Its a good looking club.
First Look: Cobra KING Utility Iron
Very nice! Not for me at the moment, but certainly a possible add in future.
2 Utility: 16-20 degrees (RH Only)
3 Utility: 18-21 degrees (RH or LH)
4 Utility: 21-24 degrees (RH or LH)
So my question is if you adjust the loft does the face angle change like in some drivers? That would be a non-starter for me. Otherwise looks great.

the line is kinda blurring these days, but this seems more hybrid than utility iron.

You will never conquer golf.
Other than the adjustability, what makes this different from all the other utility/driving irons out there? I am guessing the quick removable and adjustable shaft is the main difference.

Can you expand on that?

Cobra did a great job of making these look great and blending in with the Forged Tec irons. However I don't see anything there that I don't get with a SZ 4i that would make me want to switch with the exception of adjustability which I don't think is necessary

Oh no, it’s all utility iron.
The idea of adjustability is really cool for an iron and that's definitely a selling point for someone like me. I'd also like to know if adjusting the loft would open/close the face like on some drivers.
Based on two pictures, it looks huge and the adjustability thing. Obviously less data to go on that someone who has tested it for months.
How is it size-wise compared to other utilities you have laying around?

Good looking utility iron. Just recently started looking at and thinking about adding that segment of club to my bag and was surprised, pleasantly I must say, that adjustability existed in these.
Since the FT 4i is pretty long , id go with a 2i at 18* and take away the 5w
I quite like the looks of those, appears to have a simlar look at address as my Srixon ZU85 based on the pics in the thread
When we are allowed to get a round in down here, you can try my Srixon and see how easy they are to hit - you might be surprised

Definitely, that would be great. Do you normally use it off the tee or the fairway?
At my home course, it is mainly a tee club for a number of holes where driver or 3W can put you in trouble, but I have used it off the fairway and also for the low punch shot between/under trees when I have been out of position
Shaft in it is the Recoil 95 F4 - only potential problem could be it is 1" long and 2 up due to me being a tall git lol

Ah, now I could use it fur punching out from under trees, I practice that shot on the course frequently 
Like the thoughts of a low stinger type shot off the tee though, that would be good fun to try. An inch long and 2 up could get me in trouble though, I'm standard length and 1 flat - Can only imagine how far left I would end up!

Just aim a bit right and then slice itAh, now I could use it fur punching out from under trees, I practice that shot on the course frequently
It could be a good replacement for a certain club that shall remain unnamed.:quiet:
I am exploring that angle

Now that I can do without even thinking about itJust aim a bit right and then slice it
ive never hit a utility iron, im curious about the differences between a utility and hybrid in regards to hitting ability/playability/forgivenss from the rough.
Everyone is different, but for me, hybrids just spun too much for what I was looking for at the particular spot in my bag, whereas the utility iron gave me the numbers that gapped well between my 3W and 4i
