2022 Cobra Forged Tec & Forged Tec X Irons Review

[@timothydaniels504]

Thanks Matt. Just got fitted for Forged Tec X. With a super light Accra graphite shaft it’s going to add some height and distance to my aging game. They look great, the feel is great and the feeling of speed off the face gives me a confidence boost.

[@ryanscrutchfield534]

Great review. I went and tested these. I ended up buying 4-pw in the X version. Amazing feel and the distance is amazing. I was shocked on how easy they were to hit. Great video! Keep them coming.

[@pewpewtactical5288]

You still like you me tec x after a year of play?

[@rufussthoo4083]

Thanks Matt. I noticed the Tec had only 1 yard more roll-out than your T100, so with the extra carry yardage, it's looking pretty good.

[@jrshields3]

Just picked these up to replace my T200s (2019). The feel is great and the added distance is impressive! Great review!

[@legend9018]

Love it. I have the forged tec X irons and am very happy with the sound and feel for an iron in this category

[@bgoggin88]

Matt I love your reviews. the pace is refreshing.

[@Fluffyguy958]

My dad got these (non x model) after being fitted for a set of irons. They are great for the guys used to a smaller shape that have lost their distance with age it seems

[@logansoto1422]

I have the 2020 tec irons and they have felt really good for the past 2 year

[@AlohaSnackBR]

Got fitted for the forged tec one length over the weekend. It was a huge upgrade over my F9’s. I’m a 15 handicap, so the FT’s are a bit above my level, but they still gave me the best numbers above the P790, Ping i5, Rogue & some other game improvement clubs. Can’t wait to get these in the bag

[@todpharis4996]

Love the channel Matty. Miss ya on TXG but glad us lefty’s get to watch ya on your new channel.

[@gcbaseball30]

I play a cobra driver and love it. I may need to consider some cobra irons!

[@jvelez1998]

Matt, congrats on the continued growth of the channel. Love the mix of club testing, lessons with LC, and mental health topics. Respect and keep up the great work. 💪🤣🙌💯👍👍🙏🙏☝️☝️

[@GolfLiberty]

Thanks Jason!

[@jeremytjensvold9936]

Matty BOI! I’m so glad I found you buddy! I actually just traded my Srixon zx7 in for the Standard Forged Tech

[@gilquevillon5441]

Great review. Fitted in the tec last week. Took these over p790.

[@BaxGolfPNW]

X are being built and should be in my hands in 3-4 days. So excited

[@Tapiorable]

Love the videos! Always straight to the point. I also enjoy the comparison videos. Would love to see you do a P790 vs Stealth if possible! Keep up the good work, bud!

[@sshadow2]

Great review Matt! I'm a 20hcp and play the 2020 model and love them. I'm looking forward getting my hands on '22 Forged Tec as well. In my case, I WILL be sticking with the same company.

[@igolffff]

I currently have two sets of Cobra forged irons. They really make a great product! Thanks for the review Matt

[@The_sunday_lout]

Nice review Matt, 97mph average SS with a 7 iron. Swinging fast and in control, very impressive. Loft comparable to a 5 iron rather then a 7 iron and flying the height of an 8 iron. Mental what club manufacturers are getting clubs to do.

[@CoryLancasterYT]

Put them up against the Rogue ST Pros and the 225s! Great vid as always!

[@gSF95]

Best your swing has ever looked ,looks so fluid and free

[@prestondaniel5932]

Nice review Matt. Love the channel. I really enjoy the shop videos (i.e., the reviews, lessons, and drills). Extremely helpful content. I would love to see you incorporate some on-course equipment reviews and play strategy videos. I know the added complexity of shooting outdoors, but we've all seen how innovative you are so I know you would work it out and produce an exceptional product. Can't wait to see what you do next.

[@mikescott8894]

Another great video. You are such a likable person.

[@GolfLiberty]

Thanks Mike!

