Cobra Speedzone ONE LENGTH Hybrid! 

I don’t normally play one length but I’ve literally just bought this hybrid to get me out of trouble. Still gives me the distance but far easier to hit a shorter club. Its a no brainier

So I decided to throw a One Length hybrid in my bag this year as a bit of an experiment, in place of my 5 iron. I got the F8 on sale. I don't play any other one length clubs. It's... phenomenal. It's ridiculously easy to hit. It looks like a junior club, but it just flies. Gets up, gets down, stops, workable. It's like cheating. Also, around the greens it's like carrying am extra club. So good for hybrid bump and runs with the shorter length. I'm sold!

The actual head weight on the one length is different to the standard to optimise the ball flight and carry . That’s how they use same 12g extra head weight if that makes sense

I’m going to try some ‘one’ length clubs and see how or if it changes my performance on the sim. Right now i can believe as a 16 Hcp moving to ‘one’ length from 6iron through to hybrid could be the way forward. Below 7 i think progressively getting shorter is going to stay.

I've just bought the F9 one length. Performs really well. Much easier to hit than my old f8 one length. New one length hybrid looks the biz. I wanted consistency in my game and I believe playing one length irons has done that.

I play a set of F8 one length irons with a 3 Hybrid, a great club and sooooo forgiving. Dropped from 28 to 20 since changing in Jan 20.

18 handicap, have an old TM R7 19* hybrid which I call my magic wand. Then, played the TM M6 4 hybrid (borrowed set on holiday) & was blown away, so thought of buying the M6 3 & 4. Now rethinking that, thanks very much 🤔

Must say they both look stunning! Would be interested to see them on the course with the OL keeping the ball beneath the wind more ⛳👍

Great vlog James! Would be curious to see how you got on with the one lengths around the course, hybrid and irons!

I game a M2 #4 hybrid. When I need to hit something........it gets the nod. So easy to hit. As far as length goes..........simple, the length should match your height and swing style. I am not a fan of the rails on the bottom. Just something else to get in the way. I am going to rework all of my woods/metals..........I could easily end up with 2 hybrids. Great clubs. All of your testing is great to see. I am making a list of those clubs I want to hit in the cage to compare against. Thanks for all you do.

I love my One Length Cobra irons and have thought about replacing my hybrid. I would love to try them. A few yards I can deal with for the straighter hits!

Been playing this hybrid for about a year and I still love pulling it out the bag to hit from any lie

i play one length F9 set, and really love it. I don't struggle with regular lengths, though i did hear or read to expect a loss in distance. I don't however have any distance problems, so for me, one length is perfect :) The baffler rails are cool and i think they can definately help avoid mis hits or duff shots. not a fan of the red added into the one length, the logo is really crisp. Definately agree on the carbon breaking, the finish doesn't last long. i don't like the gloss finish.

I just went t to golf galaxy and tested one out. 3 hybrid one length. I’m high handicap golfer. club speed 88 mph ball speed 133. Smash fact 1.5. Launch 17.3. Spin 2099 carry 118.4 total 243.2 Thing Is a beast!

Nice review mate. Rarely any club snobbery or ego in your reviews. I wasn't sold on the one length idea for hybrids after other reviewers... until I saw your video. Glad I pulled the trigger - sorted me right out, from the tee and 200 yards out or in the rough. Changed my game! 👍 Cheers!

I watched this video last year, it came up on my feed again today, so I watched it again A couple of years ago when I started playing golf again, after having not played for years, one of the first clubs that I got was a Cobra F8 one length hybrid at 19 degrees, I enjoyed using the club and I was hitting it about 150 metres, however I found that when I updated my irons to a set of Srixon Z585s that I hit the 5 iron (24 degrees) of that set about the same distance, the 5 iron is about an inch longer than the hybrid and about 5 degrees higher in loft, I found it interesting that with those differences I hit both clubs the same distance, it was not what I expected though

Great video, would love to see you play them on the course. I do think one length hybrids would really help a high handicap golfer like myself

