The Cobra 6 iron would be longer than yours. Of course it would, the loft was the same as your 5 iron. But they did not mention that fact and of course you thought "Wow I gotta have these twigs, they are a club longer than my current irons" The plan worked and all the other OEM's had to follow suit.
One thing I know for sure, I would never have one of those chipping irons in my bag. One dimensional club, useless for any other shots.
Thanks for that info, my irons prob are about 10 yrs old i was starting to think about getting some nice new shiny one. I know eveyone will have a different opion on this but what would you all suggest for a new set and why? thanks again
