TaylorMade may have coined the word ‘Rescue’ for hybrids clubs, but the Cobra Baffler DWS is probably the best selling ‘rescue’ club at our shop. (Customers routinely ask for a ‘rescue’ club with a brand name attached. Kind of like asking for a Band-Aid when any small bandage will work).

I’m not surprised to see that Golf Magazine used the Baffler to compare with other Cobra 4-irons as an overall example for its readers. Cobra has irons for a whole range of golfers, along with two versions of the Baffler (DWS and Pro).

The Baffler DWS and 4-irons from the ProCB, FP and S9 models were struck from a fairway lie and recorded using a launch monitor. All clubs had stiff flex shafts. The Baffler DWS went 171 yards (carry) and generated the fastest ball speed (118.7mph). These scores were as much as 10% better than the S9 and 7.5% better than the ProCB. The FP was in between.

In other words, the Baffler could gain you as much as 15 yards over your current 4-iron if you’re playing – or plan to play with – Cobra clubs. But whether you play with Cobra irons or not, if you don’t use any iron above a 5-iron it really makes sense to try a hybrid.
