Your 7-iron will fly further than your old one, and two things follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your wedge gapping needs rechecking, because a strong pitching wedge opens a hole beneath it. And the long irons get harder to launch, which is why so many sets in this tier sensibly start at 5-iron with a hybrid above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>The step most golfers should take\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Down, not up. This is true of every brand, but Cobra’s pricing makes the better-player models unusually accessible, which pulls buyers upward for the wrong reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 3DP Tour set being affordable does not make it suitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Comparing models without relying on memory\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Demo days are the right place to compare irons and the wrong place to trust your impressions. Six clubs in an hour produces one lasting memory, usually formed by a single well-struck shot rather than by the average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FocusGolf records the session rather than summarising it. Nothing gets attached to the club — the watch picks up each swing on its own and logs distance, speed and consistency as you go, keeping every session on file. Comparing 3DP X against KING Tec X on recorded numbers separates them far more reliably than comparing them on how your best 7-iron felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cblockquote>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Buying tip:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Choose your iron on dispersion, not peak distance.
