How the 2.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what Cobra publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head | 2 | A players' utility iron: a compact, hollow iron head that forgives a little, scored as a players distance iron is. |
| Forgiveness score | 2.0 | of 5 |
A hybrid of the same loft forgives more than any utility iron. Loft, flex and hand decide which version fits you, not how forgiving it is.
