Cobra
Aerojet
The Cobra Aerojet is a game improvement iron released in 2023, designed for mid to high handicappers (typically 12–24 HCP) who benefit from a larger clubhead, wide sole, and high MOI design that reduces the penalty on mis-hits and promotes a higher, easier launch. The 2023 model's 7-iron is lofted at 27°, reflecting the brand's focus on maximising distance through aggressive loft specifications.

Technology
About the Cobra Aerojet
The Cobra Aerojet features a wide sole, deep undercut cavity, and high-MOI design that keeps ball speed consistent across the face. The low, deep CG promotes a high launch angle that helps the ball stop on greens. At impact it delivers solid and consistent — designed to feel similar whether you catch it slightly thin or slightly fat.
Loft Analysis
The Cobra Aerojet's 7-iron is lofted at 27° — strong — notably stronger than the traditional 32–34° standard. For a golfer with an 85–95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 161–171 yards. The 5-iron (19°) to 7-iron gap of 8° is spread across a wide range, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 41° is relatively strong — consider a gap wedge of 46–48° to bridge the distance to your sand wedge.

- ✓Golfers who benefit from a higher launch and softer landing on approach shots
- ✓Players who tend to miss thin and need help getting the ball airborne
- ✓Golfers whose current 7-iron carry is 160+ yards and want matching distance