[@bobbykrechuniak8875]

Love to see an upload from Matt, plus those forged tecs look gorgeous.

[@markaochoa2017]

Doing some research for my brother. He's a mid handicap guy and these seem sleek and powerful. I think more people need to give cobra a chance.

[@nathanblair8883]

I currently play with a vintage set of cleveland ta6's which still do the job! Recently went to get fitted for the forg tec's and loved them! Since then iv bought & played 1 round with them and I'm struggling big time! No real feel & feels hard off the face with little forgiveness!!

[@cwugrad396]

surprised there are not more reviews for these irons but great review Matt

[@erik2446]

Will keep these in mind, thanks!

[@jonathanbalangon9671]

Wish you had a comparison vs previous model. Good job. Thanks

[@swingking83]

Would love to see, if you can, a comparison between all the hollow body irons. Forged tec vs mizuno 225 vs p790 and so on.

[@joelane2845]

I would love to see that too!! Comparing the gap wedges or pitching wedges too so you can see how the scoring clubs do too!!

[@justinm4801]

You could definitely pair these up with a bxs, prov1x, chrome soft x to get more spin as well

[@joelane2845]

Hi again Matt !! Please give an overall ranking to the following 3 irons in terms of feel, forgiveness and playability on full shots, wedge shots and chipping around the green. Mizuno Pro 225, Taylormade P790 and the 2022 Cobra Forge Tec. Thank you !!

[@michaelrobinson8155]

Great review Matt. They look and sound great.

[@danielwinterbottom5531]

Great video matt, I used to play older version of forged tec, they were great for misshits but for me as a low launch/spin but quick player flyers were the issue but now play 770s with modus 130s, really helps me with launch/spin etc

[@richardgatehouse1520]

Great review thanks Matt. Definitely on my shortlist to try out

[@teekoh]

Matty Boy! :) Glad you have your own channel now. Quick question. When you give up around 1100 rpm of speed by going to the forged-tec instead of the t100 what are you sacrificing if anything? Is it performance on windy days or..? Also are the forged tecs more forgiving than the t100? Thanks!

[@omaoileoinb9]

V interested to see this vid Matt. Keep it up man!

[@charlesrohl7635]

Nice vid Matt ! I got fit and ordered the tec x's w/the KBS PGI R shafts. I'm about a 15-16. Can't wait to play w/them.

[@scottd9548]

Great vid. If I can get the gapping dialed in between clubs, might be a good option next season to bring back some distance for this old guy!

[@zacharymilos392]

I'm a simple lad - I see a video from Matty and I click.

[@JCSuperstarr78]

I'm looking to get new irons. My current gamers are Nicklaus VCGs from like 2000. These are on my short list was PXG 0311XPs. Once I'm ready to buy, I'll get fit for these and look at the numbers.

[@nickcassidy693]

Great video Matt. Awesome swing 👍🏼

[@LeprechaunGinger]

These new irons are beautiful!

[@spirotsilimidos8618]

Great review Matt! You were getting some monster peak heights with both models..kudos to Cobra! For those that might get scared by the strong lofted Forged Tec X, the Mizuno Pro 225 hollow body is also worth a try, 7 iron lofted at 30 degrees...Not sure if you've tried these yet, Matt? Great looking and feel!

[@terrorbyte2642]

I hit the Forged tec X markedly better than the TM Stealth irons during fitting. I was happy about it too as the forged tec X has a much more appealing look than all the other game improvement irons on the market

[@josephponsoda]

Great video Matt. Still waiting for my forged tecs to come in, should only be another week or so.

[@mguo8190]

Great review. Matt even threw a joke in there. Nice

[@blakedurham9202]

I've always been intrigued by the Forged Tec iron since I switched to Cobra RAD Speed irons last year. Would the Forged Tec iron be a bit more workable in terms of shot-shaping (draw, fade, low, high) over a traditional game improvement iron (such as the RAD Speed)?

