to replace it with a one length 4 hybrid. Now I love my 5 iron really well for some reason one of my go to clubs.

[@bigd2cool13]

Have been gaming them since the F7 ones came out, love them and suit my game really well

[@natgolfpro1]

I absolutely love my F8 forged TEC

[@par4geo1]

My 2nd set of One Length (wore out the 2017 Forged Ones, 4-GW), makeup 5-GW SZ 4 RAD Speed...all w/KBS stock steel, std length and lie. Have shot or beaten my age (I'm in my 70's) with one length irons 4 straight years. Love them...I'm a single plane swinger. I was disappointed they discontinued the Forged Ones for all but Bryson. Looks like I should give the Forged Tec Ones a try!

[@mctayto1]

I had a set 4yr ago from usa made by "1iron" supposedly the ones that Bryson started with. I had only returned to golf so figured the same stance for all made sense. I found everything worked well until you went past 6 iron (mine were 7 iron length) I found that I was lucky to get a 6 yd gaps between 6, 5, 4 & 3 irons so had I stuck with them I would have had to lose 5 & 3 irons with hybrids to supplement I was reluctant to get rid of my one length 48, 52. 56 & 60 as the extra height comes in handy on parkland courses. After 2 yrs back to golf I reverted to standard irons Just watched the vlog, Instead of opening the face with the wedges I found that you could get accurate distances by varying the length of swing ie using clockface technique

[@aaron_b.]

1iron isn't the original Bryson company

[@mctayto1]

Aaron Bae, you are likely right but from memory they were at the very least using him as a selling point. Either way, it is irrelevant as my comment was indicating my findings on why I tried them (returning to the game after 10yr absence) and how I found them to use.

[@mychaljw]

Bryson was using EDELGolf.com Single Length clubs before signing with Cobra.

[@mctayto1]

@@mychaljw if you had read my reply to Aaron you would not have needed to state edel golf. Also in my response to Aaron : it is irrelevant as my comment was indicating my findings on why I tried them (returning to the game after 10yr absence) and how I found them to use.

[@mychaljw]

@@mctayto1 No offense. I just thought perhaps you would want to know the information since Aaron only indicated it was wrong, not who the actual company was. If it were me, I would want to know the correct information for the future, even if my point didn't require the brand. As someone also returning the game (21 years from my last round), good luck with your improvement.

[@russellhoguephd7925]

Heck yes. I am gaming one length. Started last year and dropped a ton of strokes off the game. Can’t wait for year 2.

[@russellhoguephd7925]

I dropped about 6 shots off handicap this year down to 6 index. At first the shorter clubs bothered me, and I choked up. By end of summer, same grip and same setup every shot...so easy.

[@russellhoguephd7925]

What do I like: 1. Practice with 1 club (same as every other club) reduce time at range. 2. Consistent setup. Every club. Easy. No thinking makes it easier to focus on hitting shots. 3. Arccos erases all doubts. If you center the hit, you know exactly what to expect. Overall....game changer.

[@robbiles]

Interesting those spin numbers. Sure Quad wasn't just playing with you for taking him out in the rain. Haven't played them. Would like to try. The idea of repeatable setup/swing excites me (can see why they might suit someone new to golf because of this) but the gapping at the top end scares me. A lot of money if it doesn't suit and having a standard set with the same head would make me just not take the chance.

[@eriklarshansen]

I have gamed the Cobra F9 One Length clubs for the last 10 months, and last week received a new 5-GW set of the Forged Tec One Length clubs. Obviously I like the One Length concept enough to buy a second set. Why two sets? The F9's will stay at my US home and the Forged Tec clubs will stay at my Scotland home, primarily because after a week with the Forged Tec's I find they fly a bit lower than the F9's. I should also note that after a year of using the F9s with Lamkin Mid-Sized grips, I have re-gripped both sets with medium sized JumboMax St8Tec grips. On the other clubs in my bag--TM M4 driver and HiLoft 3-wood, M4 19° hybrid, and two Forged TM wedges, I installed the JumboMax UltraLite grips which I thanks gives me a bit more sense of the club head. The fat grips have reduced my grip pressure resulting in greater accuracy and length from a better release. I'm an older (70), 17 handicapper who played off 12 to 13 for most of my golfing days when I was younger, and hope to get back down to how I used to play. I highly recommend the one length clubs for the all reasons that Cobra has stated although the most compelling reason is one swing--all irons. I should add that I love change in general, while many golfers, notably Mark Crossfied 😎, are generally resistant to change. When Cobra comes out with wedges in one length that are a good match for the Forged Tec irons, I intend to change over my 54° and 58° wedges as well. I understand that Cobra is targeting January or February for the launch of these.

[@haakonstorhaug1606]

Really enjoyed the review. I haven’t tried one length, but I have used arccos this year. I agree with your comment that golfers are nervous about the accuracy of the numbers. However, my main issue is that arccos seems to miss a few shots, and correcting this afterwards is a hassle. Also, it does not seem to recognize penalties (or I haven’t found out how to correct for them). It’s a good system, but maybe too much data.

[@simonh2011]

Havent tried them as I think I'd be fine with the longer irons being shorter. But playing 8,9,PW,GW at 7 iron length may feel weird. Plus I like my clubs looking like stairs in my bag!

[@joshuamcclellan4942]

I play f8 forged one length and I love them.

[@NoPancakeMix9000]

Yes. Got the F7s in 5-Pw, keen to try these to replace 8-Pw

[@boydgrandy5769]

I've got a set of Cobra F8 one length irons. I played everything up to 7 iron this year. I'm still training on 6,5, and 4. I hit the 6 and 5 much more reliably now (some of that is swing technique improvement I'm getting from watching your channel, by the way), but I get just about nothing between 5 and 4. As I get older, I'm finding a 4 iron of any stripe to be harder to hit, so I actually game a Cobra F8 hybrid, which I can easily get up and out where a 4 iron should be (190-195 yards). Next season (I'm in upstate New York, so the season may not start for another 6 months. meh), I'm going to play the set except for the 4. Wasn't fitted for them, but then I've never had a fitting. I bought these from one of my golf buds who bought 'em and hated 'em. Cheap.
