In the last year, Cobra’s One-Length irons have represented 60 percent of its iron sales, according to the company. That’s significantly higher than the 20 percent of sales that company representatives were predicting.

As such, Cobra unveiled a number of new One-Length offerings, along with other new, traditional-length golf clubs. See all of Cobra’s new products it showed on Day 2 of the 2018 PGA Show, and check out all of our photos from the show here.

King Black and King Black One-Length wedges

Cobra’s new King Black and King Black One-Length wedges (the length of a 7-iron), have Dimonized Black Metal (DBM) finishes — the same finishes that Rickie Fowler has on his King Pro irons — and are made from 8620 carbon steel.

They are available in three different grinds (Classic, WideLow and Versatile), and come in lofts of 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60 degrees.

The new black wedges will sell for $149 apiece starting on March 2. They come with True Temper Dynamic Gold S200 shafts with a Powder Coat finish, and they have Lamkin ACE Crossline grips equipped with Cobra Connect.

Forged Tec and Forged Tec One-Length irons

Cobra was being tight-lipped about the technology of the Forged Tec and Forged Tec One-Length irons. From what we can tell, they have a finish that looks similar to the DMB wedge finish, and they have True Temper’s AMT shafts in them. It also appears they have carbon fiber badges in the cavities, as well.

King Utility One-Length

Cobra would also not reveal any information about its King Utility One-Length offering, but we know it has an adjustable hosel, and will in all likelihood come in a 7-iron length.

Toulon Golf collaborates with Valhalla Golf Club for latest Small Batch putter

Published

GolfWRX Staff

Toulon Golf has today officially announced its latest Small Batch putter — the Valhalla.

Discussing the putter, Preston Toulon of Toulon Golf said: “This putter is a collaboration with the club at Valhalla and incorporates three of the many things that make the state of Kentucky great – horseracing, bourbon and championship golf. The head of the putter and headcover have several allusions to a jockey’s silk and there are thoroughbreds on the sole.”

Inspired by Toulon’s classic tri-sole Santa Monica design, the company sought to modernize the profile and design leveraging its 904 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft aluminium across the sole. Toulon describes the Valhalla’s profile as “slightly oversized blade whose proportions are meticulously balanced to maintain the look and feel of the Santa Monica, while increasing the putter’s inertia to create one of the most forgiving putters we have ever designed.”

Throughout numerous prototypes, Toulon paid particular attention to the L-neck, with its full shaft of offset, adding a bit of length for better blending with the slightly wider and longer blade.

On the rear of the putter are homages to horse racing in the form of jockey silk diamonds and Churchill Downs-inspired font.

The sole of the putter features a large cavity covered by a 6061 aircraft aluminum sole plate. According to Toulon, this allowed for the addition length to the putter and improved inertia as well as moving more mass to the perimeter for greater forgiveness.

In another nod to Valhalla, Toulon uses a milled watermarked limestone pattern, a reference to stone featured widely on the property.

As with all the Toulon Small Batch putters, the team paid particular attention to the topline thickness and radius to achieve a desired look. “Soft yet crisp was the design intent,” according to the company.