[@oldandstiff]

Well shown Matt. Nearly identical to my results when I tested them, and even on the hit it hard ones because we all have to do that. The forged tec inspire you to do that. lol Both great looking and feeling clubs and I hope a lot of people get their hands on them because they leave and impression.

[@fredster1449]

Hi Matt can you review Pxg gen 4 tx driver and compare with the new gen 5?

[@dipsy720]

Starting to wonder if the industry should test clubs by face degrees vs club number. Would love to see the 8 iron numbers.

[@keithfinley2939]

Cobra really nosedived with the AMP cell and especially BIO cell irons... too "out there" looks wise. Now fighting for market share with some really great recent releases... these are beauties

[@adamwittman982]

Matt I would love to see you review the callaway tcb!

[@GolfQuestChannel]

Okay just as I begin watching I will say they look amazing.

[@VKBKK]

Was waiting for you to review these as thinking to get it..love it Matt 👏 ps crazy getting 140 ballspeed with the X

[@kourt2469]

Would love to see the one length version tested. Nobody bothers to test the one lengths

[@lukering1952]

Monster irons. They will be amazing for someone that needs those characteristics. Great Demo matty 👍

[@kevan4852]

Hit a forged tec last demo day. Felt and looked (at address) *very* similar to my tour mims, just way stronger lofts. Not for me because of the lofts, but I was impressed with the look/feel. Cobra doesn't get enough love for their irons.

[@deepee1544]

I've only owned two good sets of irons in my life, Cobra FP (2008) and Cobra Amp (2012). I've been happy with them but am shopping around for a new set for next season and was going to get some other than Cobra for a change...looks like I better test these though. 😃 As I'm improving a bit I'd like to get something in the players distance category.

[@zarlodious1]

Funny you said the amps bought my tiny wife a brand new in wrapper 10 year old set. Even with ladies shafts and cut down 1.5 inches I can hit them longer than my Srixon 745’s

[@deepee1544]

@@zarlodious1 Lol nice! They're still quite a good iron.

[@Reffitt2]

Great review! I'm now even more excited to hit these very soon as I'm in the hunt for a nice looking, good feeling iron. I currently have the TaylorMade M4s ('21 version) and while they are a decent game improvement iron set, they're not very workable and I prefer a smaller top line like a P790 or these ForgedTec. What do you think of the stock steel shafts that come in the regular ForgedTec irons? If I'm not mistaken they're the KBS $ Taper Lite shafts?

[@kevinarbogast9309]

You are a stud muffin for doing this review!!

[@joshuak5757]

Great review. I currently have ping g710’s with stock graphite regular flex. As a mid handicapper they mask a lot of mishits which is great but Dispersion left to right is somewhat wide. Are cavity backs more accurate than hollow body irons? I don’t want more distance. I want forgiveness on mishits along with greens hit. In addition to the cobra forged tec iron are there other irons you would recommend i try out?

[@ipotato95]

My irons launch and spin similar to forged tec x version of these, when the grass is a little wet or you have a low spin lie, it’s halfway impossible to control the distance because they come out like a low spin nasa shuttle

[@canyonaro]

Switch to a ball that spins more off the irons, like Chrome Soft X or Pro V1x.

[@Justmakesomenoiz]

Am not totally wrong but isn't a V1X meant to a less spinner ball to get some distance? If so how would that help to help to play a less spinner ball. Shouldn't like a Titleist tour be more suitable which is softer and also creates more spinn.

[@canyonaro]

@@Justmakesomenoiz Its a firm ball so it's hot of the driver for high speed swingers but it spins a ton on the irons. I'll use it if I'm playing very firm greens but it's a full half club shorter on iron shots for me since it spins so much.

[@imvincentblair8911]

So far of all the videos ive yet seen the address position. Id love to see the topline straight down

[@TMar1961]

As an aging golfer, I'm 60, I've been looking at the TEC X for yardage. Are these shafts the same length as a 'standard' lofted club?

