It’s official the shafts changes are done. The Recoil Darts are staying in the FTX.
I remember early on before even getting these reading thoughts from @Tenputt a guys who’s opinion I respect and honestly his thoughts helped nudge me in this direction, otherwise I may have just went with the standard FT. He was gushing over these and I thought if he can play them certainly I can.
I have found them fun to hit at times, I mean who wouldn’t enjoy hitting 190 yd 7irons haha but I wouldn’t say these have been a game changer for me. I have struggled with hitting greens more than ever before if I’m being honest and now having some data to look at I can see it. I tried to convince myself that I didn’t need to work the ball just hit it straight and take the forgiveness that comes with a set like this. Unfortunately what has happened is I have been missing left at at astounding rate.
The good news for Cobra is that really is what the club is supposed to do! The ball goes far, it’s forgiving on mishits and the offset and lie angles help those who miss right straighten that out, however for a player like myself who doesn’t need that help it became a bit of an issue.
I have been determined to get these to work for me though and after a recent and final shaft change I am really close to finding that. It’s amazing really that the right shaft can make that much difference but for me in my short time it feels like a game changer. That sound you hear when you make good contact is addicting and as well all know part of that sound is feel. I might make a slight lie adjustment to go a little flatter but then I think that will be it, I’ll be rocking these at the Morgan Cup in just 6 weeks!
