Cobra Golf has unveiled two new sets of high-performance irons which will compliment the successful Cobra SZ irons, launched earlier in the year and provide a stepping stone to the Cobra Pro CB and Pro MB irons used by Tour professionals.

The St.Ives-based manufacturer describes the Cobra S2 iron (£499 with steel shafts and £599 with graphite) as 'game-enhancing with superior accuracy and distance in a forgiving mid-width sole design.'

The new Cobra S2 Forged irons (£749 with steel shafts and for right-handers only) claim to offer 'the unique combination of control, distance and forgiveness with outstanding forged feel.'

Both sets of irons - will be available from October 1.

The Cobra S2 Irons will be available as a stock set of 5-iron to pitching wedge (with Seniors and Women's graphite options) and will feature stainless steel heads with a distinctive black polymer insert visible along the top line and in the toe. An expanded urethane sole insert and aluminum back plate combine to reduce vibration, improve trajectory and enhance feel, say Cobra.

The mixture of cavity design, stepped sole and lightweight Nippon NS Pro 1030H steel or Cobra/Aldila DVS-2 graphite shafts will also help control and accuracy.

Though both Cobra S2 and Cobra S2 forged irons are aimed at a target golfer with a handicap of 6+, the Cobra S2 Forged irons with their Tour-inspired shape will be particularly appreciated by skilled players looking to work the ball and squeeze a little more distance out of it.

The Forged 1025 carbon steel heads claim to deliver a 'soft yet powerful ' feel with the CNC Milled grooves 'promoting consistent trajectories and spin'. Cobra/Nippon NS Pro 1130 Tour shafts are fitted as standard in the 3-iron to PW S2 forged sets.

“The new Cobra S2 irons provide incredible all-around performance,” says Brian Zender, general manager of Cobra Golf. “We’ve built on our heritage of offering technologically advanced, game-enhancing clubs with exceptional value.

"Golfers of all abilities will be drawn to the Cobra S2 Irons for their accuracy, distance, forgiveness and sleek, confidence-inspiring profile. While the Cobra S2 Forged irons will attract better players seeking superior control, distance and feel in a Tour-preferred shape.”