[@GolfLiberty]

I believe they're 0.25" longer than my Titleist irons

[@michaelhudson4080]

Great review

[@Ken-wc7po]

The x tec.verson. possibly one of the most forgiving irons ?...they're definitely one of the best looking irons..

[@chroniclesofnanner9543]

These things have serious ball speed, had a guy come to the store and try them yesterday and it was night and day ball speed numbers compared to most other offerings, but they have a low spin profile compared

[@patrickpecoraro1737]

would like to hear your thoughts of the Cobra Forged Tec X vs the Cobra LTDX irons I'm looking for a new set and could use the input Thanks

[@spryguy3]

Any thoughts on why the Tec was averaging 2degrees shallower angle of attack over the tecX? and this is the kind of video i'd love to see more of Matty, bring on more club testing! (hint, hint manufacturers.... get your "Kit" to Matt!)

[@GolfLiberty]

might've been just my strike location or the lower ball speed

[@paybax]

The X is 1 degree more upright, maybe related…

[@yourpalsuper]

Matt I have a question on the one length, I play the F8 one length and have dialed in my yardages for 6 iron in but have seen distance starting to lose a few yards. My question is as a 67 year old baller is it better to keep with the one length only in the tec or move back to the variable length X for forgiveness as I age up for distance? I really like the single 7 iron setup, appreciate your view on this.

[@brianbernstein7754]

Thanks Matt...great review. Did you hit the 2022 Forged Tec and Forged Tec X w/ the stock shaft (KBS Tour Lite) or your gamer shaft? Thanks again.

[@banditbaker1675]

Two nice-looking Irons from Cobra👍 I'm tempted to try hollow-bodied Irons but I worry whether I would have the swing speed to get them launching high enough to hold Greens. Is there any chance that you could repeat the review, but at a slower swing speed???

[@GolfLiberty]

Once I get the right-handed swing a bit more consistent 👍

[@banditbaker1675]

@@GolfLiberty to make the test relevant to me your swing would need to be as inconsistent as you can make it 🤦‍♂️😢

[@ericbradner6986]

For comparison’s sake, fair to say the Forged Tec X is kind of in the P790 range of size/performance and the Forged Tec closer to like a P770?

[@GolfLiberty]

Forged Tec is between 770 and 790, the X is a bit bigger than 790

[@harleydavidson4796]

im eagerly awaiting my forge tecs to come in

[@duvall408w]

Can you give comparison on t100 top line and forgiveness compared to forge tec.Hit t100 and really like them. But havemt seen the forge tec

[@carlosimone4367]

Because the 7 is spinning more like a 5 iron but flying and landing at a very good decent angle, is there any concerns with stopping power at all with the mid to longer irons? Especially if you use a softer compression ball like a Chrome Soft or Tour Response, I would imagine another 4 to 5 hundred spin reduction from the BS X ball numbers in your test. That's my only concern. Everything else looks really really good. Maybe a reduction in loft may help with spin numbers, plenty of length even at a 1 or 1.5 loft reduction.. Also, any flyers in any shots off camera? Looked pretty consistent yardage wise which is impressive for this type of iron. Thoughts?

[@Hitchcawk]

Hey Matt, I'm looking to get into these irons just to maybe provide a little more forgiveness than the cavity backs I've currently been playing. I'm a little skeptical about the stronger lofts though.. My current set is traditionally lofted (37 deg 7 iron) and I carry that around 180 and every other club +/- 10 yards from there. I have a very fast swing speed/transition, and currently am an 11 hcp (mostly due to being not so great around/on the green). Do you think these would be a good set to move in to, or would I be hitting everything way too far most likely?

[@MetalAsFork]

Would have been nice to see your t100 6 Iron in the stats as well.

