Cobra forged tec Vs Srixon ZX5/7

[Floki]

Hello! I'm about to reshaft my forged tec since I don't like the shafts that came with it ($taper lite stiff)..I'm getting modus 105S, since i like the feel of the105R that my mizuno hot metals had, but with a SS of about 85mph with 7i, i think stiff is ok. Question: Have anyone tried both forged tec and the srixons, and what's your opinion? I mean i was planning to just change shafts on the cobras, but i don't love them by any means its just what i got, and the srixons (even tho i never tried) "feels" like the irons that ment for me lol..if that makes sence I'm a 11.2 atm shooting low 80s..thanks N

Nope, but have the srixon zx5/zx7 combo and they are brilliant irons!

@Floki - I have the zx5 with Nippon gs850s shafts with a swing speed similar to yours with a 7i. There are times that the 85g stiff feels dead on off days so very surprised that you’re looking at 105s with that SS. Have you been fitted or had your specs checked.

Also, I did have a few rounds last year with the cobra tec in regular and if I’m being realistic I’d say that they suited my swing speed better.

Srixons...great if you're a digger and take reasonable sized divots..
If your swing is shallow it's essential to try them on turf before you buy.
The V sole takes few prisoners with a shallow swing.

Tnx for reply! no not fitted, but the regulars are super smooth but a little to mushy and light (103g). Stiff is only 106 grams, and ppl with ss in high 80s are even fitted for X in these shafts.. Not that I base my decision from them, I just think S will be perfect..Worst case i can still use my 105R, because the S tapers are going Out! I can still launch the stapers, just.dont feel the load in the backswing and they feel pretty boardy all the way thru, not like modus105 with that flexible middlepart