What was the Decent Angle? When Mark Crossfield (who WAS able to get his hands on one) tested them, his opinion was that the one-length was going to be harder to stop on the green, since the peak height was much lower than the standard model, and decent angle was flatter. Taking it out onto the course to check this is a MUST. 😉

Great to have you back home in Blighty 👍, I would love to see you try these out on the course

Bottom line is to consider the SL hybrids as an iron replacement, not a rescue club / fairway wood . The trajectory is in between a iron and hybrid and slightly less distance ( 5-10 m for me) . However when it comes to hitting greens, shaping shots, bump and run from difficult lies and chipping from just off the green, these SL hybrids are great. The trick is to play the ball in the middle of your stance and hit down with them, not sweep the ball off the deck, as with longer shafted hybrids. If you sweep you will get a very low penetrating fade ball flight ( can be useful in wind). I tried them for 6 months ( 19, 22,25 degree) and found at my swing speed ( 90 mph Driver) the carry distance between the 22 and 19 was about the same, but in winter I wasn't getting the roll out with the 19 to make it worth carrying both. The 25 was pretty reliable distance wise. In the end I kept the F9 19 degree because I used it so much for punch shots. It is also useful off the tee into wind. It is my go to club for poor lies, ball above/ below feet.

I've got the f8 1 length 4 hybrid. Always had a love hate relationship with hybrids but the 1 length is much easier to hit.. Takes a bit of getting used to. Maybe loose a little bit of distance but much more consistent. It's also much more versatile little punch out of trees to chips around the green.. Great club give it a go.. Quality wise it's fine and no paint issues

Nice review hit my one length 5 iron and got my first hole in one! I struggle with the length of the lower loft irons so I’m a convert.

I like both. Personally I it easier for me to sweep and get the standard length out there. I tend to get a bit steeper with the one length. Off the fairway or into greens I liked it. I could hit it up and get it to stop no problem. I will stay with standard because it fit my gap better. Still a good club tho.

I use a 27 degree hybrid lofted up to 26 degrees as my 210 yard club. Basically the same as this club and it makes life so much easier.

Let’s see the whole one length bag review. I’ve been very interested in the one length. Although I’ve never been fitted, I have extended my 7-lob wedge in my last 3 sets. I entail your content. Cheers from the US.

Good time to head home, has been over 40 celsius the last couple of days in Perth. Always thought the one length hybrids would play a club shorter which is pretty much what your test showed.

Got One Length irons and love them, went for a One Length Hybrid and didn’t like it so swapped it for a standard length. Much happier with my set up now.

Great video! I’d like to see cobra do a Tri-length set of clubs. 4-6 in same length 7-9 in same length then pw,gw & sw in another length. Only because I’ve played with guys who have them and their wedges just go way too high especially into the wind and the extra club speed needed in the longer irons isn’t always easy to get with the shorter shaft if you’re having an off day. But I do love the concept and the idea

Get out on the course James. We need to know what you think of those rails.

Nice review. I play the f9 one length hybrid in 4 & 5, then into my callaway xr irons from 6-pw (play off 17 hc). The xr 6 iron is 0.125" longer so the difference is negligible, just suits the flow of the set. The f9 one length hybrid is amazing BTW. 👌

James, you’re missing the most impressive measure .. a 1.5 smash factor is unbelievable.. I’m packing a Cobra Hybrid as soon as it’s available to us plebs

They're great hybrids, although I absolutely HATE those Lamkin Crossline grips. Cobra really could put a better grip on the club, but they're saving about $3/club. I have the F9 One Lengths +1" length with Connect Tour Velvet grips at no extra charge, but went with the F9 Standard Hybrids because they fit better with my set regarding gapping.

I just recently started using the hybrid 19* but man I’m having issues hitting it accurately because I’ve still haven’t gotten used to the 7 iron length. I do feel more comfortable hitting it and feels great when you hit it accurately but I’m still struggling. Love the vids James.

Great comparison. Deffo review the arccos system, more golfers should make use of it, because it doesn't lie.

Back to the cold after the heat of Perth, another excellent vlog 👍👍👍

I use f9 one length hybrid and love it. Definitely a bit shorter than standard length.