[@tomhainsworth]

Hey Matt. Love the video! Been looking forward to seeing you review these irons for the past few weeks! Would you compare the standard Forged Tec to a P770 in size and feel? Or what other club does it remind you of? Thanks!

[@GolfLiberty]

not quite as slim as a P770, but probably between than at P790

[@tomhainsworth]

@@GolfLiberty thanks Matt. Would love to see you do a comparison video with these against the competition like Taylormade & Callaway!

[@tomashehir]

Hey Matt have you reviewed irons from Takomo yet? Their 201 irons are interesting given the price. Trying to find out what club they are similar to?

[@mashedpotatoes5276]

Seems a fantastic iron!

[@aaronforrester3968]

Thank you for reviewing! I hit the forged tec tonight, crazy distance. I’m torn between forged tec and i525. Love to see a comparison. Both feel great, super hot off the face

[@jackwoods4011]

Could you please compare these with the Mizuno pro 225. Please

[@mogwix]

Cool! I have a quick swing but my striking isn't great. I'm a mid to high handicap and I'd like a little more forgiveness, without the silly distance. I find when I've tried these "players distance" or any "game improvement" irons I tend to lose my distance control, and all the clubs go 200 yds. It's a little frustrating that handicap is so closely associated with swing speed - I guess I should just slow my swing down haha

[@davidchipman7612]

Hi Matt out of all the hollow heads how do you rate the Tacoma 101s

[@SlAAnsky]

Great review ! How would you recommend mixing a set of X and the smaller forged tec ? Im thinking use the x from 6 iron and lower. loft adjustements ?

[@GolfLiberty]

Would make a nice combo, might just need to weaken the x slightly

[@mattnelson8655]

What are your swing speeds on the shots with the forged tec not x.

[@slave0102]

What are the shaft options for the Tec irons? They look very tempting.

[@GolfLiberty]

[@nickkendrick9608]

Which shaft were you using in the Forged Tec?

[@rsasso777]

Nice job Matt, I’m currently playing the first GEN Forged Tec and really like them., I’m about a 14 handicap from a forgiveness standpoint would you recommend the X or the Forged Tec?

[@GolfLiberty]

forged tec should be good for you

[@DaveFogel]

Crushing it! Impressive speed and accuracy! I will have to give them a hit. Right now I am kind of in love with the i525. have you tested those? I forget.

[@GolfLiberty]

havent tested i525's yet

[@evansnyder5948]

What would be the downside by replacing a five iron that goes 200 with a second 7 iron that goes 200?

[@mre_man]

27 degrees thats my 5 iron. Whats the point of jacking up these irons and stamping it with a diff number. Is it to sell more wedges??

[@stephenwaskiewicz5012]

Matt out of curiosity, where would you put taylormade p760 on the spectrum between your t100 and the forged tec? I play 760 and feel I’ve lost a few yards the last couple years mostly due to swing inefficiencies, but am curious if the club technology is something I should look at. Thanks!

[@GolfLiberty]

forged tec are definitely bigger and stronger lofted than P760, would offer you quite a bit more distance

[@stephenwaskiewicz5012]

@@GolfLiberty thanks Matt. Watched your video on 4 Top Swing Drills and practiced consciously starting the downswing once the chest stops, helped a lot with compression and distance. Trying to make it consistent. Like my 760s and used to hit them plenty far and working back to that. Love the channel, keep it up.

[@klaymoon1]

Amazing swing!

[@FR_AI_MUSIC]

lol, the loft of my 7iron is 32° which is already low... and now their 7 iron is the loft of my 5 iron.... Marketing is killing me... what's the length of the shaft ?

[@danielcohen3159]

Nice review, Matt! I've been waiting to see some reviews of these. The launch of these seemed to go under the radar a bit, which is odd considering how well the Forged Tec line did in the past. I'm looking for something like this in 5 and 6 iron to complement my PXG 0211 ST blades in 7-PW. I'll give them a hit when I can. Keep up the good work, man!
