Last time i came to costco and bought some golf clubs the video went crazy so guess what i'm back i'm gonna go in costco we'll see what i can find normally do some golf gear seen them do the callaway edge clubs in the past reviewed them kirkland wedges kirkland balls what else is there let's go have a quick scour. And it's not a paid ad you'll see me spending my hard earned money and let's see what is available in costco let's buy it let's review it okay golf section costco there's these that have caught my eye cobra xl speed ten piece complete set driver three wood hybrid six iron down to picture wave sandwich play putter 480 pound let's give these a test last thing i've actually spotted it's a new ball. So you've seen on my channel before i've tested these ones link up there in the corner and actually thought they were pretty good. But on closer inspection these are version two of the same ball let's buy them i might do these in another video coming soon. But let's pick these up as well and just like that i'm at the golf course cobra xl speed uh it doesn't come with a bag so i've brought my empty golf bag to load this up let's unbox it see what's inside what's interesting there is literally no information on the box at all by what clubs you actually get. So this is gonna be a bit of a mystery. And then.
To be honest i'm just going to go. And play a bit of golf maybe nine holes it's a tough day because it's pretty windy let's see what these clubs can do will i shoot under par level par i'll go completely wrong i'm going to shoot way over par first off let's see what's in this set. And just like that we've got cyclops initial looks is not terrible like they actually look better in real life than do in the box we've got a six iron seven iron eight nine nine iron pitching wedge sand wedge we've got a putter which i must admit on first inspection looks like the best club in the bag. So far really nice quality head cover like check that out that is padded. And it's furry actually one of the nicest cobra putters i've seen a bit of a milling on the face with a nice little thick lampkin grip as well big fan of that and then.
We've got a 23 degree hybrid so that's like a five iron effectively this is a 15 degree three wood again better looking in real life than in the box that's actually quite a cool little feature kind of these stripes on top. For alignment and then.
Lastly the driver the big stick what we're gonna see under here 10.5 degrees again not the worst looking head in the world huge face and actually kind of those go faster stripes on top which again i'm a fan of first impressions impressive a couple of downsides you can only get them in regular. So these are going to be a little bit soft. For me obviously and you could have maybe come down with one more lofty club pasta sandwich maybe a lob wedge wouldn't be a bad addition to this set but that's you know that in the bag that's not a bad set of clubs so let's go nine holes here at the marriott i was just filming some close-ups then.
It's two things i've spotted number one the driver the paintwork on this driver just overlaps the face now. For a lot of people they might not see that as big concern but who are going to likely buy these clubs is maybe a higher handicapper who might not always hit the middle of the face. And might sometimes hit the crown of the club with the ball so in this video i think we need to do a sky test just to see if there's much paint that might chip off if we hit a bad one. And another thing i've noticed as much i absolutely love so many elements of this putter is something i've picked up on the grip isn't on straight when you hold the grip straight the face sits about maybe three to four degrees open. So the problem with that if i hold this dead straight the grip that face might cause me to miss shots to the right when i'm putting either way let's see what i can do i'd reckon my chances are shooting close to level par. For nine holes on a wet windy day here in manchester straight out the block straight down the middle of the fairway i'll be honest with you i did not see that coming nothing about that club. For some reason filled me with confidence then.
Whether it was the loft. Or the softer shaft however. i've managed to nail one down the fairway 140 eight iron second shot into the first that is mr green to the right again not very good that one after such a bloody good drive that is a very disappointing bogey second tee shot with that driver pretty good result again it almost like headed towards the green would have been a bit downwind. But i don't think it's got there been near the front anyway hello hello that was a bit nice okay come on. For birdie go back to level par very nice i think i'm the best driver on the planet at the moment okay second shot to the hardest hole in the golf course into win now 180 yards i could do with a four iron really. But i don't have one because i've got a five hybrid or a three wood you have to go soft little 3 wood oh it's a bullet it is a bullet be good oh it's on back edge of the green you know what honestly. So far so good go oh that is such a terrible put the one thing as much as i'm a fan of this putter it looks wise it's very very light in the head that's a really annoying bogey tiny bit left [Music] ah me twittem four holes done one over par i'm enjoying the club. So far there's not a lot of things that i've found that i've not enjoyed but i like i said just the weight of this putter head [Music] i thought i was gonna fall to the right didn't apart [Music] okay you know what i'm feeling confident. And i'm hitting drivers pretty well probably the best i've ever hit at the moment i'm 260 yards away into wind drivers coming out off the deck i can pull this off it'd be pretty amazing it's not bad get up there go go oh my friggin lord that's ridiculous oh my goodness what a shot look at this front edge you know what it's a little chance. For eagle now that would be a turn up for the box [Music] ah [Laughter] all that hype and i've knocked it five foot past absolute idiot seventh hole par three seven iron in hand it's an inviting pin position that's a terrible golf shot it's got to travel or it could be wet no i got that wrong that's gone through the back of the green [Music] get up there get up [Music] oh [Music] last hole path three six iron in hand come on make one more birdie try. And get back to level par that's gonna have to travel get up there oh it's bloody amazing look at that for a final shot into this ninth green right before i'm not that in for birdie let me talk about these golf clubs born from costco for a set that's in a package that's from a major brand cobra they have impressed me today.
Things to call out driver very good it has been i've hit most fairways it seems fairly forgiving doesn't seem really short either it's not perfect. For me 10.5 degree regular but it still works that comes into a little bit of a downside obviously you can't get custom fit for these clubs but you can't for a lot of package sets woods again really good three wood was good i hit some nice shots with that. And then.
The irons as a overall rule they've been good i think they're a bit stronger lofted. So they might go a bit further than what maybe i expect but even a shot like that that was a shot into the last hole there 182 yards i think it was hit six iron which is about what i'd normally hit. And even then.
I've hit from that way it's landed there pulled up got this put for birdie and i didn't hit it brilliantly well a couple other things to consider as potential downsides doesn't come with a bag so obviously you're gonna have to go out and fork out for a bag but sometimes in package sets a bag doesn't always fit everybody's liking sometimes they might want a carry bag and it doesn't come with one it comes with a trolley bag and vice versa overall i'm impressed with these clubs they do look very good. And they've performed well however. you heard me mention before on the first tee i've got two concerns the first one is definitely the putter grip it just is not on straight. And it might be no coincidence that i've not hold anything today.
What's crazy is on the outside i love everything about this putter i love the look of it the feel of the grip i love the head cover it's a little bit light in weight. But that open face definitely doesn't fill me with confidence and the other thing as i mentioned on the first tee the driver as much as it's been good i was somewhat concerned that the paint almost overlapped the look the face a little bit. And if you miss strike it sky it is that gonna damage the club well i've done that test i've hit about five. Or six shots really badly skied off the top of the head and as much as you see some ball mark on there the paint has not chipped off and that's a real positive for this set right to finish this off birdie to get to level par i really really want to hold this come on one good put it's the grip's fault it's the bloody grip guys thanks for watching hopefully you've enjoyed the video like and subscribe we shall see you next.
Time.