I had the f9 Speedback one lengths and I just couldn’t get myself to trust them, especially the PW and GW; just felt like I was going to nuke them every time I set up with them. But I couldn’t get over how easy the 7 iron length 5 iron was to hit; just a high, long, straight cannon. I’m thinking the hybrid would be the same; for the price of used I think it’s a no brainer to try.

Great video. More one length is great - also think about one length vs variable length wedges (w/in 100 yards, pitches, bunkers)

Bought one to go with my F9 one irons last year. Love it. Being taller I got it made 5 iron length to match my irons which are an 1" longer than standard.

Just looking at the smash factors / efficiency, James is very efficient but even so the one length if we ignored the ropey shot was 0.1 better. Mid handicap players will benefit purely on this alone. They might get a std club out further but a one length would yes be ultimately shorter but far more consistent. Given a hybrid is about fitting in a space in you bag distances, overall consistency is a big seller ... just need to work out what loft I need to give me my required yardage!

I play the one length 3 hybrid. It's a great escape club. Playing in Arizona, if you get a little too wayward you are hitting out of the desert. Approach shots on tight holes, it's dead straight. The one drawback I've found is lack of height, so not a great club for holding a green on the fly. It's staying in the bag this year.

i own one and it smashes! I have all one lenght clubs and will never change back!

Very interesting. Thank you. Hope you'll review the T rail irons. I'm very tempted to buy a set of these.

What are people’s thoughts on a one length split set? The main reason people get one length is for the easier long irons. But the reason people don’t buy one length is you have longer short irons and wedge. Why not split set? 5-7 are one length and 8-P are standard progressive length?

I use F7 one length that I bought used last year, I tried the F9 one length hybrid but could not get used to it. I was not too keen on the weight of it. May try the latest version when it becomes available next year. Probably makes sense to convert if you use one length irons which I changed to to ease back problems.

These new Cobra Drivers,woods,hybrid are quite appealing

Time for an upgrade on my F8 one length. Love these clubs

Great test James, Does it matter if its shorter than your 5 iron? what matters is that you hit the green more consistently with it than you do with your 4 iron which I'll bet more mid to high handicappers will

I've tested this before the standard goes further and higher ball flight for me! If I wanted one lenght I'd have to get 17/19 degree to fill the gap but then still have another gap

I would like to see you test and compare the new Callaway Super Hybrid

Yessssss give us full details about ARCCOS

I went to try a one length f9 #3 hybrid recently looking for a 200 yard club. Could not achieve it (190 best distance) however tried a std length and got the distance with 2nd shot. I like the idea of one length but opted to buy the standard length instead 😎

I have an f8 one length 19* hybrid and...I cant hit it. Any flush hit hooks on me. However, the one length is excellent around the greens. A shorter shaft hybrid is a lethal short-game club

I wonder if they'll bring their new t-rail hybrid irons out in a one length version. Now that would be interesting.

Surely club head speed and distance, but i think for the average golfer the dispersion will be better with the one length

I think it could be a good go to club in the one length when you need it.

I expect one length will have smaller dispersion and be a bit lower, but I'm guessing distance will be similar.

I own the one length hybrid. Just so easy to hit.

The lesser distance/ball-speed of the one-length is a pure consequence of its shorter length i.e. entirely expected (like comparing a 7 iron with a 5 iron!) The main advantage of the one-length is for mid-handicappers who appreciate the extra control ... not pro golfers :)

I'm seriously thinking about one length In hybrid

I would guess no more than 10 yards shorter but better dispersion for the one-length

Nice looking Hybrids I think! And the performance also looks great. But one aspect: The standart length of a 7 iron is actuell 37 inch. This is standart at the titleist blades and since the new models MP20 also at a mizuno iron (before 36.75). Maybe there are differnv´ces by wilson (37,25) or with graphit shaft irons. The 39 inch hybrid has the length of a standart 2 iron. I think this standart length hybrid could walk with 19° in my bag..... Can I win one on your chanell????

I never liked hybrids but that SZ hybrid looks amazing

I still play the f7 hybrid and 3 wood and love them...I was going to get these this year but realized the hybrids aren't adjustable and that killed it for me I'll either go Mizuno or stay f7

Please do review all the Cobra clubs. I have a feeling that the bag may very well change.

