I subscribe to MWJ's devotion to Cobra since I acquired a Cobra Baffler Senior last Autumn. This suits my geriatric swing perfectly and I have been scratching around for other clubs to match this 23 degree Number 3. Today I received delivery of a 29 degree number 5 bought off eBay. Hopefully my weak 5i shots will improve and I am itching to get on the course tomorrow. Wish me luck. :D

Stopped reading at this point :D

Seriously, good luck with it.

23 degrees seems awfully high for a 3 iron. The variations out there now from manufacturers gets a little confusing. The loft on my 3 hybrid is 19 degrees.

Yes but the senior version of the Cobra Baffler DWS uses a higher loft than the regular version. Suits this venerable 74yr old. It certainly gets the ball in the air.

Its not all bassed on the loft . because rescue clubs have a longer shaft they can push the loft higher for a higher ball flight but all manufacturers are different. My ping 16 deg G5 is a 2 iron on the ping site yet the G10 18deg is a 2 iron...

Just back from the range. The No 5 did just as I expected. Same distance as the 5i but easier to use and with a higher trajectory.

I too have a 20 degree DWS Baffler and it is the worst club in my bag. can't hit it for love nor money :( Tried moving ball position, set up swing path etc etc... all no good.
I'm sure it's not the club just the fool swinging it. Never mind, i'll stick it on ebay and watse the money on something else :D.

Good luck mate.

Hope you strike it with plenty of venom and it proves to be the antidote to your game and tips the scales in your favour ;)

Taxi for BillyG / Madandra & RealgolferUK please!

I have the 20 degree 3 iron replacement and love it. Really is a go to club if I am under pressure. Thats part of reason I was so disappointed I couldn't get on with L4V, really was expecting to love it.
