Cobra have worked out a way to make the hot area of the thin fast faces in the 4\u20137 irons 23% larger. It means shots launch a little higher but the loss of ball speed and carry distance on off-centre hits is minimal.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED:\u00a0<a title=\"Callaway Rogue ST Irons\" href=\"https:\/\/www.todays-golfer.com\/equipment\/golf-clubs\/irons\/callaway\/rogue-st\/rogue-st\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Callaway\u2019s new Rogue ST irons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a Cobra iron fan but have found the carbon fibre insert on the topline of the previous <a title=\"Radspeed irons\" href=\"https:\/\/www.todays-golfer.com\/equipment\/golf-clubs\/irons\/cobra\/king\/radspeed\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">RadSpeed<\/a> and Speedzone irons distracting, you\u2019ll be pleased to hear the LTDx has not only got a sleeker top edge it\u2019s also a completely carbon fibre free zone too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Cobra's new LTDx iron.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/cobra-ltdx-irons-6.jpg\" alt=\"Cobra's new LTDx iron.\" width=\"876\" height=\"584\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The presence of Arccos shot-tracking sensors in Cobra clubs has been a big attraction for many since their introduction in the <a title=\"Cobra F8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.todays-golfer.com\/equipment\/golf-clubs\/irons\/cobra\/king\/cobra-king-f8-irons\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">F8 range<\/a> but, thanks to Covid creating a global shortage of electronic chips, they won\u2019t come as standard in any of the Cobra LTDx equipment for 2022.
