Hi Shawn
Thanks very much for getting back to me, much appreciated. The reason we went with the Cobra King Jrs, is that he played the Cobra Li’ll Kids, and then the Jrs, which he really liked to look and feel of – he got his first hole in one 4 weeks ago – 9 iron, 110 yard Par 3, with them. The heads of the juniors and the new transition clubs are the exact same cavity back design, with a weight disc the size of a quarter/half dollar behind the sweet spot being the only difference. However, the 7 iron is 2.5” longer. The driver, 3 wood he has not really had a problem with, though they are 3 inches longer, but he has always been more confident with those clubs
The issue with the irons has really been contact both ball position and distance- hard tops, thins, some shanks, or now settled into some really deep divots, which is really starting to shorten a “majestic” follow through, and really lower the trajectory of his irons
We have been working on some drills I picked up from you and have used successfully, but have been at the same time wanting to make sure he was not fighting the wrong equipment
Any further thoughts?
Thanks again Shawn
Are you doing some distance to ball drills (goldie locks) and cutting through 2 tees?
Also some centering drills like one leg and feet together?
See the off season training series in premium, and work your way through those; see which ones stick and resonate with him and see if he can connect it to the shots he hits on range or on course;
Shawn
Thanks Shawn
Had never paid much arrention to Goldilocks, but will do, as well as one leg, feet together and 2 tees
Will report back
Much appreciated
All the best for a great New Year
merry christmas and happy new year for you shawn and all your family and thousand thanks to make the golf a wonderfull dream jj
Thank you JJ! Same to you and yours!

Hi Shawn
I have rebuilt my swing and really all,phases of my game, over the last 5-6 months with your videos, and after some pretty painful days, weeks, and months, on the range and and the course, have finally reached a point where I have a swing and a game that I am comfortable with and can build on. I write to you today not about me, but about my son.
He’s 12 years old, has been playing with me since he was 5-6, and over the last 18 months has been playing pretty seriously and is getting some game. He’s 5’4” weighs about 110. Hits a 7 iron about 125-130, and hits his driver about 170-180. He has a really solid swing, and his short game and scoring is coming around.
He has been playing Jr. clubs until this Holiday, where I bought him a set of Cobra King Jr Transition Clubs, all graphite, and he has been struggling. My thought being that this would be a good 1-2 year bridge set.
On the range yesterday, we got some unsolicited advice from a guy who was there with his 3 daughters – none of whom I was impressed with – telling us he should be playing with full size clubs and stiffer shafts. My son, loyal as he is, after trying a club the guy put in his hands, proceeded to pick up his own new clubs and stripe 3-4 pure 8 irons. But the experience has raised enough doubt for me
I would really appreciate your thoughts on club/shaft selection for him
Much appreciated, keep up the great work you are doing
Happy New Year

Hey Tim!
Good that you wrote because it is more than that! It could easily be the club heads themselves that don’t jive with him; so the best is to go by process of elimination and go to a store with hitting areas and have him try different heads from different companies in the player’s category with slight caviity for enough forgiveness but nice playability for creative play. Light steel shafts are the order of the day as graphite at this level is very short on selection.
Once you get the right club head, then get a regular men’s flex as you will be having them a bit shorter; but not too short so he can grown into them a bit too;
The club head makes all the difference as he will be hitting one or 2 of the models WAY better than the others;
Let me know how you guys do!
Shawn
