Bought both, as the Wilson CB's had a frustrating delivery situation. Both came on the same day. Cobra MIM's won for me in the battle of both. Prefer the thinner top line and lie angle. Can't go wrong with either though.
I just purchased a set of 2021 Wilson Staff Model CB’s from 2nd Swing. I was concerned that going to traditionally lofted irons (7 iron 34 degrees) that I would lose significant distance. However, these clubs have the Aerotech i95 steel reenforced shafts. My 7 iron swing speed is 81-82 mph, but I have lost no distance at all. In fact, when I hit these clubs with the sweet spot, I have gained a little distance. I did have 2nd Swing strengthen the lofts by 1 degree, as well as customize the clubs to my specs. I love these clubs!
One thing I want to see in your club comparison videos: which of the clubs would Thomas game if he had to choose one, and why? Give us a sense of what criteria would go into choosing one over the others, not just how they are different and similar.
Why Don't you guys show top view of them altogether ? Can't understand that . Would be so helpful. How can you have a comparison of three clubs and not show that. That is the most important thing when doing a comparison. Blows my mind.
Great video. Currently playing Z785 Srixon Irons. Fantastic irons though low spinner.Since my Handicap Index has dropped to 4.8 from 9.3 within the last 12 months with the Srixons, i feel it's time to go for accuracy and consistency than distance. That will be with a full set of mmc 20.
@@2ndswing Wilson needs a stronger loft version. I’m looking for a new set of irons in the next year. Want a great forged feeling iron. I don’t want to lose distance but I don’t love the sole on the srixon.
@@ryang1910 what do you mean lose distance? Lose perceived distance loss because of the lofts? Whether you hit a 7 180 or 200.. it comes down to the loft you’re playing, all things constant. I don’t understand kranking the lofts..
@@LifeLover2020 it doesn’t come down to that. It comes down to optimizing. Bryson plays a 10 degree 3 wood. It isn’t so he hits it further. It is to control spin and launch. Otherwise the ball wouldn’t do that. I like stronger lofted clubs. Mentally they make me feel better. Right now I’m playing a set closer to traditional. I don’t like it. I could afford to do it, because of jump in ball speed.
@@ryang1910 Bryson is an example of optimizing at the extremes. I would view him as an outlier. It sounds like you’re optimizing for the mental game. You will get higher ball speeds because the lofts are stronger. It may also be because you are playing an iron that’s more forgiving. What set are you currently playing? Do you have a Ghinn handicap?
I have the srixon z585 Thomas and play off 6. I'm 50 yrs old and need a touch of distance and forgivness so which set would you say would fit me obviously i will test them but just wanting your thoughts
Id like to try a set of irons in this category, up till now Ive only ever played game improvement irons from Mizuno. My golf swing has come a long way over the last couple of years. I’m not overly concerned with distance. I’m wondering if a set of the Cobra King Tour’s would help me tighten up my dispersion vs playing game improvement irons.
@@2ndswing my pleasure. I like the way you guys come across in the video. Straight forward and well presented data. Look forward to watching future videos. ⛳️👍🏻😃🏴
I agree but I think they did it this way so that people who go out and buy clubs in a stock configuration would know what they're up against. Not everyone is going to spend the time/money to have them bent to a specific loft.
It depends on how much height the player can get. If you have only 5500rpm and its coming in low at a landing angle under 40* the ball won't stop as fast but 45*-50* would be just fine. - Thomas
Little club repair info. Watch when working on the irons with weights hosel/toe. They are most likely epoxied in. Heat will loosen this epoxy causing a rattle. Most will not be warrantied
from these numbers (dec. ang. spin) the data gives 5,6 and 9 yds of roll-out for the 3 irons, how much roll-out would that be on a real course, lets say a medium green, not super firm or soft?
@MeandMyStaffy lmfao straight from Japan. But I will say the Wilson’s have incredible feel. The srixons wee also nice but testing stock versions the DG on the Wilson is better than the nippon in the Srixon
Thomas is as machine! Thanks and keep up the great content!
Thank you for watching Rob!
Just order the Wilson CB's today. Hit every players iron and kept coming back to the wilson set in a regular flex shaft.
They're great irons!!
I agree Dennis, I keep coming back to Wilson also.
Those Cobra irons have performed well for Thomas in every test he's put them in. Very consistent performance. I have a set of the CBs on order.
The MIM tour is very impressive! Congrats on your new set!!! Thank you for watching!

