- Revolutionary Cobra 3D Printed irons - the future of golf is here!
The phenomenal world of 3D printing has once again collided with the world of golf.
A few years ago, Cobra made a splash with the first ever 3D Printed putter, the Supersport-35. They then followed up with the King 3D and now have a broad range of 3D printed putters in their line-up.
Building on that experience, Cobra have now deployed this cutting edge technology into the iron segment.
You may have seen headlines about Cobra's new Limit3D irons. The initial production run will be capped at only 500 sets worldwide, before production capacity can be scaled up. But the mould has been broken. Expect other manufacturers to follow suit as R&D dollars are hurled at exploring this new technology.
So, the million dollar question: does 3D printing add anything, or is it just marketing hype? Watch our video and decide for yourself.

Still dont understand why golf manufacture's don't have irons with interchangeable weights like Edel and Forward golf. This way you can change swing weights and weights to heel and toe to make it draw/fade bias. Its a no brainer for me if I made clubs. They do it in drivers why not in irons.
PING have interchangeable Tungsten toe weights.. very good for adjusting the swing weights...i 525, i230, i530
@@jackwest5295 thats not made for toe wights. thats the hole they use to fill the inside with and they capped it off, but yes you can put a heavier weight and also add some hot melt glue too. Not the same as Edel and Forward golf though
Having adjustable weights in an iron doesn’t make it draw or fade bias, that’s not how weights work in irons.
They are there for minimal CG location changes which can slightly increase ball speed if you have a heel or toe miss.
Depending on how deep the CG is, irons have almost no horizontal gear effect
@@ultimatejay also, ping doesn’t full it’s hollow body irons with any “foam” or any material. The screw indeed comes in different weights and is also used for swing weighting
It’s a mfgrg cost consideration, imo. Aimed at the $$$ market like PXG attempts to do. Look at their multi back screw heads. Easy to drill and add screws. Edel put Bryson in business. Now we know who he is.$$$$$. Given irons blade lengths, can’t see why bulge will be an advantage for the average golfer who has center impact issues to start with. Maybe is slightly incremental improvement but will be marketed like much other ‘golf industry’ jargon. IMO.
I read somewhere regarding Dechambeau’s new printed irons 11:31 that the ability to print these heads allows them to have some curvature in the face for additional forgiveness. Not the vertical curve or roll, just the horizontal curve or bulge to provide gear effect. Traditional forging by stamping only allows a flat face. Is the bulge found on the irons you have here?
Traditional forging can create a bulged face but to this point in time faces have been made flat due to the far more limited affect in irons. Bryson will always go the extra to cross off every last thing but it will be interesting to see if this truly makes a difference and cones into other head models in the future
Thanks, Simon! Very interesting what they're doing with the engineering and head construction. I myself would love a player's distance version that DID have a little flex in the face for some extra speed! But I imagine that will be along soon. Look forward to the full testing data!
You still have COR value, which makes no club legal if they have more than 1.5. There exists illegal clubs if you want to go down that route though.
Thanks Daniel and yes, I would think a model with a bit more distance built in will be coming along before too long
Now that really is the epitome of ‘packed with Tech’…….great explanation Si, this is the future for sure.👍
Thanks Andy!
its crazy how loud and "clicky" the irons sound on camera vs the low muted "thud" sound you describe in person. Wonder if it has to do with the pitch of the noise?
Yes that’s the microphone peaking out
Love Cobra, the dark horse in the corner of the room versus all the other major brands. They don't get enough credit for taking evolutionary chances. I play their MIM copper irons and the first gen 3d printed blade armlock putter.
Incredible performing irons and good looking too!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Cant wait to test these!
They’re pretty special 😬
How is this different from the 3d inserts in thd cobra ltdx irons?
There is only an insert in the LTDx irons whereas the whole face plate and centre of the body of the head is 3D printed in this model creating a huge weight saving and allowing 100g of weight to be repositioned which is truly groundbreaking
@mikesgolftips sorry I couldn’t find your reply to respond. Our good friends at Coolclubs in AZ have carried out robot testing on this iron and the performance is outstanding. Appreciate your reply 👍🏻
Released it to catch up with Bryson’s new roll and bulge irons!
I think those sped up the release date but Cobra had 3D products on tour for Bryson as far back as 2020
Aren’t the new Avoda irons 3D printed and the first ?
3d printed irons have been used on tour for nearly a decade, including some of Bryson's Cobra irons. These are just the first to be mass-produced.
That is correct. These are the first to be put into retail production but Bryson used a 3D printed driving iron on tour 5 years ago
Can’t wait till this becomes mainstream and I can play a more traditional club with great consistency and soft feel . Must be a more efficient way of making clubs.
It will be eventually but still very early days for that process so a little while yet before it is mainstream and cost effective
Metal printing is really expensive btw. Forging is a lot cheaper (currently at least) based on the time and energy necessary for printing, it is only viable for specialty parts that are impossible to manufacture in any other way.
True but the unit cost will only get less dear - just a case of by how much as to whether it is a realistic option for main stream production
this is totally the future WOW, can't wait to see what they do with this in 2 - 3 years time
Absolutely, will be fascinating when you consider how much weight saving is possible
Could be Pricey ?
£2600 4-PW 😬
@@Precision_Golf Crikey
£2500 for 7 clubs I believe. Golf prices are in crazy territory.
It is dear but currently the process is relatively slow as only 32 heads made per day. This is the first run and the “limited edition” element does carry the higher price. No doubt when they go into a more normal production volume cost will reduce
Try and keep them clean in the UK.
They’re pretty impressive to hit, the independent robot testing we’ve been privy too is very conclusive that they perform exceptionally well across the face, leader in it’s category for stability
If your slicing your pitching wedge 30 yards no weight on the head is gonna help u
True 😂
Sounds clicky to me
That’ll be the microphone peaking out 👍🏻
The specs you gave summed it up as almost identical to the Tour TEC yet they wan’t $3000US a set. Also just imagining how crap they’ll be to get dirt and mud out of that lattice work! 🤦🏻♂️
There is a backing to the lattice that is on view so shouldn’t be hard to clean. The difference to the Tec model is it is engineered for consistency rather than a hit face that can compromise that slightly so for more of a “tour-style” iron control but with if anything slightly more forgiveness than the Tec model.
I take it that you cant adjust loft & lie?
The LIMIT3D irons can be bent to adjust loft and/or lie.
Yes they can 👌🏼
Oh my god ! What are they made from, just looked it up, titanium alloy that’s been 3d printed ! Does this mean that in the future if all irons are made this way and woods are going to made from carbon. American’s will be playing a 3 carbon of the tee and 7 titanium on to the green.
Why do Americans call woods, metals ? Because this is a ridiculous path to go down because golf clubs materials are obviously going to change as we advance. History and tradition of golf is important to all cultures with history !
Metals is short for Metalwoods. Materials will always evolve but they will be historically always referred to as Woods and Irons
I'm calling cap....maybe the insert is 3d printed like their putters but not the metal. The way the coils work it wouldnt work.
It is made using a steel powder and then “set” using laser (based on the information that Cobra has provided) which is called Sintering and the scold face and core of the head is made using this process
The sound of that strike is incredible
Very solid 👍🏻
