Complementing the Air-X metalwoods that were announced at the same time, the hybrids and irons of the family are super lightweight to promote faster swing speeds which produces more distance and more spin for shot control. Plus, since slicing is often a problem for less accomplished players that Cobra has targeted to play these clubs, Air-X hybrids and irons have a significant amount of hosel offset with weighting towards the heel. Both features tend to correct the dreaded left to right ball flight of a slice.
As they have done previously Cobra has put the Air-X family clubs together in package sets. For women a cart bag, 15° Driver, 3W, 5W, 5H, 6i-PW, SW and mallet putter are in the set and for men a cart bag, 11.5° driver, 3W, 4H, 5H, 6i-PW, SW and a blade putter. Either is priced at $1,499 a considerable savings compared to purchasing the clubs individually and more good news, the sets are the same price as the 2021 Air-X.