It does look really nice. Would have to be bluddy brilliant to replace my titleist 913 hybrid tho.

Head to head please on the course !

You might see some more high from the one length but im not a fan of the one length, I need a couple of these.

Great info Mr Robinson, Cobra has always made great hybrids. I still game 4 (1,2,4,6)of the old Baffler DWS hybrids. The DWS set included a 1 hybrid at 16 degrees which has replaced my Cobra F Rail 15.5 degree 3 wood in my bag. Cobra should bring back the 1 and 2 hybrid (the longest iron replacements).

I'll guess Standard length to have more dispersion but average 8 yards further. 🤔 Even I'm impressed at guessing the yard difference 😅

I'd like to see you compare the epic flash hybrid and the cobra speed zone hybrid.

Yes test the Cobra connect!

I use one length hybrid but is the same length as my 8 iron I need to add 1/2 inch ...but I like it ..my ping irons play 1/2 inch longer

Great review James. Feel free to send me any one of those Cobra hybrids to put in my bag 😆 Cheers

Not fan my mates f7 one lengh hybrid feels like jurnor club but I I probably would need 3/4 inch over standard which might feel little better , irons feel good though

I am going to assume the 1 length goes lower but straighter, i will come back here after watching your video and add on.

I’d like to see them perform out of fairway bunkers and a bit of rough, I always reach for my 3 wood

I've used one length Irons 3-lob wedge for about 2 years now....I hated the hybrids.

I think I would prefer the standard length hybrid

Please do a video outside on the course James.

What would be wrong with cutting the clubs I have down? Other than resale.

Bought a one length 4 hybrid from ebay, Arrived today and its the same length as my old 4 hybrid 🙄 got mugged right off

Bring them to the course. Bring Mark too.

Yes yes yes take it to the course please x

Tests I.ve seen in the past .about 10 yards a difference

Cobra need to make the one length hybrid in a 28 or 29° version

A hybrid hits the ball about 4 to 5 clubs longer than the corresponding iron. In my experience with a T Made TP, 3 Fujikurax stiff.(265 M).. In truth, l hate them. Not needed expense....same as 60 degree wedge. Better to be versatile with a Sand.

Looking at cutting my irons Dow what’s the longest club and the shortest length of the clubs that I should cut to

It would be a bit weird to have a set of “none length” irons and one of the one-length hybrids in the bag that had a shorter shaft than your 6 iron upwards...

Where can I see them in palm springs, ca.

Good review but I am not very impressed with the one length hybrid. Maybe just me I like my set of Taylormade M 6 Hybrids. When will we see a review on the Callaway Super Hybrid James ?? Have they not made their way into the United Kingdom yet ? Spider Dubiel

Hi James Two quick questions for you 1 what is your opinion the cobra forge tec for a 26 handicap 2 what the name of the Adidas jacket you’re wearing doing this video . .? Many thanks Wes

1 length should be shorter distance but better dispersion

Can you make a one length driver? Then have Mark have a go at them.

Love the content!! Should play 9 holes with the whole set see if one length affects your game mentally lol Simon

So cut down all your stuff to 7 iron apart from driver and you’re good to go 👍

Hi James I've gamed the one length F9 hybrids 3,4 and 5 and one thing that puzzles me is I hit them all the same distance? To make sure it wasn't just the way I hit them I got someone from the golf shop where I bought them to hit them and he found the same thing? I also got a mate who plays off 7 to hit them and again they all wnet the same distance? You should see if you can get your hands on a full set to see the difference between them.

Question.. would a 7 iron length hybrid fill a distance gap (assuming a reg length hybrid is in the bag)

2nd......I use a 21 degree one length hybrid.....brilliant club

21 degrees is (should be?) a 3 hybrid, not a 4... I mean my 4 iron is 24 degrees, add the longer shaft and supposed "faster face", if you have a 21 degrees "4 hybrid" and a standard 27° 5 iron, the gap is going to be massive (like my 21° hybrid carries about 195 meters, my 5 iron about 170 meters !!!)
