The Skinny Aerojet irons can be used to improve your game with their unique internal weighting system. They have a face and face that are designed to increase launch angle and create greater distance.
The Deep Dive Cobra has several iron options available for players who place a premium in hitting draws and fades, and working the ball around the course. These include the King Tour and better-player distance offerings such as King Forged TEC. Golfers who lack consistency and generate little power need game-improvement tools. Cobra’s Aerojet One Length and Aerojet One Length irons are for them. They put a premium upon speed and forgiveness.

Aerojet irons are a medium-thin, flat-topped design that can be used in the address position. They also have a slight offset and give off a game-improvement appearance. Cobra believes that a new internal weighting system will make a big difference in performance.

Two small posts have been added to the Aerojet iron’s head that reach forward towards the face by designers. A 70-gram weight of steel is held behind the hitting area by the posts. It runs from the heel down to the toe. Cobra calls this PWR Bridge. According to Cobra, the weight helps to lower the center of gravity (CG), which encourages a more powerful shot. The weight doesn’t touch the club’s sole or hitting area, so it doesn’t stop the face from flexing during impact.

This is because Aerojet irons were given a PWRShell insert by Cobra’s engineers that uses artificial intelligence. Engineers divided the hitting area into 15 areas and instructed computers to simulate shots to create the most effective combination of thick and narrow areas to maximize distance. The L-shaped face of the PWRShell wraps around the club’s leading edge. This allows it to flex more efficiently when hitting low-struck shots. Cobra claims that the Aerojet irons’ face deflects 10 per cent more than last season’s LTDx irons. This results in approximately 2 mph faster ball speed and consistent spin rates, as well as a distance of 3.5 to 4 meters.
The PWR Bridge weight, and the PWRShell face work together to assist golfers in generating more ball speed, protecting ball speed from mis-hits, and creating shots that fly higher, land softer, and have better distance control.
Cobra injects a plastic to improve sound and feel around the PWR Bridge. This absorbs excessive vibrations.

Aerojet irons, like many modern game-improvement clubs have high lofts. The 5-iron has 20.5 degrees and the pitching wedge 41.5 degrees. Because the CG is so low, the shots pass through the windows golfers expect. They just reach their peak height further downrange.
Cobra also offers the Aerojet in a One Length variant. The One Length Aerojet clubs include all the technology found in the standard Aerojet, but they measure 37.25 inches in length, which is about the same length as a 7-iron. Cobra says that One Length irons are a great tool for golfers who want to increase their consistency. They make a better contract and require only one type of swing.
