Cobras are nice from what I here. They look nice, they are expensive, but I would try one before i would get one.These are some hints from Hank Johnson who uses Cobras.
Pitch shots are most commonly used from outside 10 yards from the green all the way out to the distance of your full wedge. Pitching is one of my favorite areas for practice because it requires imagination and gives you the opportunity to sharpen your ball control skills. When you work on pitching you'll find that it improves your whole game. To be good at playing pitch shots, you must be good at controlling the trajectory, carry distance and spin on the ball. These same elements are important in all shots but especially in pitching.
The ball position for this shot is in the center, even with your chin (remember that for pitching your hands always hang under your chin). As a result, in this shot your hands are even with the ball. Your stance should be no wider than your hips and square to very slightly open depending on your preference. Regardless of the stance alignment you choose, your hips and shoulders should be square. This basic shot can be played with any of your wedges; pitching, gap, sand or lob depending on the exact trajectory and roll you want. For this stroke you should think of an equal backswing and follow-through and an angle of attack for the clubhead that "brushes" the ball off the turf. Keep the motion of your stroke smooth and remember to keep your grip pressure constant throughout the stroke.
Lob Pitch - High Trajectory
For this shot you just reverse the adjustments you made to hit the pitch and run or low trajectory pitch. Move the ball forward in your stance until it's even with your left ear. Widen your stance by moving your right foot out. With your hands hanging under your chin they will now be slightly behind the ball. This should add loft to the clubface and give you a higher than normal ball flight. Note: You must have a good lie to be successful with this shot and it does take a great deal of practice before you try it on the course. Because you want the highest pitch possible, use your lob wedge and make a big slow swing keeping the clubhead moving all the way to the finish.
Picthing Drill Start by trying pitch shots of about 10 yards. Stay at that distance until you are hitting your target consistently. Strive for consistent trajectory and ball spin. Then back up 10 yards, so that you are hitting a 20 yard pitch shot. Once again, stay at that distance until you consistently hit your target area. Continue adding ten yards until you are at a full wedge distance. If at any time you struggle with a certain distance, go back to the previous distance to rebuild your confidence. Move to the longer distance once your confidence is back.