How do you rate the MIM tour against the JPX 921 tour? I have a set of JPX already but I’m trialing a set of MIM copper. I’m very excited to hit them.
@@jeffmattoxjr.4136 Never tried the JPX 921 tour, but they look fantastic. Let me know how they compare. Thanks!

Thank you for this vid! The Wilson cb is surprisingly good! I'd absolutely game a set. But between it and the zx7 I chose the srixon.
These are the 3 irons I would test if in the market this year.
Excellent! Thank you for watching!
Cobra irons are underrated.
They are remarkable irons! Thank you for watching!

Great comparison. What do you think is the HCP range on the Cobra’s?
As well as Thomas hits that King Tour (on every video) I’m not sure why he doesn’t have them in the bag!
They are very impressive! Thank you for watching!
I tried the srizon a month ago and I noticed it had a right bias. That works for me because I have a heavy draw.
Glad you found something that fits you well! That is awesome. Thank you for watching!

Enjoyed this test. Probably could play any of these but slight edge to 🐍

I was looking for this very comparison! Thanks fellas!
The Wilson CB’s and Cobra King Tours are gorgeous. Not a fan of the long blade length of the Srixon, or the lower loft & spin
Thank you for watching!
What shaft is Thomas using… is it stiff or regular… AMT Black, Gold…??
Thank you

@@stuartjames1971 Which ones did you go for?
@@columkenn neither. Gone with Taylormade P770’s ⛳️😃⛳️
Has Thomas had a bad session ever with those Tour Mim? They always seem to stand out in consistency
I hit them yesterday and was blown away! Was the last ones I hit almost on accident and woah! Sold.
Ended up getting them and they are amazing!!!
Have you thought about bending so all are the same loft and lie to see individual club performance compared?
I agree but I think they did it this way so that people who go out and buy clubs in a stock configuration would know what they're up against. Not everyone is going to spend the time/money to have them bent to a specific loft.
@@xxthadeucexx yup, I get that, just suggesting an idea for another video. 👍
For it spinning under 6,000 how much does decent angle high enough to hold the green? Thx great video I enjoyed all 2nd swing videos

Why not weaken the Srixon and strengthen the Wilson so they’re all 33 degrees?? Would be a better comparison I think 🤔
I want to compare a F1 car to a Toyota corolla so could we ju remove 5 cylinders from the F1:car so we could get a fair comparison. Daa
@@MrQboTnot nearly the same thing, not as clever as you think you are, duh!

Dim the lights, his head must be on 🔥
Not the same loft!!!!! How to compare ???
300 rpm per degree? It that the rule of thumb?
Thanks for watching! Generally, yes, that is the rule Thomas uses
Dispersion was down to the point of contact surely
Good stuff, thanks.
Thank you for watching!
3 deg difference in loft, what a shock, the lower goes further...
Going for the mp20 MMC . Should fit nice. Sorry not fitted with you as i am at the other side of the atlantic
Thank you for watching! We are glad you found the right fit for your game! Enjoy your new set!
sold my tour mims for d9 forged. much more forgiving, better feel, look similar...
Thanks for the feedback - Thomas
thx, great video
Thanks for watching - Thomas
Wills on for me
Thanks guys. Those are not for me.
Thank you for watching!
Love my Z785s....and wouldnt buy chinese wilsons...
@MeandMyStaffy lmfao straight from Japan. But I will say the Wilson’s have incredible feel. The srixons wee also nice but testing stock versions the DG on the Wilson is better than the nippon in the Srixon
uhhh wilsons are made in tennessee man.
